How much do you earn?

Asking how much you earn by activating the copy trading feature is like asking when the exact date will be when the sun will cease to exist: you don't know. If you have decided to trade, know that there are never, and I repeat never certain earnings.

You can be good and lucky and take home a nice nest egg, but it can also happen that you lose everything.

It does not matter whether you are the person trading, or have chosen an expert trader to emulate by activating the copy trading functionality.

Even the best trader can make a mistake in making predictions because maybe a completely unexpected event happens and therefore his operations turn out to be complete losers.

In online trading, "risk" and "unpredictability" are the main factors. But as there is a risk, there is also the possibility of making good returns.

On the web, there are articles in which housewives, office workers and workers proudly announce their earnings of 1,000, 2,000, even 5,000 euros a week. In most cases, these are real advertising articles, created ad hoc to make you subscribe to the trading platform and to which you do not give the slightest credit.

This does not mean that you cannot get good earnings, quite the contrary. There are those in trading who have done their main job and you could too, but at your own risk. Nothing in trading is obvious and certain. Just as you can earn a lot, you can also lose everything.

The factors that determine the results do not always depend solely on you.

The factors that play a key role in the success or failure of your investments are:

► Your skill and experience (or that of the trader you have chosen to copy). By studying, trying and testing, you can gain a good experience and develop successful strategies. To start, you can follow the most experienced traders, thanks to social and copy trading.
► The unpredictability. The fluctuations of the market can be foreseen, but something can always happen, suddenly, that upsets the plans and makes the market go in the opposite direction to that hoped for.
► The amount invested. If you invest a lot of money, you can make (or lose) a lot. If you invest little, it is difficult for you to make significant gains (or losses).

Opinions

The web is teeming with super positive opinions towards various online trading platforms, often commissioned and paid for by the same company. So be careful when you read articles that show only the positive effects: in most cases, it is advertising created and paid for ad hoc. In reality, copy trading has advantages and disadvantages.
