## Summary

This video explains how to make money through copy trading on Bybit, covering the basics of copy trading, how to select a master trader, and step-by-step instructions for setting up both smart and advanced copy trading modes. The presenter emphasizes the importance of analyzing a trader's performance metrics and managing risk.

### Key Points

- **What is Copy Trading** [00:01] — Copy trading allows beginners to automatically copy the trades of experienced traders (master traders). You do not give them your money; your account mirrors their trades. When they profit, you profit; when they lose, you lose.
- **Master Trader Compensation** [01:27] — Master traders earn a percentage (e.g., 10-20%) of the profits they generate for their followers. For example, if a trader makes you $100 and charges 12%, they keep $12 and you keep $88.
- **Getting Started on Bybit** [03:06] — To start copy trading on Bybit, sign up using the link in the description, fund your account (bonus up to $330,000 depending on deposit), then navigate to the copy trading section.
- **Selecting a Master Trader** [04:43] — Bybit categorizes traders by ROI, profit for followers, lowest drawdown, etc. The presenter recommends checking a trader's historical data, win rate, drawdown, and number of followers before copying.
- **Analyzing a Trader's Performance** [07:03] — Example trader 'real world' has 1,000 followers, 36.6% ROI in 3 days, AUM of $27.7K, win rate 98.18% (7 days), average profit per trade $5, average holding time 3 days, and focuses on Bitcoin.
- **Copying a Trader (Smart Copy)** [11:30] — Smart copy mode is recommended for beginners. You set the amount to allocate (e.g., $200), a stop-loss (e.g., $50 or 20%), and enable copy guard for optimal entry timing. You can also set advanced limits like max position per contract.
- **Advanced Copy Mode** [19:24] — Advanced mode allows setting fixed margin per trade, custom leverage (e.g., 4x), and per-pair leverage. You can also set take profit and stop loss ratios per trade.
- **Monitoring and Adjusting** [22:00] — After copying, monitor the trader's performance. You can invest more if profitable or unfollow if losing. Unfollow options include exiting immediately at market price or waiting until positions close.

### Conclusion

Copy trading on Bybit is a viable way for beginners to profit by mirroring experienced traders. Success depends on careful trader selection, risk management, and ongoing monitoring.

you signal you copy no with a click of a button your account is just copying exactly what that person's account is doing or copying to the degree or how
you make your settings to be so if you're a beginner you don't know how to you don't know about all those things but you want to start making money in trading then you can do copy trading so
knows how to trade already and has been trading and has been making profit in trading you can look at the person's pass record to see if he has been making money or not you can then um decide to say I'm going to copy this person's
trade right you just copy the person's trade whatever the person makes in his account when he makes profits you make profits when he makes a loss you make a loss that is copy trading if I'm copying a Master Trader trade what is in for the
Master Trader it's money profit what is in for the Trader is the amount he gets to make so some Traders will charge you as maybe 20% or
Traders will charge you as maybe 20% or 12% or 15% or 10% of whatever money they make for you so let's say I'm copying a Trader I make $100 in a trade and the trader is taking 12% so the trader gets to take
to take $12 and I'll keep the remaining eight $12 and I'll keep the remaining eight $88 that is copy trading a Master Trader may know how to trade but maybe he has only $1,000 to trade with right so
because he's having like a lot of people copying his trade and he's making say copying his trade and he's making say 12% or 20% or 15% dep pending from all the profits he makes for them then it's making good money that is how Master
Traders make money so if you're good at trading and you're making profits using your little Capital you have you can apply to become a Master Trader so that other people can copy your trade and whenever you make profit for them
you take part of their profit now it is not part of their total Capital but just part of their profit when you make a loss you don't earn anything so it's
just like you trading with leverage so that is copy trading if you're beginner that is how you start if you're Master Trader you know how to trade that is how Trader you know how to trade that is how you make extra profit for yourself now
you make extra profit for yourself now how do we start copy trading there are several platforms and they all have a different ways to copy trades on them but the one I'll be talking about today is buyit how do you copy tra on buyit
you must know how to conduct the fundamentals and Analysis to choose a fundamentals and Analysis to choose a Trader and how to properly copy . Trad if you don't have a buy with account what you do is this you go to the

