Not sure about others, I am never drawn to copy trading. It's like in school. If we always copy other people's work, in the real world you will suffer.

I think the best approach is -

1) Learn all the fundamentals of FX (like going to learn ABC in preschool)
2) Learn basic strategies (Like in primary school)
3) Learn to apply in demo (Like in secondary school lab science)
4) Test diff strategies in demo - then decide to specialise in one or two strategy (Like in Uni when we begin specialise)
5) Then apply it in real account (When we finally get a job)

Then after 5), at least if you want to use copy trade service, you can know which is legit or which one is not.
You can know if some sifu is BS or not in their classes.

And if maybe you don't wanna do 1)-5) - probably just invest in lower-risk investments ie. robo investor or mutual fund.

I still think there are no short-cuts in life.
