How to Set Up an Auto Copy Bot on Polycopy
Step-by-step guide to setting up an Auto Copy bot on Polycopy. Pick a trader, choose a risk preset, configure your rules, and the bot mirrors their qualifying trades 24/7.
Go to the Bots page
Navigate to the Bots section in Polycopy (polycopy.app/bots). You'll need a Premium subscription ($30/mo) to activate Auto Copy bots. Free users can preview the setup flow.
Select a trader to copy
Click "New Bot" and choose a trader from the leaderboard or your followed list. Review their recent performance, category focus, and trade frequency. A trader who makes 5–15 trades per week is ideal for Auto Copy.
Choose a risk preset
Pick from four presets: Conservative (high Copy Score grade floor, small positions), Moderate (balanced), Aggressive (lower grade floor, larger positions), or No Filter (broadest follow, no Copy Score gate). You can customize any preset afterward.
Set your budget rules
Configure total capital allocated to the bot, max per trade (ceiling on YOUR copy size per trade — not a filter on the trader's order size), optional daily budget, and allocation mode (Fixed, Conviction, or Kelly). See Help — Max per trade & trade amount for details.
Activate the bot
Review your configuration summary and click "Activate." The bot is now live — it monitors the trader's activity and copies qualifying trades within your rules. A trading fee (1% taker / 0.5% maker) applies to each executed trade. You'll receive notifications for each copy.
