The concept is quite simple but innovative: an experienced investor, who has a proven track-record, can choose to share his trading strategy with other users. Beginners (or experienced traders who are in need of a break) can then follow any trader that shares his strategy on the platform, simply by subscribing to that particular trader. Both the experienced trader and the user who subscribed to the trader are linked through an API. This way any sell or buy order the experienced trader makes is automatically copied to beginner's account, on the exchange of his choice. The main advantages of using an API service is that you remain in full control over your funds, private keys and choice of exchange (e.g. Bittrex, Binance, GDAX, Poloniex, Bitifinex).
