### TOP 10 Crypto Copy Trading Platforms for Beginners in 2020

Let’s talk about jam. Imagine that you’re standing in the grocery shop and staring at 24 different jam jars on the shelf. Which one are you going to buy? Small or large jar? Strawberry or raspberry? Domestic or overseas production?

If you feel overwhelmed, it’s totally okay. At the moment, you’ve just participated in Jam Experiment, one of the most famous experiments in consumer psychology.

> [Psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper found](https://hbr.org/2006/06/more-isnt-always-better) that **consumers were 10 times more likely to purchase jam when the number of jams available was reduced from 24 to 6.** Less choice, more sales. More choice, fewer sales.

> Weird, huh?

> When beginners make a decision to enter the crypto market (not a supermarket) by copying deals of successful traders, they come across a huge amount of crypto copy trading platforms and get lost.

> So, the investment idea dies. It’s sad.

### What is Copy Trading?

![The picture which depicts the concept of copy trading.](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/proxy/1*FXBVYLmjTvwIIx5gpmDOUQ.png)<figcaption>Social trading = mirror trading = copy trading</figcaption>

Probably, you’re embarrassed by my talk. Social trading, mirror trading, copy trading — most of the time it’s the same stuff. Call it whatever you want. All you need is to catch the concept: you simply let someone else develop the trading strategy for you by directly copying the exact same deals they make. The best option is the automatic mode, but the manual one is also possible.

> Take a note: this article is dedicated to CRYPTO copying.

### Why is Copy Trading popular among newbie traders?

1. Copying experienced traders can be **an educational tool** for people who wish to learn how to trade on their own.
2. It is the easiest and most profitable **entry to the global market**  — no need to have much expertise.
3. Copy-trading works under **the rule of being in the same boat** : traders risk their own funds when providing trades for the copy.
4. If you copy the trades automatically, it’s a real **time saver**.

Social trading is becoming increasingly popular among crypto investors who want to start generating passive crypto income over time.

For newbies who are just starting their trading journey copy trading looks quite attractive. Everything is automatic, trading works on the background with buy and sell orders running 24/7.

And the same can be applied to the professional trader as well. If you simply don’t have the time to watch charts, it only makes sense to let someone else trade for you, and copy what they do.

That being said, we would still recommend you to never stop learning yourself and not to follow traders blindly. This way you don’t have to trust anyone else with your trading, and you will learn something no one can take away from you.

**P.S. If you find this article helpful, do share it. Let’s encourage more people to invest in crypto markets. Blockchain is the future.**
