Comparison
Copy trading vs bot trading
Both approaches automate trading, but they solve different problems. Copy trading follows a master trader; bot trading usually requires configuring a strategy yourself.
Copy trading is easier to start
A follower can connect through the exchange interface and rely on the master strategy. This is useful when you do not want to configure signals, grids or API keys.
Bots offer more configuration
A trading bot can be flexible, but it requires understanding parameters, market regimes and failure modes.
Risk exists in both
Automation does not guarantee profit. Whether you copy a trader or run a bot, risk management and monitoring remain necessary.
