Copy Trading Trend Gains Momentum: eToro and Dub App Lead the WayA new investment trend is sweeping the U.S., enabling everyday investors to automatically replicate the trades of others. Known as copy trading or mirror trading, this practice is being adopted by several brokerage firms, including eToro and the Dub app.eToro, a crypto-first platform, is introducing its copy trading feature to American users, with its founder, Johnathan Assia, citing it as a key growth driver. The Dub app, launched this year, allows users to mirror portfolios based on public filings from politicians and celebrities.This copy and paste investing concept isnt new, but modern technology and social networks are giving it a fresh twist. While some traders prefer to keep their strategies private, many are openly sharing their insights and trades.eToro reports that around one third of its nearly four million users utilize their copy trading product. Users can select traders, view their profiles, and twelve-month returns, which vary greatly. For instance, @Luistoalana, a popular eToro user, has a portfolio heavily invested in stocks like Palantir and Occidental Petroleum.However, past performance does not guarantee future results. While some traders may show significant returns, active managers historically struggle to consistently outperform the market. Investors should proceed with caution and understand the risks involved in this new approach.
