We can just skip market analysis, not put in any effort or time, and have someone else handle our trading. It sounds almost too good to be true, doesn't it? That's what copy trading offers us, but can we really trust it?
It's not a must that we go through analysis efforts, once the copy trade could do it for us, I see no reason why we don't utilize it, especially when we don't know how to trade or have busy schedules. But the issue is how to get the right strategy provider, and what I've seen in my long years of trading even before the dominance of cryptocurrency is that they don't often work, and those who work well do not last, and those that last without ruining copier's account do not have a convincing record to quantify the number of years they use in achieving their tiny success.
For this, my conclusion is that copy trade could be good only if traders could do their due diligence. But they still have to be sure that they are monitoring the provider actively after initially certifying it as a trusted one. This could limit the damage the provider could do to the account because, after some good records, they don't often replicate it.
