Choosing a Strategy is a key step when starting Copy Trading.
The right one can help you grow your profits — the wrong one can lead to losses. Here’s how to decide smartly:

📆 Time-proven Strategies

Look at: “Active Days”
This tells you how long the Strategy has been running.

  • A longer track record = more proven experience.

  • But remember — time active ≠ guaranteed success.
    Still, it’s a useful sign of reliability.

📊 Profitability trends, growth and ROI potential

Look at: Profit Charts, ROI, Equity

These show how well the Strategy has performed over time.

  • Fast gains over a short period = maybe high risk.

  • Steady growth over time = likely better risk control.

💡 Look beyond the numbers: consistency matters.

💰 Strategy Provider's Equity

Look at: Provider’s Equity (how much of their own money is in the Strategy)

The more the trader invests in their own Strategy, the more likely they are to manage risk carefully.

It’s a good sign of confidence and responsibility.

📉 Margin chart metrics

Look at: Margin Usage Chart

This shows how much leverage (borrowed money) the trader is using.

  • Higher margin = higher risk.

  • Lower margin = more conservative trading.

If you prefer safer Strategies, go for lower margin usage.

⭐ Additional Strategy activity indicators

Each Strategy can earn up to 5 stars for consistency and overall performance.

  • More stars = generally more reliable.

  • It’s a quick way to compare options.

📶 Strategy's Pie chart

Each Strategy has a pie chart showing which assets the trader focuses on.

  • Helps you see what they trade most.

  • Useful for assessing if you’re comfortable with that asset mix.

  • A great tool for your personal risk management.

Be Patient and Observe

If you're unsure, just watch for a bit.

  • Monitor how your top picks behave over a few days or weeks.

  • Better to take your time than rush in.

💡 Tip: There’s no perfect strategy — but with a bit of research, you can find one that matches your goals and risk comfort.
