Copy trading is for those who own a lot of money + they don't have time to spend on the analysis and all the trading-related stuff but i am damn sure a newbie or a person who owns a few amounts of money should not try this. As recently in Pakistan copy trading by students from the waqar zaka official was the hot topic for taking wrong trades in volatile market.
If someone has a lot of money and they do not have the time or the interest to learn how to trade on their own then why use copytrading when they can simply hire a money manager which could do the job for them? Now obviously picking a money manager has all kind of issues and pitfalls in which you may fall, but that would be the correct option for those people, in a way those which engage in copytrading seem to want to imitate this dynamic but without having to pay big money for the service.
