What is the difference between copy trading and sniping?

Copy trading mirrors another wallet's trades after they happen. Sniping buys a new token in the first moments of its launch.

Which is least risky?

None is low risk. Signals leave the decision to you, but acting late or on noise can still lose money.

Trojan notes wallets that buy through custom programs cannot be copied, and GMGN pauses a task after 3 failed trades. See how to copy trade.

Trojan says snipe slippage usually needs to be higher because prices move quickly. High slippage is how people get sandwiched, see sniper settings.

All three carry high risk. Compare copy trading tools and snipers.
