This is not an advice for any newbie to use copy trading. I have seen many lead traders that are copied but losing. This is just about knowing if lead traders are truly making much money.
Most of the things we see on social media are just pretences. They are just a version of "what I ordered but what I got" at the end. A few years ago, there was a dude I met on Facebook who seemed to be making money trading FX. He offered copy trading services on Octafx. He would make trade calls and close them in profit. He was a scalper and traded with big lot sizes. A few positive pips would throw him into huge profit. Then reality happened to him. He lost big time and burnt several live accounts that followed him. That also ran him into huge debts too.
For me, I haven't copied anyone's trade for live trading. I may monitor them to see how things go. In most cases, the copy traders flop and end in loss.
