These are the features let their community to make a decision what's up in that trade but it's not a the tool to make you more lazy people now want to learn in crypto with the use of other people and one of this is the copy trading you are letting other people make trade with your money. For some people yes it's convenient but if you are more conscious with your money you want to learn it from your self of course people want to make trade on their own it's part of their growth too so they don't become dependent with other peoples signal they can now decide on their own and make a come up strategy.

Social trading can be both beneficial and dangerous if you misuse it. Social trading should be used to improve your skills as a trader and not be used to be depending on other people to do the analysis of the market then you wait to profit from them. You are going to be dependent on other people and you soon would not be able to make your own trades because you have lost touch of how to analyzed the market. You would not also have experience to depend on to improve your trades because the only thing that you now rely on is what other have predicted about the market. You do not know if their predictions will be correct or not therefore you are taking more risk and not different from a beginner that carries a gambling mindset to join the market with the hopes of being lucky.

Following up someone else trading signal as a newbie trader is not always advisable because when you keep following that person in form of copy trade whenever such person make seriously makes it surely affects you that is following up the person. What do you do then is better to develop yourself and have your personal trading guides and techniques for a better trading experience, for instance you can learn from various people and create your own methods that could suits you more better than following up others on how they trading.

Anything fun to learn by yourself should not be copied from someone else and the same is true in trading. If you find a good expert who you are copying. If the signals all sound right and he is a successful trader, then you can make a good profit, but if you are following someone who is self-destructive or who does not understand the market very well, you lose a good amount of money.

It is also worth noting that when we are copying someone else, we are not learning anything from ourselves, our minds become dependent on others, and the ability to think for ourselves is not enough. Our self-confidence also decreases, so a person should learn and trade by himself.

This is the reason why I'm against copy-trading.

The concern about following someone blindly when it comes to trading which might lead you to things that might not work for you is a valid concern but as OP stated earlier, it's the professional traders that are sharing their stuff so I'm not keen on leaning too much on that very concern if it's the pros that are giving you the tips on how to read the charts and it probably would only matter when you're reading a different chart but other than that, I don't think that we're ever going to see some kind of difference and I think that the cons is just too low to not consider social trading as a good way to learn how to trade, wouldn't that be the best thing though? People sharing ideas and tricks on how to make money in the market in real time?

It’s highly possible that in every social trading group, there are of course some reputable traders that are going to share their knowledge and trading experiences, which creates an advantage for new traders to learn the process faster than trading on their own. So with that, social trading is quite beneficial for new traders in the market.

However, enriching their knowledge and own learning experience in the market should still be given the highest priority. They can’t be good traders in the process if they are not definitely inclined with trading, and they can’t be reliable and reputable traders in the future if they keep relying their success on their co-traders.

Still, this isn't enough reason to trust those pros wholeheartedly just because they are well-experienced traders. Not all that work for them will also work for beginners, so it's a fact that beginners should also study the market as well and even make an in-depth research. Although listening to the suggestions and advices of the pros is never a problem, but at the end of the day, the trader itself should learn to validate those what he hears and should only follow his own final trading decision.

It's pretty exciting how these platforms are creating communities where we can all learn from each other. Recently, Bitget introduced Real-time K-line Sharing. That allows affiliates to share buy and sell signals directly on the charts with their referrals.

On one hand, it can be awesome to learn from the pros and see how they're reading the charts. On the other hand, blindly following someone else's signals might not be the best recipe for success. So, what do you think? Could this kind of social sharing improve decision-making for new traders?

For me, there are advantages in social trading, most are you learn from the experts and interact in the community - it will help you to become more open with other people and possibly to learn also other skills from them.
The disadvantage is you could become dependent on others but don't practice it.
So for me, it can indeed improve decision-making in trading by providing educational resources and community support.

Yes, I agree with you. Recently, Binance and Coinbase have been facilitating trading. Apart from these two, there are many other platforms that encourage trading. Yes, you can take advice from skilled and experienced traders, but remember that the risk is still there. Because if you make a decision depending 100% on someone else, it may not be good for you. Yes, social sharing helps new traders make decisions, but new traders also need to do their own research. Trading should not be done solely based on others persons research.

The owners/maintainers of cex keep up with the times by providing features to share information especially interacting with favourite influencers in search of information whether analysis, fundamentals or new projects. Social media is so important, if the cex is integrated as it is today, it is a solution step and can facilitate space, meaning that you don't have to move between the cex and media app for interaction even though it is sometimes not complex and on social media, at least when the influencer is trading it can accompany him with the same cex. For success in trading, of course, measure the capital, psychology and when to take profit even with the direction of the same person but the fluctuation of people in taking profit is different depending on the amount of assets being traded. I support the shell and updated over time, for me not bored on the cex because there is a medium of entertainment with other people's posts.

The main idea for a CEX is to keep people trading, because that's how they make a profit and the more you trade the more money you will make. So, they will create a lot of features and have created a lot of features that makes people stay at the website.

A long term investor is not someone they like, but someone who can trade a lot? They love that person. So, when you do something like social trading, when one person trades a lot, and others follow that person and trade a lot with him, causing tens even hundreds of people trading endlessly, that is a dream for an exchange. This is why they created this feature, doesn't mean the feature is bad, just means that we are talking about something that is a little bit cheeky that's it.

This is true, they are going to of course benefit from someone like this, they are going to make some good return from it as well. I think the best way to approach this subject would be just looking at what we can do with what we have. I know that it is going to be hard, but we need to do a better job at it if we know what we are doing.

This doesn't mean that we are going to start making a profit right away, it just means that we have a chance to give it some time instead of judging it. Social trading could be something exchanges done to profit their pockets again, but that doesn't mean you can't make money from it, doesn't mean you will make money either, just means that it's another way if you want to give it a try.

