Safety has two parts
Who holds your money and what can happen while copying are different questions. Your broker holds the money. Copy Trading is the part that can make the account go up or down.
Both facts matter at the same time: your broker holds the funds, and Copy Trading can still lose money.
What to protect
- Keep broker login details out of messages.
- Use the portal to check whether your broker is connected and whether Copy Trading is on, paused, or off.
- Use the broker for deposits and withdrawals.
- Ask Currents before sharing anything that feels sensitive. We would rather slow the setup down than have you guess.
Does own-account custody mean risk-free?
No. It only means the funds stay with your broker. Copy Trading still carries risk.
