Topic: Which is better to invest in copy trading or bot - page 4. (Read 614 times)

Bot and copy trading work almost the same because the bot works through a program and that program is created by a human so a programmer programs the bot based on his own research and analysis. I don't like being dependent on anything to trade. trades must be done through your own personal research and analysis. It improves confidence and reduces fear in trading. So I don't think trading through bot or copy trading is a logical decision. Both of these are very risky

I dont know if it is just me, but I personally dont like those trading classes and the people who say to be professional traders and are giving classes for money. I have read on the internet that most of the time that kind of people are not actually successful traders and just try to profit off people who actually want to learn, by repeating things which the student could find in a Youtube video on their own.

I assume there must be some exceptions to this norm, but I don't see why someone as a professional speculator, would decide to exchange their secrets for money, when there is the chance just to continue trading and get the money.

Well, I will not take a bet on any of both, investing on a copy trading or bot simply means that, you will be trading both on other person's or peoples opinion..

With 4k bitcoin, which I assume to be $4000 in bitcoin, I will advice you to attend a trading class, take your time to learn all that there is to trading, trust me, you will be glad you did.

But assuming I assumed wrongly, and that you actually own 4000 bitcoins, I won't trade if I were you, I will just sell some part, maybe 2 or 3 bitcoins, establish a very big business which I will he managing, the rest of the bitcoins, I will allow them to sit there until my price target is reached.

If you want to become a successful trader, learn it the hard way.

Those experts now had to spend many time learning the in's and out's of trading. What strategy will work for them, and what isn't working. What indicators do they need in order for them to know the good entry, and exit point. Those experts didn't use a copy trader, or any bots at all because they know that they can do better than both of them.

You have the money yes, but you don't have the skills. If you want to trade, learn it, research on it, and invest some time learning it. I'm not using both of them, and I didn't even try using both of them, so I don't know which would be better, but what's the alternative? You. You need to learn trading, so you can control when you need to enter, and when to exit, and not relying on these some bots. Better if you just buy, and hold your Bitcoin if you don't want to learn trading by yourself, or maybe find a mentor that'll help you if you really want to learn it.

both are very risky so we must first learn how to invest without having to use bots, because the bot has been fully managed by the program so we are difficult to get profits and the bot on average there are many scammers, and you have 4k BTC it is a fairly large asset so you must be careful in investing so that you can add to the results and bitcoins you currently have, Look for other solutions besides using bots or in copy trading.

Both are extremely bad ideas which will end up with you losing all your money. And before you even ask, no, signals are not real and only scammers will provide signals. What you should do, since you are so interested in trading, is to learn how to trade in the first place and then you can practice on mock trading sites which do not require you to use real money. After you have gotten used to trading and understand the fundamentals of trading analysis and strategies then and only then should you try trading with actual real money.

Copy trading? Show me a trader who never makes mistakes. Bots? If there was a good trading bot, it would not be open to the public.

You have to be careful when it comes to money. You have to assume everyone is trying to trick you.

Best choice I guess is to study how trading really works. Well, copy trading and bot trading would be good options but would you be really happy winning in such way without knowing what is happening with your money? Not to mention losing in these ways. Atleast if you would lose with your decisions, atleast you'd learn something from it. Copy trading would give you profit especially if you picked the right trader but keep in mind that you have different margins which could make a change with the outcome as well. And as for bot, there's be times of some bugs and inconvenience. So better do it on the right way that trading should be done.

Even for a veteran, copy trading and trading with or without a bot is still a lot riskier than investing. Given that there is also a risk in investing therefore I won't call it safe. Profitability will depend on the person. No matter what they do, whether they invest or trade but if their skills are still low, they won't still make a good amount of profit.

Having a passion for one thing is important and we don't just force our selves to like them because we won't still be successful at them. Copy trading might only be for the lazy while using bots can sometimes be for the person who are busy. Not all copy trading are scam. Maybe you are not only aware that some are earning on them.

I will not advise you to use anyone. How reliable are these platforms or individuals you intend to copy from? I have seen various adverts on social media of trading gurus that are proficient in trading but sometimes they turn out to be fake or amateur traders. Bots can not also be trusted because they cannot be compared to human intelligence. They are programmed to work in a specific pattern. A slight change in the predicted situation can lead to serious trading errors.

They best option is to learn about trading. Read and watch materials on trading and use your experience to engage in it. It will be better to have your destiny in your hands. At least if you lose or gain, it's your fault, and you won't blame or praise anybody or machine. But if can stand the risk of trusting a trader or an AI tool, then you can go on with anyone.

I agree with your advice, for a newbie with no knowledge of trading, its best he stays away from it and just holds his bitcoins. Holding is not only safe, but it can also be more profitable than trading. Of course, if he is passionate about trading, he can start, but let's start with the knowledge not to seek to copy signals from others or use bots.

I sincerely advise OP not to trade without any knowledge, honestly, I have not seen anyone who can make a profit from copying others, it's all scams.

