Mirror Trading

A trading strategy where an investor automatically copies the trades of experienced or successful traders in real-time. Popularized by social trading platforms, mirror trading allows beginners to replicate the strategies of professionals without manually executing each trade.

Example

A novice trader used mirror trading on eToro to automatically copy a top-ranked forex trader's positions, including their exact entry prices, stop losses, and position sizes.