what you do next is to come here and click on copy trading all right so I'm going to explain this if you check at the top right corner it says my trades so these are all the trades you are copying you can see for this account I'm
not copying any trade I want to show you guys from scratch now you can join as a Master Trader so if you are a good Trader and you want to make money by
sharing your trades for other persons to copy then you can click here to join as a Master Trader you can click here to see all the master Traders now what bybit did that I like is that they kind of put all these Traders into categories
so if you look at the top you can see top Trader by Roi return on investments top Trader by Roi return on investments you can see that this Trader has
4 2.85 this one 11 and and and so on then these are Traders with the highest profit for its followers you have profit for its followers you have Traders with the lowest draw down so you
can see that this Trader has an rri for the past 30 days of 101% which is pretty good and a draw down of 10.12 the draw down means that his
account for the past 30 days has not gone down by more than gone down by more than 10.12% but but it has gone up by 10.12% but but it has gone up by 101% which is pretty good okay can you
101% which is pretty good okay can you can see top intad day Traders and so on now look at something if you look at these Traders um like this guy round fet these Traders um like this guy round fet that has um he just have 72 U flows mean
it's pretty new and 700% AUM is 69 so it means that the total amount he's trading with for his Traders is just
$690 he is pretty new he's been trading for just the past 19 days so I don't know how we perform because there's not enough historical data from just um 19
days so I might not want to copy him if you want to take that risk then go ahead now what I want to do is to expand on a particular Trader let's look at real world he has 1,000 persons following him and he his um Roi for the past 3 days is
and he his um Roi for the past 3 days is 36.6 n if you look at his AUM which is the amount he's trading with is $27.7 1,000 right that is the amount he's trading with and the cumulative amount
that of all those who are copying his trades it means that there actually high trades it means that there actually high confidence in his um trading strategies so I'm going to click on this on him to get more information so his 7 Days
ranking is 340 uh followers of course 1,000 over 1,000 he's been trading for the past um 81 days and bybit is ranking him silver silver and VIP 2 and he gives an
instruction to his cop on how to copy his trade mind you we we get to copying this trade and I will show you how to copy the treat but what we're doing now is conducting some fundamentals on whether we should copy this or not so
total asset is trading with is 12,000 right profit sharing ratio is 12% so if he makes you $100 he's taking $12 and you are taking
$88 that's what the profit fure is saying and overview you can see a lot of saying and overview you can see a lot of data for the past 7 days he has made 99.5% maximum drw down 18.43% for the past 7 days you can click on this to
actually increase it say 30 days 36. 68% that is his Roi for the past 30 36. 68% that is his Roi for the past 30 days and maximum drop down is still 18.43% this guy let me take it back to seven days this guy he has made 17,0
seven days this guy he has made 17,0 $760 for his followers and he has made um $644 for himself that is his profit okay $644 for himself that is his profit okay more statistics 2,400 48 followers has
followed this guys sole copy and you know stop copying and all that so about 2,448 persons in total have copied him his winning rate for the past 7 days is 98.18% if you look at his winning rate for the past 90 days even though he has
been trading for the past 81 days his win rate for the past 90 days is or 81 days in this case is 93.02% so it's a pretty good Trader total number of pretty good Trader total number of Trades 1,197 win ,13 and losing trade 58
trades which is pretty good now his average profit and loss per tra so if you put all his winning traits and all his losing traits and you look at the
profits he makes in average right it is $5 per trade which is pretty good average position holding time this is the average time he holds a particular
trade so this is 1156 minutes which is is about 3 days so his trade on average lasts for about 3 days and he makes about 68 trades per week and this is the
time he last traded now if you go down further you can see more like a graphical representation of all these things we've talked about including the Bitcoin which is actually great it's good to it's more like he he just
focused on bitcoin and he's doing pretty good at it so this is actually a pretty good Trader to copy if you look at current open position you can click here current open position you can click here to see um the trades that are ongoing
right you can see some of them most of them are in negative but of course when they turn positive he closes his trade you can also see his P copy Trad so these are the trades he has closed you can see that almost all of them are in
profit even though they are just by a very little percentage then if you click on followers you you will see there his followers the top the followers by the amount he has made them this follower
has been following this guy for the past 7 days and he has earned $2,608 from just copying his trades this other guy um he has been coping the tra
