Think a trader is wrong? Counter trading means betting against them.
Counter mode is unavailable right now. It never placed the opposite bet: a counter copy places no trades. New copies cannot turn it on. If one of your copies has it on, edit the copy and turn Counter-trade off to copy that trader normally, or stop the copy.
What is Counter Trading?
| Mode | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Copy | Trader buys YES → You buy YES |
| Counter | Trader buys YES → You buy NO |
Counter = betting the opposite of what the trader bets.
When to Counter Trade
| Scenario | Why Counter |
|---|---|
| Trader on losing streak | Their luck may continue being bad |
| Contrarian strategy | Fade the crowd |
| You disagree fundamentally | Use their activity as a signal |
When NOT to Counter
| Scenario | Why Not |
|---|---|
| Trader has >60% win rate | They're usually right |
| You don't understand the market | Random gambling |
| Just to "be different" | Not a strategy |
Counter Trading Math
If a trader has 40% win rate (60% lose rate):
| Your Mode | Your Effective Win Rate |
|---|---|
| Copy | 40% (you lose with them) |
| Counter | 60% (you win when they lose) |
Best Candidates to Counter
| Criteria | Good for Counter |
|---|---|
| Win rate <45% | Yes |
| Recent losing streak | Yes |
| Over-confident sizing | Maybe |
| High volume, low accuracy | Yes |
Counter Trading Tips
- Track performance first - Counter only proven losers
