Managing copy trading

Monitor, control, and optimize your active copy trading configurations with real-time performance tracking and flexible management controls.

Viewing configurations​

Navigate to the Copy Trading page to see all your configurations with their status, settings, and last activity.

View Detail Copy Trading Configuration

Status:

  • Active (green): Copying trades automatically
  • Paused (yellow): Temporarily stopped
  • Inactive (gray): Disabled, can be reactivated

Configuration controls​

Pause: Temporarily stop copying. System unsubscribes from trader's feed. Existing positions remain open.

Resume: Restart a paused configuration. Can only resume if no other active config on the same DEX.

Edit: Modify nickname, amount strategy, sizing, filters, or leverage. Changes apply to future trades only. Cannot change trader address or execution DEX.

Edit Copy Trading Configuration

Delete: Permanently remove configuration. Trade history is preserved but existing positions require manual management.

Trade history​

Each configuration tracks all copied trades with execution details.

Trade Status:

  • Executed: Successfully copied and order placed
  • Failed: Attempted but failed (error message shown)
  • Skipped: Detected but not copied due to filters

Columns: Detected time, symbol, side, trader size, your size, price, status, execution time (ms)

Filtering: View by status, symbol, or date range to analyze performance.

Performance metrics​

Total Trades: Detected, executed, failed, and skipped counts

Success Rate: (Executed / Total) × 100%

Average Execution Time: Mean time from detection to order (typical: 200-500ms)

Total Cost: Sum of all executed trade values in USD

Per Trade: Cost (Size × Price), execution time, and size comparison

Monitoring tips​

Daily: Check that trades are executing, review failed trades, monitor success rate

Weekly: Analyze executed vs skipped trades, verify filters work as intended, assess capital allocation

Adjust: Modify settings based on trader's strategy changes, your risk tolerance, or performance results

Balance: Maintain adequate funds on execution DEX with buffer for multiple trades and fees

Troubleshooting​

No Trades Copying: Verify config is active, trader is trading, filters aren't too restrictive, and you have sufficient balance.

High Failure Rate: Check balance, review error messages, verify API keys (Aster/Lighter).

Unexpected Sizes: Review amount strategy, leverage, and asset price at execution.

Skipped Trades: Check skip reason in trade history and adjust filters if needed.

Multiple configurations​

Create configs for multiple traders but only one can be active per DEX at a time. Pause one and resume another to switch traders on the same DEX. You can copy different traders on different DEXs simultaneously for diversification.

Compare Performance: Test multiple traders for a period (e.g., 1 week each) and compare success rate, execution time, and capital efficiency to find the best performer.
