Among the list of platforms mentioned in this thread, I was curious to know which one you guys prefer to use and why.
I can vouch for zulutrade and etoro. Both the platforms are popular & have some really experienced traders so, I can easily pick a suitable trader for myself. But I'd suggest to test the platforms on a demo account first to ensure whether or not it offers everything you are looking for.
I am testing few platforms on demo. Will surely reply to your comment once I decide to go live with one of them.
How do spreads work in copy trading? Will those be the same as that of the trader I’m copying trades from or will there be a difference in spreads?
Can anyone advise how one goes about setting up a copy trading account? Can I directly link my broker account or do I need to create an account first on the platform?
I think you can create an account on the platform and then link it to your broker account if the platform supports your broker. Also, you can contact their support team if you have any broker-related questions.
