My Kind of Passive Income

What does it mean when we say copy trading?

From the word itself, we can already know if what is it all about, to copy the trade of an expert trader.

Is this legit?

Yes, there are exchanges wherein copy trading is available. I am not promoting any kind of exchange here, so I won't drop any.

Why do people do copy trading?

Usually people who copy trade are those who do not have any trading experiences since this will also help them in learning how to trade.

Copy trading is really a pure passive income. The only thing that you need to do is to make an account, deposit your money you want to invest then set up your account.

Who to choose when you want to copy trade?

• Profitability

Of course, your main reason if why you engage in copy trading is to gain. So choose the person whom you know, will give you high profits.

Usually, the exchanges who allows copy trading let us see the trading performances of the traders who allowed themselves to be copied.

• Acuracy

Are their profits consistent or their are more losing trades rather than winning trades. Choose a trader who makes sure that their are more winning trades rather than losing trades.

• Timeline

Consider also on how long does it take for them to close their trades.

• Familiarity

It is better to copy a trader whom you really know personally. Lucky are those people who knows someone who is an expert trader. When you know them personally, and you know what kind of person are they, you will already weigh if is it okay to copy them. You may feel safe once the one you are copying is you know personally.

Pro's and cons

In every thing that we do, risk is always present. It is only the person on how he / she will take responsibilities.

Pros in Copy Trading

• You do not need extra effort on how to earn because you will already earn just by copying someone who is skilled in trading.

• Their profits, will also be their profits, well it will now only depend in your capital. Because some copy trading will make you choose if you will copy them if it will be "in proportionate in your account"

• Passive Income. You will no longer be stressed when it comes to gaining money.

Cons in Copy Trading

• Trading is not always about winning. Either you will lose, you will earn. So better check the profitability chart of that someone who want to copy. No one can really predict the market. Even experts trader has failures sometimes in making video.

• Paying commission fees. Of course, in everything that we do, there will always be an exchange. It is a give and take process. The expert trader gives you passive income but in return, the copy trader asks for fees. There are traders who only charges copiers with low percentage but others ranges from 20% to 35% of the profit earned.

• You can choose a lot of traders for you to copy but it is nice when you really know the person personally for you to be updated or if you do not know this person, it is okay too all you have to do is to check from time to time the status of the trade.

Final Thoughts
