Copy Trading – The Risks, Rewards and Reality There has always been something that confuses me when I click on the ‘Copy Pro Investors’ section on eToro — the tabs and statement on the landing page.

Update on my “when to copy” experiment 📊 A few months ago I asked: What if success in copy trading isn’t just about who you copy… but also when you copy? Many PIs say the best time to copy is now.

What if the biggest mistake in copy trading isn’t who you copy—but when you copy? On eToro, most conversations focus on which Popular Investor to copy.
