# Copy trading

_Source: https://docs.neurotrading.io/en/automation/copy-trading_

Mirror the trades of any Solana wallet — a KOL, a fund, a friend — onto one of your own wallets, automatically and in real time.

## How it works

1. You subscribe one of **your wallets** to a **target wallet** address.
2. Neurobot watches the target's on-chain activity through a live transaction stream (no polling delay).
3. When the target buys or sells, your wallet mirrors the trade according to your settings, and you're notified.

## Your controls

| Setting | Options |
| --- | --- |
| **Copy amount** | A **fixed SOL amount** per copied buy, or a **percentage** of what the target spent. |
| **Skip existing holdings** | Don't copy buys into tokens the target already held before you subscribed. |
| **Active toggle** | Pause/resume a subscription without deleting it — the wallet card shows the active state at a glance. |
| **Sells** | Mirrored proportionally, so a partial exit by the target becomes a partial exit for you. |

You can run multiple subscriptions across different wallets — one wallet per trader keeps PnL attribution clean.

## Setting it up

* **Web — Copy trade page:** add a subscription (target address + wallet + amount settings), see per-subscription **holdings** and history, edit or pause from the table.
* **Telegram — `/copy-trade`:** create/view/update/delete subscriptions and edit settings through guided flows.

An **activity log** records every copied action, and a sanity check prevents circular setups (you can't copy yourself).

## Good to know

* Copied trades use **your** fee & slippage settings, and appear in your history tagged as copy trades.
* Copying can't front-run the target — you trade *after* their transaction lands; expect a slightly different price.
* If your wallet lacks SOL for a copy, that copy is skipped and logged; the subscription stays active.
