How to Size Auto Copy Closer to the Trader (Near 1:1)
Configure Polycopy Auto Copy for sizes closer to the trader you follow: Fixed vs Conviction, filters, capital, and realistic limits on exact mirroring.
Know the product limit
Polycopy does not guarantee exact dollar-for-dollar mirroring on every fill. Slippage, drift chase, minimum order size, rounding, and your filters can change or skip copies. You can get close with the right settings.
One bot per trader
Use one active Auto Copy bot per trader. Stopped bots cannot be resumed — create a new bot rather than duplicating many copies of the same wallet.
Steady bet size → use Fixed
If the trader often bets similar amounts (e.g. $30–80), choose Fixed allocation and set Trade amount to their typical bet. Set total capital to at least 10–20× that amount. Set max per trade equal to the fixed amount after activation.
Variable bet size → use Conviction
If their size swings a lot, Conviction scales with how large their bet is vs their average (not exact USD match). Set min per trade to $2, max per trade to at or above their largest expected bet, and enough total capital.
Loosen filters for maximum coverage
For the broadest follow: No filter preset or Copy Score 0, no min conviction or win rate, wide price band, all relevant market categories, max resolution days off or high, Scale with Cash off, mirror sells on if you want exits aligned.
Avoid Kelly if you want predictable size
Kelly sizes from edge and bankroll, not the trader's notional. Prefer Fixed or Conviction when you care about matching the leader's trade scale.