Trading decision making is always hard and tough, most particularly if you are a beginner trader. However, with frequent experience in the market, with the help of social trading, that concern may also come to improve. But it’s always a must to gain knowledge and clear understanding on trading the market first before you decide trading with real money. Or else, you will keep losing your money, the more you trade, the bigger the losses you will continue to incur.

When someone is just starting out in trading, of course they will need a long process when deciding on something to trade and it is true as you said, when they continue to practice and learn about trading, of course they will be able to have skills in trading, continue to learn about trading first. before deciding to trade with real money, of course this is the right choice because when someone trades without a clear understanding and knowledge of course they will not be able to get any profits from the trades they make and even those who have a lot of experience still learn about trading so they can make the right decisions when trading.

Stay away from trading if you intend to freeload information and signals from blog posts, telegram groups and off others, the misery with trading hits home hard, if you a desperate new trader binance dying to trade so much that you get blinded by the fact of being called a trader, well just follow other traders and open the same position as them and good luck, they win you win and if they lose you lose, but don't forget most of this traders you copy have more time and patient, so to make sure you have the same time and patient, please do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose, trade with that money that would have been spent anyways on Friday night in some bar looking for random chick to take home for the night ,so it will be trading over guilty pleasure

You are right, I went through a phase where cex was nothing to feast my eyes on, too full of charts and indicators and speculating on my own, it was boring. The original purpose of trading changed to just monitoring and closing again. Grin

There was buying and withdrawing to my personal wallet, at that time social media became a convenient means even to find new coins/tokens that were sought after. So far, cex innovation is the most suitable, can copy trades, copy take profits and follow the trend of investors including those who are feverish or in the future can be more personalised. it really feels that this social technology is integrated, sometimes I even feel more at home in cex with their posts and forget my purpose, because there is free worthy of general media (airdrop posts). the need for cex is increasing and I think the current cex ui /ux is very easy to understand including those who are new / new to having an account though. Indeed, the purpose of the cex is to make visitors come more and the aspect that I feel the most is as a fun and comfortable place to interact will gradually trade and collect in the cex, because it is used to being there with small daily activities.

You have answered the question, following them blindly is foolish but there is a lot we can learn from them by studying and comparing with our own analysis, so decisions are still made with caution and after doing our research or analysis.

Such social sharing is held with good intentions to provide lessons to traders both new and old, but it is also wrongly interpreted for lazy traders who consider it an easy-to-determine position because they do not need to be tired of analyzing, but only traders who are willing to improve their trading skills at all costs will survive and make a profit.

Social sharing can improve someone skills if he wants to learn that for his own good. But many people will not wants do that and willing to wait for other people signal trading. They don't wants to learn trading for more and thinks that they can gets the signal trading from that way.

If they can learn from social sharing about trading, they will gets new experience and knowledge so they can improves their skills. They can gets the signal from that way but they don't have to use it or depends on that signal because we don't knows where the market will go exactly.

They can also share what they learn using that way so they can discuss with other people. That will helps them to improves their way because they can gets many things from sharing that. They can learn something from that discussion so that will improves their skills better.

To be frank with you, what I think is that trader's performance will not still improve by it. Social trading is not just starting and this is not the first time that social trading is being fine-tuned to achieve success for the broker/exchanges, followers and master/signal providers, but what has the result become? I've also seen enough bots in operation for many years by bot labs and signal providers, tutors doing their things like, you name it, but to what end? This is why it is good that you even learn how to trade rather than rely on anyone or a bot because, in the end, it doesn't work. And even if it works but later the source is no longer accessible, what will be the lot of the person?

If at all you will be enjoying the service of social trading, it should be for two reasons, 1) Educational and 2) Secondary. The first is to learn whatever could be learned from the program, which is why I like those ones who trade live and also explain what they are doing to their audience. As it is said, "no knowledge is lost." As for the secondary, it means to do it on another side while you have your real trading quest that you are handling solely by yourself and not relying on social trading.

They are trying to help newbies learn about trading which I would say is a trademark for any exchanges making new traders stay on their site and trade. They feed information and some sort of learning activities that could encourage learners and think that simply following all the ideas will able for them to generate profit. It is give and take, a good marketing strategy helps both parties.

Why are exchanges doing this? Of course, they benefit more if many people trade with them, their commission increases and generates more income.
But still, the future of our trading journey lies in the hands of the trader, not the exchange.

If they, new traders, don't know how to trade, what should they do?

They should not trade. Listeing to others, on media, Facebook, Twitter, Binance Feed, Coinmarketcap feed, to trade with total dependence on analysis of others, is stupid. They will not know how their trades will end and with dependence like this, they will not learn anything through their trading experience. They can not improve themselves and will get more loss with time.

New traders must start with learning on trading courses, before they start trading with small capital.

Awesome cryptocurrency trading

Trading decision making is always hard and tough, most particularly if you are a beginner trader.

You can consider this as your learning guide but I don't suggest to fully rely on this, you have to consider the risk of doing trades without understanding it's fundamental strategy. You can all have the signal and advises from the pros but still at the end of the day you should have your own strategy that will fit for you, and by this you can have real success in trading.

Well, aside that it can be of more help to you that serves as your supporting team in trading and leaves a positive effect emotionally, this is also a great avenue to improve your own trading skills and strategies that you will only completely rely when this trading community suddenly gone. So it’s more on creating positivity than the other way, but as long as you also learn on yourself and build your own confidence in trading, at the end of the day, you will only trade following your own decision in trading, and not rely on others as they are not actually 100% reliable at all times.
