# Copy a wallet

Goal: mirror a trader you trust, proportionally, with a wallet dedicated to the job.

## Step 1 — Choose who to copy

Find a wallet whose trading you actually want: check its history on a Solana explorer — consistent size, real exits, not one lucky moonshot. Copy trading copies **behavior**, including the bad days.

## Step 2 — Dedicate a wallet

Create a fresh wallet (e.g. "Copy — TraderX") and fund it with the amount you're willing to allocate to this strategy. A dedicated wallet keeps the copied PnL cleanly attributable.

## Step 3 — Create the subscription

**Web → Copy trade → New** (or Telegram `/copy-trade` → create):

1. Paste the **target wallet address**.
2. Select **your** copy wallet.
3. Choose sizing:
   * **Percentage** — e.g. 10% of whatever the target spends. Scales with their conviction; recommended.
   * **Fixed SOL** — same size per copy regardless of theirs.
4. Enable **Skip existing holdings** so you don't buy into positions they opened before you subscribed.
5. Confirm — the subscription shows as **active**.

## Step 4 — Let it run

* Every mirrored buy/sell arrives as a Telegram notification.
* The Copy trade page shows the subscription's **holdings** and history; the wallet's icon reflects the active state.
* Sells mirror proportionally — their 50% exit is your 50% exit.

## Step 5 — Manage it

* **Pause** with the active toggle (keeps config, stops copying); resume any time.
* **Edit** sizing whenever — takes effect from the next copy.
* If a copy is skipped for insufficient SOL, it's logged and the subscription stays active — top up the wallet.
