Copy trading is replicating another wallet's trades automatically. When @gabagool22 buys YES on a market at $0.42, your bot buys the same YES within a second - with your position sizing and your risk caps. Technically: we monitor on-chain transactions via Polygon RPC, parse Conditional Token Framework events, and submit a CLOB order in <300ms.
An indexer watches the wallets you've subscribed to. A filter layer decides which signals to act on. An execution layer signs and submits the order - with your sizing rules applied first.
Polygon RPC indexer subscribes to Trade events from the source wallet's proxy contract. We see fills the same block they confirm.
Your config decides: max position size, allowed categories, blackout markets, cooldown between fills, max concurrent positions, max daily drawdown.
EIP-712 signed order to CLOB, with slippage budget. If the orderbook shifted past your tolerance, we skip and log - no chase.
No hidden behavior. If a trade fires that you didn't expect, the reason is in the log - pinned to a config line.

Copy trading isn't free profit. It's an execution shortcut for a thesis someone else proved. The thesis can stop working - and you'll be on the hook for the drawdown.
A wallet with a 68% win rate today might have been one of thousands trying - and you only see the survivor. We surface the wallet's full historical drawdown on every profile page so you go in with eyes open.
By the time you fill, the orderbook has moved a tick or two. We model this in the backtest. For tight-spread markets, copy trading can underperform the source wallet by 5-20% even with perfect execution.
A wallet that posted $2M PnL last year may take 6 months off, or change strategy, or get drained. The bot keeps copying until you tell it to stop. Set drawdown stops accordingly.
Plan to review your basket weekly, drop wallets that decay, rotate in fresh ones. Or pay us a retainer to do it. Either way, set expectations: ongoing work, not autopilot.
Copy one source wallet with risk caps. Good first project.
