How Copy Trading Bots Work
Copy trading bots monitor specific wallet addresses on the Polygon blockchain. When the target wallet executes a trade on Polymarket, your bot detects it and places the same trade in your wallet.
The bot handles everything automatically: detecting trades, calculating position sizes (proportional to the target), placing orders, and managing positions. You set it up once and it runs continuously.
Choosing Traders to Copy
Use Polymarket's leaderboard and PredictEngine's whale tracker to identify consistent performers. Look for wallets with: 100+ trades, positive P&L trend, diverse market activity, and win rates above 55%.
Avoid copying wallets with: one or two huge winning bets (lucky, not skilled), very low trade frequency, or declining recent performance. Past results do not guarantee future profits.
Configuring Your Copy Bot
In PredictEngine, select Copy Trade strategy and enter target wallet addresses. Set position sizing (e.g., 5% of the target's trade size), maximum per-trade amount, and market filters (e.g., only copy crypto trades).
Enable multi-wallet copying to follow 2-3 traders simultaneously. This diversifies your risk across different trading styles and market specializations.
Tracking Performance
PredictEngine's dashboard shows your copy trading P&L, broken down by copied wallet. Compare your returns to the original trader's returns. Small differences arise from execution timing and slippage.
Review performance weekly. If a copied trader's strategy deteriorates, stop copying and find a replacement. The market changes and yesterday's top trader may not be tomorrow's.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does the bot copy trades?
PredictEngine detects and copies trades within seconds. Execution speed depends on market liquidity.
Can I filter which trades to copy?
Yes. Filter by market category, minimum trade size, and maximum position. You control how much exposure you take.
What if the trader I copy stops trading?
The bot simply stops copying. Set up alerts for inactivity so you can find replacement traders promptly.
Do I need the same capital as the trader?
No. Position sizing is proportional. If the trader buys $1,000 and you set 5% sizing, your bot buys $50.
