Copy trading lets you automatically mirror the trades of any Solana wallet. Track up to 20 wallets and receive alerts, auto-buy, and even auto-sell when the tracked wallet sells.

## Getting Started

### Adding a Wallet

1. Use the `/copy` command or go to **Settings → Signal Preferences → Copy Trading**
2. Tap **➕ Add Wallet**
3. Paste the Solana wallet address you want to track
4. Enter a label (e.g., "Smart Money Whale") — up to 32 characters
5. The wallet is added with default settings (alerts ON, copy trade OFF)

You can track up to **20 wallets** at a time.

## Wallet Settings

Each tracked wallet has its own independent settings. Tap any wallet in the list to open its settings panel.

### Alerts

Toggle notifications ON/OFF for this wallet. When enabled, you'll receive a Telegram alert whenever the wallet buys or sells a token.

- **Buy alerts** show the token, buy size, and full market data
- **Sell alerts** show what was sold, how much, and the approximate percentage of their position

### Copy Trade (Auto-Buy)

When enabled, the bot automatically buys the same token whenever the tracked wallet buys. Three conditions must all be true for a copy-buy to execute:

1. **Auto-Trade** is ON (your master toggle)
2. **Copy Trading auto-buy** is ON (main menu **🤖 Auto** → Auto-Buy Control Panel → Copy Auto-Buy)
3. **Copy Trade** is ON for this specific wallet

Use **Diagnostics** in the Auto-Buy panel to see which gate is blocking copy buys.

### Buy Amount

Control how much SOL to spend when copying a buy:

| Mode | Description |
|------|-------------|
| **Global Default** | Uses your main buy amount from Settings |
| **Fixed SOL** | A specific SOL amount (e.g., 0.5 SOL) |
| **Percentage** | A percentage of your wallet balance |

### Exit Strategy

Choose what happens after a copy-buy is executed:

| Strategy | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| **Copy Sell** | Mirrors the tracked wallet's sells proportionally (default) |
| **Trading Plan** | Applies one of your trading plans |
| **Basic Mode** | Uses your global TP/SL/Trailing Stop settings |
| **Manual Only** | No automatic exits — you sell manually |

**Copy Sell** is the default and recommended for true copy trading. When the tracked wallet sells 50% of their position, the bot sells 50% of yours.

### Filters

Choose which token filters to apply before a copy-buy executes:

- **Global Filters** (default): Uses your main filter settings (market cap, holders, social, shield)
- **Custom Filters**: Override with wallet-specific filters — useful if you want looser filters for a highly trusted wallet

### Min Buy Threshold

Filters out small transactions from the tracked wallet. Default is **0.25 SOL** — only buys above this amount trigger a copy-buy. This helps you ignore test transactions or dust trades.

Set to **None** to copy all buys regardless of size.

### ABP Override (Auto-Buy Protection)

By default, Auto-Buy Protection prevents buying a token you've already traded. Enable this override to allow copy-buys even for tokens you already own — useful if you trust the wallet's re-entry signals.

## Copy Sell — How It Works

When a tracked wallet sells and your position's exit strategy is set to **Copy Sell**:

1. The bot detects the sell transaction
2. It calculates what percentage of their position was sold
3. It sells the same percentage of your position
4. If they sell 100%, your position closes entirely

**Important:** Copy sell only applies to positions that were originally bought via copy trading from that same wallet. It won't sell positions you bought manually or from other signals.

## Tips & Best Practices

1. **Start with alerts only** — Watch a wallet's trades before enabling copy-buy to make sure their style matches your risk tolerance
2. **Use min buy threshold** — Keep the 0.25 SOL minimum to filter out noise trades
3. **Set appropriate buy amounts** — Don't blindly match whale-sized buys; set a fixed amount you're comfortable with
4. **Combine with filters** — Use market cap and holder filters to skip tokens that don't meet your criteria
5. **Consider exit strategy carefully** — Copy Sell is great for fully mirroring a trader, but Trading Plans give you more control over your exits
6. **Track diversely** — Track wallets with different strategies rather than 20 similar wallets calling the same tokens
