5 rules for copy-trading risk management

Picking a verified trader isn't the end. Even the best trader will lose you money if you don't manage risk. Here are 5 basics that cut losses.

Start with money you can lose
Not rent or borrowed money. Learn the ropes first with an amount you can afford to lose.
Set copy amount & stop-loss
Most exchanges let you cap the per-trade amount and a maximum loss. Always set them.
Diversify across traders
Don't bet everything on one. Split across 2–3 different styles so one blowup hurts less.
Keep leverage low
High leverage gets liquidated in one sharp move. If a trader runs high leverage, copy them smaller.
Re-verify periodically
A trader who looked good once won't stay good forever. Re-check the quality score and red flags regularly.
A high score doesn't remove risk.

Past-data analysis doesn't guarantee the future. Risk management matters as much as trader selection.
