Choosing "people" for copy trading is more important than choosing "strategies"
This time, I didn't follow for the returns, but to observe a trader's behavior during a consolidation phase. My focus was not on how much he earned, but on how he handled position management during drawdowns. In practice, I found that after two consecutive losses, this trader clearly slowed down, reduced position sizes, and decreased trading frequency, rather than trying to quickly recover. This left a deep impression on me. Ultimately, the overall returns during this period were not outstanding, but the drawdown was very well controlled. After reviewing, I realized: the truly worth long-term follow are those who can still stick to the rules during downturns. A summary of experience in one sentence: copy trading is not about copying returns, but about learning a trading personality. If someone can't handle losses, no matter how high their win rate, it's not worth following.
