I wrote about copytrading. In copytrading, my idea of market moves doesn’t mean anything. I fully rely on master who opens and closes all the positions.
There is a very big difference between futures trading and gambling because gambling is based purely on luck and there is no influence of anything else at all, while futures trading is based on your knowledge and experience about the market and your ability to do analysis based on the data and charts available, you can know the outcome of a trade if you know what you are doing but you can never know the outcome of a bet because it is not based on anything but a result generated by an RNG.
What about betting on sports? Isn’t it a kind of gambling? I think it’s very similar with copytrading. In betting, you assess the sportsmen and bet on one of they who seems to be the strongest. This is not only about your luck. The same is in copytrading. I assess different masters and choose one to bet on. I get profit if the chosen masters is stronger than the market. Otherwise, I get loss.
