Yes, copy trading may be effective in seeking for profits but only for those who are willing to take the risk and know exactly those risks involved. However, for beginners in trading, I cannot guarantee that they can manage properly the risk in copy trading, especially that they have less experience as traders and are not completely aware on how to make money in trading, most particularly on how copy trading works and become profitable. But I must say copy trading is a great way to make money, it’s just that the risks involved are not applicable for beginners.
Not every time copy trading works well, especially for newbies. I think a newbie needs to use the strategy that is suitable for them, not following the popular trading strategy.
