Hey everyone,
I’ve recently come across the term “social trading” and wanted to understand it better. From what I gather, it involves following or copying other traders’ strategies — but how exactly does it work in real-time?
Some questions I have:
- How is social trading different from traditional trading?
- Is it beginner-friendly?
- What are the pros and cons?
- Any recommended copy trading platforms you’ve used personally?
Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences.
i know one famous investor Mr.Pabrai who openly says he copies what Mr.Warren Buffet does. Wonder if this is social investing…
Yes, what Mohnish Pabrai does is a form of social investing in spirit. He studies Warren Buffett’s moves and openly clones his strategies — just like how copy trading platforms let users mirror top traders automatically.
The key difference is: Pabrai does it manually with deep research, while copy trading makes it easier for beginners to follow pros in real time.
