Since I can’t share links to my social media, I’ll occasionally post updates for copiers here.

A bit about my copy trading:
As mentioned in my profile, this is algo-trading. The program, which I built myself and have been improving for years, does the trading. It’s hosted on a server in Tokyo to be closer to the exchanges. The program reacts to changes in milliseconds. During delisting, it sells assets in seconds. In this sense, humans can’t compete with programs. No trader can monitor hundreds of trading pairs and react in milliseconds. Programs don’t feel emotions and execute tasks coldly. I like all of this.

For some reason, gate.io doesn’t copy all trades from my account; it seems not all futures pairs are available for copy trading. Because of this, there’s a discrepancy between my futures account and the actual results for copiers. This difference can be positive or negative.

I don’t use leverage. Over the years, I’ve realized that slow and predictable growth is better than constant sharp account swings. With 3x leverage, I occasionally faced liquidations. With 2x leverage, there were no liquidations, but I didn’t like the sharp account fluctuations. For me, even 10% per month is great profit. My strategy aims for an average of 20% per month, which is even better. 10% per month is ~213% per year, and 20% is ~800% per year (with compound interest). Some months can reach nearly 100%, but there are occasionally losing months, like -10%, for example.

On gate.io, I keep a small balance. Most of my funds are on another exchange, where profitability is higher. On that exchange, my program uses cross margin and futures, while on gate.io, it’s only futures.

Profit won’t come every day; there are periods of drawdown. I’ve had drawdowns lasting 1-2 months. You need to get used to this mode. Again, it’s better to trade without leverage—slow and boring—than to constantly stress with leverage.

Honestly, I’m not thrilled that I only get 10% of your profits, but I’ve invested as much as I can in algo-trading without exceeding my risk limits. I hope copy trading will help me grow my balance to a significant amount, after which I’ll disable copy trading and continue working with my own funds.
