What is the difference between lead traders and copy traders?

Lead traders are professional traders who manage portfolios, allowing other users to replicate their strategies. Lead traders attract more copy traders (or followers) by sharing their trading strategies and earn a share of the followers' profits.
Copy traders (or followers) are users who replicate the trading strategies of lead traders. Followers earn profits from copied trades and share a portion of these profits with the lead trader.

How does copy trading work?

Currently, KuCoin allows followers to copy lead traders' USDT perpetual contract trades. As a lead trader, you can switch to the lead trading account on the futures trading page to initiate trades, aiming to increase trading success and profitability to attract more followers. Followers can copy trades either in proportion to their own margin versus the lead trader's margin or based on a fixed margin amount set by the follower. Please note that followers will only replicate new positions opened by the lead trader after they begin copy trading.
To become a lead trader, go to the copy trading page on your KuCoin account and apply to be a lead trader. You can earn profit-sharing from your followers' earnings.

What are the benefits of copy trading?

It helps beginners understand the crypto market and build confidence in trading.
By observing others' trading behaviors, especially those of experienced traders, new traders can learn how to trade.

What are the risks of copy trading?

All investment products involve risk. The main risk in copy trading is the choice of lead trader and their portfolio and trading strategies. If a lead trader's strategy fails, their followers may also incur losses. In copy trading, followers also face slippage risk, especially when market volatility affects trades and leads to insufficient liquidity. Due to slippage or different entry points, followers' actual return on investment (ROI) may differ from that of the lead trader. Followers may also encounter systemic risks if the market undergoes rapid increases or declines. Additionally, a lead trader's past performance does not guarantee future results, so followers should choose carefully. You should decide the investment amount based on your personal situation and risk tolerance.
