will you still use EA?
Depends what the EA is doing. Copy trading solves execution, but an EA can still be useful for low-spread brokers like HFM when the actual strategy logic, risk sizing and exits are automated rather than just mirroring somebody else's trades. For me the bigger question would be which one gives more transparent and consistent risk control
Mainly, if you follow other's strategy in real time, you ned a copier,
If you follow signal alerts from other platform, you need a copierIf you follow Telegram trades, you need a copier.In a nutshell, the trade copier helps you avoid manual error qwhile copying other's / signal provider's strategies and help in automatic order placement without any error and slippage.
Depends what you need automated. A copier is fine if the whole job is mirroring someone else’s entries, but an EA makes more sense when position sizing, filters, exits and risk logic are part of the system too. I’d care more about how consistent the risk control is than whether it’s called an EA or copier
