# Copy-Trading Daily Log
Practical copy-trading tips to avoid pitfalls
1 Start with a small amount of capital: test with a limited sum first, and only increase the allocation after you get familiar
2 Diversify your copy-trading: don’t put all your funds into copying just one person
3 Review regularly: check the results of the copy trades, and adjust or stop in time
4 Keep learning: understand the trading logic and don’t rely entirely on others
5 Use the smart mode: beginners are advised to use smart mode, following the lead trader’s portfolio strategy completely
Risk warning
When the lead trader loses, copy-traders will also incur losses
Contract copy-trading carries liquidation risk under high leverage
The lead trader’s recommendations are based only on historical data and do not constitute investment advice
If you want to start copy-trading, it’s recommended that you first review the lead trader’s detailed data and historical performance on the Gate platform, and choose a trading strategy that matches your risk tolerance.