earned 1,493 traits and so on so he can be copied now if I want to copy this particular guy word I cannot copy him
because he's full and there are 223 other person that have expressed other person that have expressed interest in copying his trades so if I click on this I am now in the weight list so that if someone stops copying
his trade I'll be notified so that I can also go ahead and start copying his trade so for us to start copying trade we just have to look for a Trader with very good statistics now what I like to do to stay positive because because you
can copy a Trader who is making profits can copy a Trader who is making profits but it has a very um his drop down maybe but it has a very um his drop down maybe too much that your account can become
zero while his own goes positive later so you have to try to copy a Trader that so you have to try to copy a Trader that doesn't have a very steep drop down so what I like to do is to go to Traders with the lowest drw down right and see
with the lowest drw down right and see who I can find there to copy so this guy R Fe if I click on him he's been here for just 19 days I don't want to copy it straight because he just pretty new right I'm looking for a Trader that he
been there for some time I can actually click on more here then this miracle I've actually look at this Trader right he's been there for 119 days he has um
not much persons are copy him just 85 persons out of 1,000 and but his track record is pretty is pretty good so um he has made
7,7 um4 for his followers he has made $638 right maximum drop down is really really low so he's a conservative Trader
and if you check more um details he makes about seven trades a week or six makes about seven trades a week or six TR a week and he makes about $3 on average with each of a stade so I can go
ahead and copy this Trader by clicking on follow here all right now this is the stage I start copying this guy there are two ways to copy if you look at the top right corner here you have Smart copy I can either use Smart copy or I use
can either use Smart copy or I use Advanced copy mode smart copy if you newb buy bit is advising that you use this Trader so here you let Master Traders manage your portfolio risk with fixed ratio and optimized entry timing
recommended for Traders new to copy trading if you know what you're doing your are experien with these you can use the advanced mode you set a fixed order the advanced mode you set a fixed order cost for each trade not recommended for
Traders need to copy trading let's do the both of them so we'll start with the first one with smart copy and we'll see how it works then we go to Advanced copy mode and we also see how it works so I'm going to click on conf from here so what
I would do here is to just say um phone to copy so I can just say Okay um I have $455 in this account so what I would do I can say okay you know what I'm giving I can say okay you know what I'm giving you $200 to you know trade for me with
right mind you I'm not handing it over I'm just saying you have access to you I'm just saying you have access to you know trade with $200 on my account okay know trade with $200 on my account okay then copy stop loss so what this one is
saying is this I can set this as a percentage or I can set it by USD as a percentage or I can set it by USD so what is saying is this if I enter say um $50 here it means that if this miracle this
Master Trader is having a losing streak right and my right and my $200 goes down by $50 in other words it's now $150 I have lost $50 stop copying this
master Traders close on my position and stop copying him I can also do this by stop copying him I can also do this by percentage so if I say um say um say 20% just saying this $200 if I lose $40
other words it's a way for me to protect my Capital now this buy bit copy guard is just saying that if this Master
Trader takes a trade enter his trade or copy him at the optimum time or the copy him at the optimum time or the optimal time so don't just copy his trade but wait for the best time to enter that particular trade I can choose
to turn it off if I don't want that to happen but um by is saying I'm a way of the race and agree to follow Master Trader trads immediately so byb is more like using intelligence to more like copy your the Master Trader at the best
copy your the Master Trader at the best time so I'll leave that on I can agree and copy this particular Trader or I can decide to click on advaned setting and make some settings myself so here it's more like I want to you know determine
some things maximum position per per contract for this if I don't set this contract for this if I don't set this Advanced setting um The Master Trader knows how to handle this but I can determine the amount I want to be used
to enter each trade okay I can justo say for each trade don't copy each trade with more than $10 right I can say um don't trade with $10 right I can say um don't trade with more than $60 per day I can also set my
more than $60 per day I can also set my take profit ratio per order so I can leave it for the Master Trader to you know set take profit and and stop loss know set take profit and and stop loss but if I want that if this Master Trader
has made like 40% then you know close the trade in profit I can also set my stop- loss for trade so if the trade is in the negative by say um 20% you know close my trade or I can
