Absolutely - you can get rich by trading social trading, but you'll need to assess what the realistic possibilities are. It's definitely possible; the following example demonstrates someone making a large profit off of social trading: The user copies a trader that has shown above average and consistent profit in their trades, and as a result, allocates $10,000 on ZuluTrade to mimic their investments. Over the course of a month, the trader knocks it out of the park, and returns over 200% for their portfolio; since you're latched onto their investor profile, (Minus fees) you've also just made 200% on your investment. As a result, you've made $20,000 profit. The key here is to relate your account size. Keep in mind, this is not always the case, and there is no sure bet that you'll continue to generate profit.
