Copy trading whales: options and risks
Updated: 2026-10-07 · MarketRadar Whale
Copy trading means imitating a trader's trades. It comes in two forms: centralized platforms that display a trader's record, and following wallets directly on-chain.
Copy trading on exchanges
Usually a share of profit goes to the trader and your money is held by the platform; you must trust that platform's statistics.
Following a whale on-chain
The data comes from the blockchain and can be checked. You do not hand money to anyone; you only get informed.
Hidden costs
- Entry delay and slippage
- Fees
- The whale may be hedged
