# Copy Trading

> Automatically mirror the buy and sell behavior of another Polymarket wallet

## 🎯 NEW - Pro Mode

Copy trade wallets faster than on any other Polymarket bot.

* Pro mode ingests data \~3-5 seconds before it confirms onchain
* Copy trade orders place immediately
* Be the first in line to copy top wallets

To turn on Pro mode, head to the Onsight bot **Home** and tap to switch from Standard to Pro.

## Finding a Wallet

<Steps>
  <Step title="Launch Onsight">
    Open the Onsight bot in Telegram and click Start or use /start
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Copy Trade">
    From the home page, click **Copy Trade**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find a Wallet to Copy">
    You can find a wallet to copy in one of two ways:

    1. **Find a Wallet** - search any wallet address
    2. **Top Traders** - browse a curated list of top Polymarket wallets
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Eligibility & Requirements

* **Minimum balance:** \$2.00 tradable balance required to activate copy trading
* **Minimum trade size:** \$2.00
  * Any calculated trade below \$2 will default up to \$2

## Buy & Sell Behavior

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Buy Orders">
    #### Buy Orders

    When a copied trader places a buy:

    1. The system calculates your buy size based on your custom configurations
    2. If set, daily spend limits are enforced
    3. The order is executed as either a **market** or **limit** order depending on your settings
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Sell Orders">
    #### Sell Orders

    When the copied trader sells:

    * You sell the **same percentage** of your position
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## User Configurations (Per Copied Wallet)

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Buy Modes">
    Choose how your buy size is calculated:

    * **Percentage (%)** – Copy a percentage of the trader’s buy size
    * **Fixed Dollar (\$)** – Copy a fixed dollar amount per trade

    If the calculated value exceeds your balance, the system uses your available balance instead.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Buy Amount">
    Defines *how much* of each trade you copy.

    * % mode: 1% → 100%+
      * Default: 100%
    * \$ mode: Any value ≥ \$2
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Min / Max Value Per Trade">
    If using % mode, used to bound individual trades.

    * **Minimum Value:**
      * The smallest individual trade you will place
      * If calculated value is below this, trade defaults to \$2
    * **Maximum Value:**
      * The largest individual trade you will place
      * Calculated value is capped by:
        * Remaining daily spend (if set)
        * Available tradable balance
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Max Spend Per Day">
    * Caps **total buy volume** within a rolling 24-hour window (00:00 UTC reset)
    * Once reached, **all buy trades fail** until reset
    * Selling positions **restores** available daily spend
      * Example: Sell \$10 → daily allowance increases by \$10
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Buy Size Trigger">
    Prevents copying very small trades.

    * Only copy trades where the **original trader’s buy size** exceeds this threshold
    * Default: 0 (copy all qualifying trades)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Order Type">
    * **Market Order:**
      * Executes immediately at best available price
      * Subject to the platform’s **5% slippage protection cap**
    * **Limit Order:**
      * Limit orders allow you to control execution price more tightly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Price Offset (Limit Order)">
    Defines how far from the copied trader’s execution price your limit order may deviate.

    * Expressed as a **± percentage**
    * Positive offsets: tolerate paying slightly more to improve fill probability
    * Negative offsets: aim for better price, but risk non-execution
    * Example:
      * Price Offset: `+0.02`
      * Your limit order allows execution within **+2%** of the copied trader's price

    ##### **Allowed Range**

    * -0.99 to 0.99
      * The further from 0.00 the more price variation allowed

    ##### **Example Range Behavior**

    * +0.01 to +0.02 - conservative, less trades occur
    * +0.03 to +0.05 - slightly less conservative, more trades occur
    * +0.00 or negative - only buy at the same price or better than the copied trader
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Custom Slippage">
    Slippage is the  difference between expected execution price and actual execution price.

    Never use slippage to target an entry. Control entry prices with Limit Order mode and Price Offsets.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Slippage & Safety Protections

* Slippage is the difference between:
  * The expected execution price
  * The actual price at which the trade fills
* To protect user funds:
  * **Maximum slippage is capped at 10%**
  * Any trade exceeding this threshold is automatically blocked
  * Applies to both market and limit-based copy trades

## Order Transparency & Notifications

* All copy trades appear in **Order History** alongside manual trades
* Each entry clearly indicates:
  * Copy trade vs self trade
  * Success or failure
  * Failure reason
* Active limit orders appear in the **Orders** view
* Alerts are sent every 15 minutes summarizing your recent copy trady activity
