How to Manage, Pause & Stop Auto Copy Bots
How to manage your Auto Copy bots on Polycopy: pause, resume, stop, edit rules, and review performance. Full control over your automated trading at all times.
View your active bots
Go to the Bots page to see all your Auto Copy bots. Each bot card shows: the trader being copied, current status (Active/Paused/Stopped), total copies made, P&L from copied trades, and your configured rules summary.
Pause a bot
Click "Pause" to temporarily stop a bot from copying new trades. Existing positions remain open — pausing only prevents new copies. Use this when you want to take a break without closing positions (e.g., over a weekend or during high-volatility events).
Resume a paused bot
Click "Resume" to reactivate a paused bot. It immediately starts monitoring for new qualifying trades again. Any trades the source trader made while your bot was paused are not retroactively copied.
Edit bot rules
Click the settings gear to modify any rule: Copy Score floor, per-trade cap, daily budget, category filters, or stop-loss. Changes apply to future trades only — existing open positions use the rules that were active when they were copied.
Stop and delete a bot
Click "Stop" to permanently deactivate a bot. You can choose whether to also close all open positions from that bot or let them ride to resolution. Stopped bots can be deleted from your dashboard or restarted with new settings.
Review bot performance
Click into any bot to see its performance dashboard: total copies, win rate, P&L, average Copy Score of executed trades, and a timeline of all copied trades. Use this data to decide whether to adjust rules, switch traders, or stop the bot.
