I noticed yesterday that my trades are profitable, but the people copying my trades are losing. I was puzzled for a long time and then studied the reasons.

I found the reason and will explain it here.

It was due to the small copying amount combined with the minimum trading amount limit, which caused the copying trades to be inconsistent with my trades. Therefore, when my margin utilization is only one-tenth or one-fifth, if the copying amount is too small, it would have already consumed all the margin. Even the other coins I opened later might fail to execute.

Let me give an example.

Suppose my margin is 1000u, and the person copying my trades has a margin of 100u.

I opened 0.005 BTC at 91800, which should have been 0.0005, but the actual minimum trading quantity for BTC is 0.002. So the person copying my trades actually opened 0.002.

The ratio is already inconsistent.

Then in the subsequent decline, I added 0.002, 0.002, and 0.01 at 90k, 89k, and 86k respectively, while the person copying my trades does not open positions according to the ratio. Every time, he opens the minimum amount of 0.002.

So at this point, my total opened amount is 0.019, with an average price of around 88800, while the copying amount is 0.008, almost reaching my position amount's average, and the average price is also inconsistent with mine.

My margin utilization might only be one-fifth, while the person copying my trades might have already utilized all of their margin.

At this time, when I reduce my position by half at 89000, I am making a profit, but the person copying my trades is losing. Then I continue to add positions at lower prices and reduce positions at higher prices, the same issue will occur.

In my actual operations, I will also be trading other coins, adding and reducing positions, etc.

During this process, I might be making money, while the person copying my trades is losing.

After thinking for a long time, the solution I came up with is

either I increase the size of my positions each time,

or the copying amounts should not be too small.

I will adjust myself and try not to trade BTC anymore.

I will open one coin each time and will try to open a bit more.

But not too much, because making a profit during a bear market requires looking at position management and leverage ratios.

But a better solution is that the copying amounts should not be too much less than mine. However, I cannot demand this. But here I have explained it, and I believe you will know how to decide for yourselves.
