The idea

Copy trading means your wallet buys and sells when a trader you pick does. You set how much to spend per trade.

Picking a trader

Look at their results over 30 days, not one big win. Check how often they trade, how long they hold, and whether their losses are small compared to their wins.

Risks

You enter a little after the trader, so on fast coins your price can be worse. Set a spending limit per trade and per day, and never copy with money you can't lose.

On YAP