just leave it and let the Master Trader just do what he wants to do do the take profit for me do the stop loss for me according to his own settings then slipage I can also leave it I think with this slipage if I'm using buybit copy
guard it actually help me to minimize my slipage because it's it's trying to enter the trade where I won't have to um pay more right I pay U the lowest fee
when entering a trade then if I click when entering a trade then if I click here I can also choose the coins I want here I can also choose the coins I want him to trade for me right if say I don't
want him to trade blood I don't want to go into the blood trade I can check out some of this trade say I want to only copy his um BTC Trad I can close all these other ones personally I don't like Traders trading everything in the market
I believe a good Trader would just focus on some I'm not saying it's not a on some I'm not saying it's not a standard but most great Trad I see just you know focus on BTC or ethereum and just make the most of it but the fact
mean that the Master Trader is going to trade all of them right he's just free to trade what he want to trade but if I don't want to copy any of these um other don't want to copy any of these um other Trad I can choose to just um uncheck
them that is what this is saying so if all this is good right I can then go all this is good right I can then go ahead and click on copy now now I told have the advanced copy trading let's look for another another Trader and use
Advanced copy trading strategy so I want to check this guy out okay this guy is trading for the past 30 days his Roi has gone by $18 and his profit for this past 30 days is $39 total asset is
$3,000 and he has made $1,031 for his followers maimum draw down is $4 say I want to copy this Trader and click on follow right the next thing I'll change follow right the next thing I'll change this mat copy to Advanced copy mode and
this mat copy to Advanced copy mode and click on confirm so here what I do I have $255 left let's say I still want to give $255 left let's say I still want to give him $200 right and I can still do the
same thing by entering so okay I don't want to lose one if I lose $50 in this trade please close this I click on next fix margin how much should I enter each trade with so fixed margin I can enter between $10 to
$22,000 so this is the amount I enter each trade with all right um I can choose to follow Traders leverage right or I can enter my own
leverage now I don't want to use more than um let me keep it at 4 4X now I can I can actually also do custom leverage in other words for each crypto pair for
in other words for each crypto pair for each crypto pair I am going to set my each crypto pair I am going to set my own leverage all right but for this one it more like it cuts across all the PIR I'm trading or I'm copying so I'm going
more than 4X leverage now if you know how to calculate position size it will help you to better set up this watch out for the video where I talk about
for the video where I talk about position sizing all right so again just like the other thing we did right I can just choose to go ahead and agree to just choose to go ahead and agree to this and copy this trade or I click on
advaned setting where I put up more setting all right so here I can enter setting all right so here I can enter you know my mum position per contract maum daily position limit take profit ratio stop- loss and all that and all
that or I can just leave it that the way it is and just allow the trader to you know dictate what happens and I go ahead and click on copy tra now once I've done this you can see that if I go back to the homepage uh or if I go back to the
the homepage uh or if I go back to the copy trading section copy trading and copy trading section copy trading and click on my trades I will see all the all the Traders I am copying by clicking on Master Traders right it has not
started trading because they have not started trading once they start trading I will be seeing the effect of this on my account now it is important that you actually observe this Traer to see how well they are doing because some will do
pretty well some will do pretty bad then you should go ahead and keep on adjusting your setting you look at the trader look at the kind of profit he making then keep on adjusting your setting then when a Trader has has given
you a proper track record he's making consistent profit for you then you can can actually come to this trailer for example and click on invest more because
I've given $200 I can choose see invest another $55 right you can keep on giving the trader more money if the trader is losing you money you want to stop cop that Trader click on the trader and you
click on unfollow so there are two ways to unfollow you can exit immediately at to unfollow you can exit immediately at the current market price or you continue copying the trader supposing you in position right you continue copying the
trader until the positions are closed then it will actually it so I can click on this so I'm not following any trade anyway so from what has happened here I
have stopped copying this Trader so this is how you copy a Trader again you can different amounts and see the one that performs best this you kind of know a
Traer that performs best over a long period of time and you keep on tweaking your settings once you get the right settings then you can give the trader my other account I've been copy a Trader
