Frequently asked questions
What is copy trading?
It's a way to invest where your account automatically mirrors an experienced trader's trades. You don't have to watch charts — pick a good trader and their positions are replicated in your account, scaled to your size. But losses are copied just like profits, so who you follow is everything.
Does a high ROI mean a good trader?
No. Flashy ROI usually comes from high leverage, scalping, or a few lucky home-run trades — and followers rarely reproduce it. In fact, many of the top 20 traders by exchange ROI carry one or more red flags.
Is copy trading a scam? Is it safe?
Copy trading itself is a feature offered by real exchanges like Binance and OKX, where your funds stay in your own account and you can withdraw or stop anytime. Beware offshore platforms that ask you to deposit into their wallet — stick to exchange-native copy trading where you keep custody of your funds.
Is CopyRadar free?
Yes — it's free and needs no signup. We analyze actual closed-trade records (not headline ROI) to show each trader's quality score (A–F) and red flags.
Which trader should I copy?
Look at sample size, max drawdown, profit concentration, and whether the people actually copying them are up or down — before the return number. The scanner surfaces traders verified on these signals.
