How to spot a risky trader
The #1 trader by ROI is not automatically a good one. Flashy returns usually come from a few home-run trades, high leverage, or scalping — and followers fail to reproduce them. Here are the 7 red flags CopyRadar filters out automatically.
Small sample
Fewer than 20 closed trades
High leverage
Max leverage 50x or higher
Profit concentration
A single trade exceeds 50% of total profit
Scalping
Median holding time under 1 hour
Copier loss
Followers' realized P&L is negative
Deep drawdown
Reported max drawdown over 40%
Symbol concentration
3 or fewer symbols traded
+ One more — an extreme win rate
An abnormally high win rate (say 95%+) can signal averaging-down / martingale — stacking small wins until one big loss wipes them out.
CopyRadar computes these from actual closed trades (not headline ROI), then assigns a 0–100 quality score and grade (A–F). See the methodology for details.
