# Copytrade Settings

### Copy Trade Modes

<figure><img src="/files/SQQXlGNCd8jHhm1h9RiF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can customize how your account mirrors the target wallet using two distinct modes:

<table><thead><tr><th width="131.015625">Mode</th><th>How It Works</th><th>Example</th><th>Best For</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Mode A: By Percentage</td><td>Mirrors a specific percentage (1-100%) of the target wallet's trade size.</td><td>Target buys $1,000. You set 10%. You buy $100.</td><td>Scaling with the conviction level of the target trader. Larger bets from the target = larger bets from you.</td></tr><tr><td>Mode B: Fixed Amount</td><td>Executes a flat dollar amount for every trade the target makes, regardless of their size. Minimum $1.</td><td>Target buys $5,000. You set $50. You buy $50.</td><td>Strict bankroll management and consistent position sizing regardless of target behavior.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### Trade Filters

Fine-tune your copy trading setup with these additional controls:

<table><thead><tr><th width="229.53125">Parameter</th><th width="390.234375">Description</th><th>Available In</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Max Trade Amount</td><td>Set a maximum cap per trade when using Percentage mode. Prevents oversized positions if the target makes an unusually large bet.</td><td>Mode A only</td></tr><tr><td>Min Trade Amount</td><td>Set a minimum threshold per trade. Ignores insignificant "dust" trades below this amount.</td><td>Mode A only</td></tr><tr><td>Max Trader Amount Filter</td><td>Only copy trades where the target's trade size is below this threshold.</td><td>Both modes</td></tr><tr><td>Min Trader Amount Filter</td><td>Only copy trades where the target's trade size is above this threshold.</td><td>Both modes</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Market Filters

<figure><img src="/files/VzYO1i5d8v8S3lCy5nGZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In both modes, you can refine which trades are copied from a target wallet using the following filter parameters:

* **Category Filter**: Include or exclude trades based on market category (e.g., Politics, Sports, Crypto). This allows you to copy only the trades that align with your interests or expertise.
* **Market Volume**: Set a minimum and/or maximum volume threshold to copy trades only from markets within a specific activity range.
* **Market Holders**: Set a minimum and/or maximum holder count to copy trades only from markets with a certain level of participation.

### Exit Strategies

<figure><img src="/files/FpjOWYNHBnW6cbYd9YW6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You have two options for managing how your positions are closed:

#### Auto-Mirror Sell

Toggle this **ON** to automatically sell your position when the target wallet sells theirs. If they sell 50% of their position, you sell 50% of yours. This mirrors their exact exit strategy.

#### Custom TP/SL (Take Profit / Stop Loss)

Alternatively, set your own automated exit conditions independent of the target wallet's actions. Define a Take Profit price to lock in gains and a Stop Loss price to limit downside.

#### Auto-Redeem at Resolution

When a market resolves, the platform automatically redeems your winning shares and credits USDC to your wallet balance. No manual action is required.

### Managing Your Copy Trades

Once active, you can manage all your copy trading configurations from the **COPY** tab:

* **View Active Copies:** See all wallets you are currently copying, with status indicators (active/paused).
* **Edit Settings:** Click on any active copy trade to modify the mode, amounts, filters, or exit strategy.
* **Pause/Resume:** Temporarily pause a copy trade without deleting the configuration.
* **Remove:** Permanently delete a copy trade setup.

**Tips for Successful Copy Trading:**

1. **Research your targets.** Use the WALLETS tab and SIGNALS page to evaluate a trader's historical win rate, P\&L, and consistency before copying them.
2. **Start small.** Begin with a small fixed amount or low percentage to test a target wallet's performance before scaling up.
3. **Diversify.** Copy multiple wallets across different market categories to spread risk.
4. **Monitor regularly.** Check your copy trade performance via /mycopytrades or the COPY tab and remove underperforming targets.
5. **Set exit limits.** Always use either Auto-Mirror Sell or custom TP/SL to protect against unexpected losses.
