The act of social trading is currently not legislatively recognized as 'illegal' or 'legal', however, you should always check on a relative basis depending on your native residence. Laws are constantly changing, and if you ever have any doubts or concerns in regards to the legal outlook of social trading it's always best to consult with a lawyer, accountant, or equivalent. Additionally, social platforms like ZuluTrade are regulated and their job is to govern users registering from certain jurisdictions. In other words, exchanges, and platforms that are regulated/registered with governing bodies have an obligation to allow/disallow your participation in social trading. However, if they're not regulated or registered, they're not obligated; keep that in mind.
