The number of copy traders (followers) earning a net profit in the third quarter this year on FOLLOWME, a social trading platform from China, has increased by nearly 9 percentage points compared to the first half of the year, reaching 48.4%.
This also represents the highest profit–to-loss ratio among the three types of traders: copy traders, traders (signal providers) and individual traders.
Among traders, profitable accounts accounted for 31.1% while the loss-making accounts accounted for 68.9%. Compared with the first half of the year, the ratio of profitable accounts has increased by nearly 10%.
On the other hand, under the independent traders’ category, the profitable accounts accounted for only 25.1%, which was significantly lower than traders.

Key Takeaway: With the on-going volatile environment, we highly recommend individual traders out there to have a risk management strategy in place and also make use of our COPYTRADE feature to enjoy a fruitful trading experience with the experienced traders and other copy traders.
Top 20 Brokers’ Profitable Accounts Improved Despite Lower Signups
In this quarter, the forex industry continued to be positively affected by COVID-19. The average percentage of profitable trading accounts of active Brokers in the FOLLOWME community was 25.5%, an increase of 3% points from the first half of the year.
This is despite the fact that the average number of trading accounts has decreased by 24.1% to 322 compared with the first half of the year.
A total of 233 Brokers were active in the FOLLOWME community, with approximately 15,000 active accounts and 4.83 million orders.

In the latest quarter, GKFX had the highest ratio of profitable accounts, at 41.8%, followed by FBS and Swissquote, at 38.3% and 34.6% respectively.
On another note, although IC Markets replaced the regulator in the third quarter, IC Markets has become the most popular trader among the new users on FOLLOWME Trading Community due to its low spreads.
It shows that when a new user chooses a Broker, the platform spread is a very important factor.
