AI copy trading

Not every AI workflow should place discretionary orders. Sometimes the better move is copy trading: allocate to strategies while agents monitor risk, or use agents only for research while copy handles execution.

No. Copy trading mirrors another strategy. An AI trading agent decides and executes itself via tools like MCP.
Can I combine both?
Yes. Many users copy core exposure and keep a smaller agent sleeve for experiments.
