I don't believe you can will the market up or down. Only to find great opportunities to invest. The asset classes we have is also limited so we have to be realistic as well.
The long term average return of stocks over the last 30 years (adjusted for inflation) was 6.8%. Buffett famously bet that the S&P will outperform most hedge funds less fees.
As the Bible says, he who has ears let them hear?

$200 or as long as you are serious, i.e. not looking for 100% returns every month/year.
-
Absolutely, but not all are placing their sizable net wealth on the platform. If so they are looking for high returns to achieve high copy amounts.
It is not an ideal alignment of goals.
I am looking after myself, you benefit from copying me.

Description text I consider myself a multi-strategy absolute returns trader. I go for all asset classes, allowing me the flexibility to, as Warren Buffett would say:
"I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over."
I make money based on 90% research on fundementals, 10% on technical analysis. Because i do not specialize in any one asset class, i will never make the most returns. But i also aim to have the least amount of losing years.
I go into a lot more detail in my course. (Coming soon i hope)goes here

I do not know your financial condition nor can I speak to any individual person but I do want to tell you what I do to REDUCE STRESS.#notfinancialadvice This is by no means tax efficient or anything like that, but helps with the mental game of investing. Many ups and downs, inconsistent returns etc
I personally divide my risk into:
i) 6 months expenses in savings / checking account ii) Property for living – either rent / buy – repayments are to added calculated in 1. Downpayment can be drawn from other baskets iii) Insurance – No investment linked
After that it is your investment portfolio
Barbell investment portfolio iv) Investment basket low (20%-80%) – bond ladder (1-4 year treasury bonds) v) Investment basket high (20%-80%) – eToro investments vi) Others – I don’t have this, but if it helps you sleep at night or there’s a really good opportunity.
That is it. If it doesn’t fall within these baskets. I ignore it.
How you adjust between iv, v & vi is your risk tolerance. I am currently around 50%, 50% between iv & v but working on being around 70% high risk and 30% bonds.
I refuse to add complexity simply because 1) I don't have time 2) there’s a misconception that if you work harder (day trade) in the financial markets, you can earn more. I have found this to be untrue.
This helps me sleep better at night as well.
If it doesn’t help, DON’T DO IT!

This is why the question, “is now a good time to copy” such a difficult question that almost everyone asks.
If we can split the copy into multiple investments, maybe 1-2 months apart.
If the market turns against us, we can average down. And if it goes up, it is still good, just not as good.
Prospect theory indicates that this is a better way to sleep better at night.
Please remember, the point of all this is to help you sleep at night, if it doesn’t help, DON’T DO IT!

As a general rule, yes.
If i have not closed it means my thesis has yet to play out to its full potential.
You may be unlucky and lose a bit here or there, but my trades are generally small and controlled.
-
I fundamentally believe in not market timing, so i size into trades. If my thesis is 20% risk portfolio, i will go in 10% at a time. If market moves in my favour then i am happy not to invest more.
Also there are alway opportunities, so i like to ensure i have cash to invest.
-
I have developed a system that is designed to over the next 10-20 years will outperform most investors.
eToro is proving my thesis.

As i am very involved in the Crypto space, i saw a very very outsized opportunity for Crypto, so i bought in.
The market was bad in the time.
A few bad trades of course weighed me down.
It took 2 years for the thesis to develop hence 2020-2021 was a stellar year.
