I see many top accounts on Polymarket generating astonishing returns, which certainly catches the eye. But here’s a reality check—simply copying these big players’ operations could very well wipe out your capital.

Why? The trading logic, market insight, and risk control methods of experts are often not replicable. Blindly following the herd will always disadvantage latecomers.

A smarter approach is to select a few traders or bot accounts with relatively stable trading styles that do not rely on arbitrage mechanisms, and then consider manually copying their strategies. This can at least reduce risk and improve the chances of success. More real-world results will be shared later.

Listen, following big traders is really the fastest way to lose money. That's right, you can't see through the logic behind these experts at all. Have you tried copy trading? It's basically a suicidal move. Choosing stable accounts is the right way; don't be greedy.

Copying big traders? Ha, I just watch others get liquidated stories. Basically, it's a gambler's mentality—thinking that if others can make money, you can too. I agree with the stable strategy of robots, but manual copying? Maybe forget it.

Bro, you're right. Blindly copying trades is just giving away money. Following the big players usually ends up with you being the bagholder. I've already experienced this theory myself; you still have to figure things out on your own. If you have real test data, remember to share it. Right now, there are tutorials everywhere on how to cut the leeks.

The story of chain liquidations is played out every day; copying big whales is basically gambling with your life.

Honestly, blindly following the big trendsetters is just asking for trouble. I've seen too many of these things. Their logic for making money is something we simply can't learn. Instead of blindly copying, it's better to find stable bot accounts to follow. This approach is relatively clear-headed. But in practice, you still have to dive into the pit yourself; there's no shortcut.

Really, seeing those big players making money makes me want to copy, but this mindset is the most dangerous. Blindly copying others = giving away money, wake up everyone. Big players can make money because they have something you don't; don't think you can just copy their work. This argument is valid, but you need to understand their logic before commenting. Copying blindly is suicide; I've seen too many bagholders.