There's no such invest in copy trading or trading bot, you're trading and you has a chance to lose more than 50% of your beginning amounts. Either copy trading or bot trading, both of them are scam because there's no such tool where someone can make easy money. Copy trading is just use someone else trading activity and bot trading is giving you a signal when to buy and when to sell.

If you want to invest, just buy Bitcoin and hold it on your non custodial wallet, don't stake into a centralized site.

Just buy and hold. It is stress free, risk free. Trading is for the pros and since you are not a pro you shouldn't do it. You can mimic pros but what if he suddenly stops sharing his trades? Also what if he gets caught in a bad run and ends up broke? You will get broke too. It is always better to trust your own abilities instead of depending on someone else's and if you don't know how to trade then the answer is very clear: BUY & HOLD

This is a very straightforward response just as it should. Trading is intentional. The OP has to know that one has to be both vested and committed to the process. And it is fun too. The goal of trading shouldn't just be about to make money. It should be more than that.

I agree that this topic should be moved to the trading board where more seasoned traders would respond based on personal experience.

I've used both and I still lost some money, it's not going to be easy to find the right trading bots as many are nonsense and high risk, and copy trading can be blinding at times, one day I made over 1000$ copy trading on a exchange, I thought yes I found the best trader online that can help make me some money but later all his trades went against him and that's how I kept losing 100s of dollars, it was like he lost his lucky gem or just his bad luck and I stopped following him, I quit copy trading after trying other traders out, they all seem to be the same with results.

It's better to learn trading yourself, there is always a way in every things that seem hard at first, if you can get serious with trading you will find your own strategy, it's only going to take time and complete focus.

I would say just hold your 4K bitcoin because that’s pretty good amount if you look by the perspective of % gain over the period of time. As you know yearly hikes for the bitcoin could range from 50-200% or more. May be more I think because we have seen miraculous price hikes for a period of the one year or so. I think best advisable thing is to hold only. You will end up in unsecured investment if you do it on the bots. They are not sure shot way of making proper trades. They are sometimes just product which are getting sold in the name of making profits for you. So just be cautious while taking all the decisions.

don't trade this both way because these are not right way to invest in bitcoin or altcoins, i traded by bot but it's looks high risk,
because it will not work always, why you need to follow these way,
if you don't know about basic trading then just hold your coin in strong hand which is the best way to make profit in bitcoin.

I don't think both methods are right for you. As a newbie, you should start by equipping yourself with knowledge and begin like others instead of looking for things that are not real. I dare to bet you that, whether you rely on others or use bots to enter trading, there will be a common outcome, that is loss and loss of money. No job or investment can be profitable without learning, without knowledge, and depending on others. If the bot could turn a profit for you, its creator might have gotten rich trading instead of selling it to you.

Firstly, you should not state how much BTC you have. In doing so, you are opening yourself up to all kinda of social attacks that could lead to a breach, and loss of funds.

In terms of what is better, you'll have a lot more trial and error experience in finding a working strategy with a not, and even after you find a strategy there will always be a point where that strategy epically fails, or fails enough to wipe out most/all gains and create a loss. Mitigating chance of loss massively reduces returns where there's no point to begin with.

Copy trading removes the trial and error process in exchange for trusting that someone else has done that process and is using a working strategy built for the long term (always unlikely, never certain), and leaves you open to the same (or larger) potential fail points as configuring a born with your own strategy.

The best thing you can do is manage positions. Positions with a minimum length of 3 days, stretching to weeks, sometimes months, can be a much better way to increase accuracy and produce positive results. Short term methods like bots and day trading never work out due to unpredictable volatility. Managing longer term positions increases reliability of the longer the time frame that you are conducting analysis and setting your goals for.

Tldr: Don't bother with bots or copy trading. Do research, conduct analysis, manage positions.


Come on. Use some common sense. Obviously he means $4,000 worth of BTC.

Who would bother trading or doing anything other than holding their wealth at the point of 4,000 BTC ($120,000,000) let alone asking a forum for advice.

OP, from your questions I believe you are a newbie to trading, so my suggestion for you is that you should make out chance for yourself to dive into trading contents and read, practise, ask questions on the Trading Discussion Board, and learn. Then you will know some basic things about trading, practise how to trade, develop your strategy, and master it. After which, you should be able to copy other traders analysis and try it out with yours to see which one is better. From there, you can also try other traders strategies, and you will be able to tell if they are favourable or not.
I will not advise you to use bots. The reason is that I don't really use bots for my trading and have not used them before. Also, for copy trading, while I was trading in the past, I relied mostly on my strategy. If you are inexperienced with trading, you will just end up losing your $4,000

Copy trading strategies can work for a while, get profit but the market will change after about 6 months. Usually it will have very big change every six months and you can lose big money with copy trading strategy at such times.

Trading bots can not help you if you set up bad parameters for your bot. Another risk is API can be hacked and your fund at exchanges will be affected.

$4000 or 4000 BTC?

You are confusing yourself between invest and trade. Do you want to use that $4000 or 4000 BTC to trade or to invest?

Either it is $4000 or 4000 BTC, it is very big money.
