However, it's not a guaranteed profit-making scheme. Remember that copy trading isn't a surefire profit path. Do your due diligence and set rules for shadowing traders—it's a vital technique but not foolproof. Traders sometimes enter a trade early, make a profit, and then share it on their timeline. If you copy the trade without knowing this, you might end up losing. That's why it's crucial to do your homework.
