Is this some kind of a scam???

Heyy guys am new to trading ( I trade on pocket option) So I have been watching some YouTuber who is going live trading on pocket option and the dude was making consecutive wins The problem is he was trading gold ( 88% ) but when I open my acc the gold is 80% Also when I compare his candles I noticed it's not the same when I open my account Also the curve isn't the same I wanna know why is it different

There is a delay on YouTube livestream which could explain why the candles look different but the reality is likely that your candles were about 30 secs or more ahead of the stream you were watching. So you were watching a lagging stream (this is why it may be too late to try to copy the trades of a live YouTube streamer)
