π Copy Trade
Copy Trade allows you to copy the trades of any wallet on Solana trading in supported pools or through jupiter.
Introduction to Copy Trading
Copy trading is a feature that automates trading actions by mirroring the trades of experienced traders. This approach is useful for those looking to benefit from the expertise of seasoned traders, automating their own trading to replicate successful strategies.
Activating and Accessing Copy Trading
Switch to Advanced Mode: To access copy trading features, ensure the bot is set in Advanced Mode, which unlocks more sophisticated trading functionalities.
Accessing the Copy Trading Module: From the main menu, enter the copy trading module where you can view, manage, and monitor all copy trading activities.
Setting Up New Copy Trades
Adding a Trader:
Click 'New' to add a wallet whose trades you wish to copy.
Tagging and Identification: Assign a tag to the new wallet for easy identification, helping manage multiple strategies or traders.
Entering Wallet Address: Input the address of the trader you want to copy, ensuring it is known for valid trading activities and not associated with high-frequency trading bots or snipers, as these can involve tactics that are not replicable or advisable to follow.
Copy Trade Options:
Copy Sells: Opt to replicate the sell orders of the target wallet. When enabled, your account will mimic the sell orders proportionally, according to the percentage of holdings sold by the target wallet.
AutoSell Integration: Instead of just copying sell orders, consider integrating AutoSell settings to automate your selling based on your own predefined profit targets and risk thresholds. This allows for a more personalized trading strategy while still leveraging insights from the copied trades.
Transaction Parameters:
Set Buy and Sell Amounts: Define the amount of capital to allocate for copying the target walletβs buys and configure how sells should be executed.
Gas and Slippage: Adjust the gas fees to improve the timeliness of your copied trades and set slippage parameters to manage the price variation acceptable during trade execution. High gas might be necessary for quicker synchronization, especially when following very active traders.
Managing and Monitoring Copy Trades
Copy Trading Dashboard: This central hub lists all the wallets youβre currently copying, marked with real-time status indicators (Active in green, Paused in orange).
Pause/Resume Function: Use the 'Pause All' button to halt all copy trading activities temporarily, or manage individual wallets to pause or resume trading as needed.
Adjustments and Deletions: You can edit the settings of each copied wallet or remove them if their trading strategies no longer align with your goals.
Copy Trading Limitations
Be aware that not all trading strategies or wallet types are suitable for copying. Avoid trying to copy wallets known for sniping or using custom trading programs, as these strategies often involve manipulative tactics or require capabilities that are not supported by standard copy trading features.
FAQ and Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Common Issues: Address issues like excessive slippage or slow trade execution by adjusting the respective settings. Increase your gas settings for faster execution and modify slippage settings to better reflect market conditions and your risk tolerance.
