I think copy trading can be beneficial but I would really urge you to put in the time to really learn about the market before making any moves. Even the most skilled traders will caution you to copy trade them. Another hot tip is to make sure you take your heart out of investing. What this means is that you should invest in what you love, however, you should not use emotions to guide your trades. Just because a portfolio looks good to copy doesn't mean that it actually suits your needs.
