Automated Copy Trading on Polymarket
Automated copy trading lets you mirror a top trader's positions without placing each order yourself. On Polycopy you pick a trader, set your rules, and an Auto Copy bot mirrors their qualifying trades on Polymarket 24/7 — filtered by Copy Score so it copies their best moves, not their worst.
What is automated copy trading?
Automated copy trading is a method of mirroring another trader's positions automatically, using software that detects their trades and replicates them in your own account under rules you define. On Polymarket, Polycopy's Auto Copy bot does this 24/7: you pick a top trader, set a Copy Score floor, per-trade cap, daily budget, and category filters, then activate. The bot mirrors every qualifying trade on a best-effort basis — slippage, minimum size, and your filters all apply, so it is not a guaranteed 1:1 match. You stay in control: pause, adjust your rules, or stop the bot at any time. Following any trader and copying manually is free; Auto Copy is included in Polycopy Premium at $30/month.
The ways to automate copy trading
There are four common ways traders automate copying on Polymarket. They differ in how much work they take to run — and, more importantly, in whether they copy a trader's good trades or all of them.
Coded bots & APIs
Write your own bot against Polymarket's CLOB API. Maximum flexibility, but it requires real dev skills, a server running 24/7, and ongoing maintenance when the API changes. Out of reach for most traders.
No-code copy bots
Pick a trader, set your rules, and the platform runs the bot for you — no code, no server. This is Polycopy's Auto Copy. The key advantage: it can filter which trades to copy by Copy Score, instead of mirroring everything.
Blind 1:1 mirroring
Copy every single trade a wallet makes, automatically. Simple to set up, but you inherit the trader's low-conviction and speculative bets too — their worst trades become your worst trades. No quality filter.
Signal alerts
Get a notification when a trader moves, then place the trade yourself. Not truly automated — you're still the one executing — but useful if you want a human in the loop on every position.
The catch with most automation is that it copies everything. The real edge isn't automating execution — it's automating which trades you copy.
Why Copy Score makes Polycopy's Auto Copy different
Every trader makes good trades and bad ones. Copy Score rates how copy-worthy each trade is on a 0–100 scale, based on the trader's proven history in that exact type of bet. Set a Copy Score floor and Auto Copy mirrors only the trades that clear your bar — automating the filtering, not just the clicking.

How Auto Copy works
Pick a trader to copy
Browse the leaderboard and filter by ROI, win rate, category specialization, and Copy Score to find a trader whose edge you understand.
Set your rules
Configure a Copy Score floor, per-trade allocation, daily budget cap, category filters, and a stop loss. Pick a risk preset or go fully custom — these rules are the guardrails the bot trades inside.
Activate Auto Copy
Toggle the bot on. It monitors the trader's activity around the clock and mirrors qualifying trades automatically — the ones that pass your Copy Score floor and filters. Everything else is skipped.
Monitor & adjust
Track performance in your dashboard. Tighten your rules, change the trader, pause, or stop the bot at any time with one click.
Full Auto Copy setup guide →Prefer to stay hands-on? Use one-click execution
Not everyone wants a fully automated bot. One-click execution is the manual alternative: you still review and approve every trade, but instead of switching to Polymarket and re-entering the order, you click "Execute" once in Polycopy and it's placed in about a second. You keep full discretion over every position — the only thing that's automated is the order placement.
Both Auto Copy and one-click execution are included in Polycopy Premium ($30/mo). Auto Copy suits hands-off traders; one-click suits those who want to approve each trade themselves.
Safety & Security
You Own Your Wallet
Polycopy is non-custodial — we never hold your funds. Your wallet stays yours, and you can disconnect it at any time.
Secured by Turnkey
We use Turnkey, institutional-grade wallet infrastructure, to securely store your private key. It's encrypted and only used to place the trades your Auto Copy rules authorize.
Your Rules Are the Guardrails
Auto Copy only acts inside the limits you set — Copy Score floor, per-trade cap, daily budget, category filters, and stop loss. Your downside is bounded by your rules, not by what the trader does, and you can pause or stop the bot instantly.
Automated, but on Your Terms
Auto Copy is a bot — that's the point. But automation doesn't mean handing over the keys. You define every rule before the bot ever places a trade, and it can only operate inside those limits.
You stay in control: set the trader, the Copy Score floor, the position sizes, the budget, and the stop loss. Pause, adjust, or shut it off anytime. The bot does the watching and the clicking — you set the strategy.
Who is automated copy trading for?
Hands-off traders
If you can't watch the markets all day, Auto Copy mirrors a trader's qualifying moves 24/7 so you don't miss entries while you're asleep or at work.
People who want a quality filter
If blind mirroring worries you, a Copy Score floor means the bot only copies a trader's higher-conviction trades — not every speculative dart they throw.
Traders diversifying across wallets
Run separate Auto Copy configurations for different traders — a sports specialist with tight filters, a politics specialist with wider ones — each with its own budget and rules.
