Copy Trading
Learn how to automatically replicate successful traders' strategies with Med.Fun's copy trading feature.
Risk Disclaimer: Copy trading does not guarantee profits. Past performance of a wallet does not ensure future success. Always use risk management controls and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
What is Copy Trading?
Copy trading allows you to automatically mirror the trades of successful wallets in real-time. When they buy, you buy. When they sell, you sell. All executed automatically based on your configured settings.
Benefits of Copy Trading
Learn from Experts: Follow proven strategies from successful traders
Save Time: No need to constantly monitor markets
Diversification: Copy multiple wallets with different strategies
Automation: Trades execute automatically while you sleep
Customizable: Full control over amounts, limits, and filters
Risks of Copy Trading
No Guarantees: Past success doesn't predict future results
Slippage: Your execution price may differ from the copied wallet
Market Changes: Strategies that worked before may not work now
Overfollowing: Wallet may change behavior if they know they're copied
Fees: Trading fees apply to every copied trade
Getting Started
Prerequisites

✅ Have a funded Med.Fun account

✅ Set aside capital specifically for copy trading
✅ Decide on risk parameters
Finding Wallets to Copy

Click on wallets to see detailed history
Analyze their trading patterns
Method 2: Token Pages
Visit any token detail page
Look for top traders/holders
Check their performance
Find consistent performers
Method 3: External Research

Evaluating Wallets
Before copying, check these metrics:
Performance Metrics:
✅ Total P&L (positive and consistent)
✅ Win Rate (60%+ is excellent)
✅ Number of trades (sufficient sample size)
✅ Average hold time (matches your strategy?)
✅ Drawdown (how deep were their losses?)
Trading Pattern:
✅ Consistent strategy or erratic?
✅ Position sizes - reasonable or overleveraged?
✅ Token diversity or single-token focused?
✅ Trading frequency - day trader or swing trader?
✅ Recent performance (last 30 days)
Red Flags:
❌ Only 1-2 lucky trades (not consistent)
❌ Extremely high risk-taking
❌ Very few trades (not enough data)
❌ Recent poor performance
❌ Suspiciously perfect record (possible self-trading)
Setting Up Copy Trading
Step-by-Step Setup
Step 1: Access Copy Trading
Navigate to AI Hub → Copy Trading tab
Click "Add Wallet to Track" or "Start Copy Trading"
Step 2: Enter Wallet Address
Paste the Solana wallet address you want to copy
The system will load their recent trading history
Review their stats before proceeding
Step 3: Configure Copy Settings
This is crucial - set your parameters carefully:
Amount Settings
Choose how much to invest per copied trade:
Option A: Fixed Amount
Copy with same dollar amount each time
Example: If they buy $1000, you buy $500 (if you set $500)
Pros: Predictable, easy to manage
Cons: Ignores their position sizing
Option B: Percentage Match
Copy a percentage of their position size
Example: Copy 10% of their trades
Pros: Scales with their confidence
Cons: Can be unpredictable if they trade large
Option C: Ratio/Multiplier
Use a fixed ratio (e.g., 0.5x = half their size)
Example: They buy $1000, you buy $500
Pros: Balanced approach
Cons: Still scales with their size
Recommendation for Beginners: Start with Fixed Amount (small amount like $50-100 per trade)
Risk Controls (Critical!)
Max Per Trade:
Cap on any single copied trade
Example: No more than $200 per trade
Prevents accidentally copying huge positions
Daily Spend Limit:
Maximum total to spend in one day
Example: Max $500/day across all copied trades
Protects from overexposure
Stop Loss:
Auto-exit if copied trade goes negative
Example: Exit if trade is down 10%
Essential for risk management
Take Profit:
Auto-exit when copied trade hits profit target
Example: Exit if trade is up 20%
Locks in gains automatically
Max Concurrent Trades:
Limit number of open positions from copy trading
Example: No more than 5 open positions
Prevents overexposure to one wallet's activity
Token Filters
Control which tokens you copy:
Whitelist Mode:
Only copy trades of specific tokens
Example: Only copy SOL, BONK, and RAY
Use when you trust the trader but want to limit exposure
Blacklist Mode:
Copy all trades EXCEPT certain tokens
Example: Block known scam tokens or rugs
Use to avoid specific risks
Market Cap Filters:
Minimum market cap (e.g., only tokens >$1M market cap)
Maximum market cap (e.g., only tokens <$100M market cap)
Filters by token size/risk
Liquidity Filter:
Minimum liquidity required (e.g., >$50K liquidity)
Ensures you can actually execute trades
Prevents getting stuck in low-liquidity tokens
Step 4: Review & Confirm

Advanced Strategies
Multi-Wallet Copy Trading
Copy multiple wallets simultaneously:
Benefits:
Diversification across strategies
Reduces impact of one wallet's losses
Exposure to different market conditions
Better overall risk/reward
Setup:
Find 3-5 complementary wallets
Allocate capital to each (e.g., $500 per wallet)
Use different settings per wallet based on their style
Monitor overall performance regularly
Example Portfolio:
Wallet A: Conservative, high win rate → $300/trade
Wallet B: Aggressive momentum → $150/trade, tight stop-loss
Wallet C: Swing trader → $200/trade, wider stops
Partial Copy Strategy
Copy entry but manage exit manually:
How:
Enable copy for entries only
Disable automatic exit copying
Manually close positions based on your analysis
When to Use:
You trust their entries but want control over exits
You have different profit targets
You want to apply your own risk management
Delayed Copy Trading
Add intentional delay before copying:
Why:
Avoid frontrunning the wallet (if many people copy them)
See if price stabilizes after their entry
Reduce cost of slippage
Risks:
May miss the move if token pumps quickly
Less effective for momentum strategies
Wallet may exit before you even enter
Risk Management
Position Sizing Rules
The 1% Rule for Copy Trading:
Don't risk more than 1% of your capital per copied trade
Example: $10,000 capital = max $100 per copied trade
Accounts for the fact you don't control the strategy
Portfolio Allocation:
Limit copy trading to 10-20% of total portfolio
Don't put all funds into copying one wallet
Keep dry powder for opportunities
Using Stop-Losses
Always use stop-losses on copied trades:
Tight Stops (5-10%):
Use when copying aggressive traders
Limits damage from bad trades
May get stopped out frequently
Moderate Stops (10-20%):
Balanced approach for most situations
Allows for normal volatility
Recommended for beginners
Wide Stops (20%+):
For swing trading strategies
More forgiving of drawdowns
Higher risk per trade
Drawdown Management
What to do when copy trading is losing:
If Down 5-10%:
Review recent copied trades
Check if wallet's strategy changed
Consider reducing position sizes
If Down 10-20%:
Pause copy trading
Analyze what went wrong
Decide if you want to continue
If Down 20%+:
Stop copy trading immediately
Close remaining positions
Re-evaluate wallet selection
Start fresh with new research
Troubleshooting
Trade Wasn't Copied
Possible reasons:
Balance insufficient for the trade
Token filtered out by your whitelist/blacklist
Daily limit already reached
Position size exceeded your max per trade
Market cap or liquidity filter rejected it
Transaction failed due to slippage
Solution:
Check notification details for specific reason
Review and adjust filters if needed
Ensure sufficient balance
Increase slippage tolerance if needed
Different P&L Than Copied Wallet
Why this happens:
You entered at different price (slippage)
You have different position size
You closed at different time/price
Fees differ based on timing
This is normal! Your P&L will always differ slightly.
Copied Wallet Changed Strategy
Signs:
Suddenly trading different tokens
Position sizes dramatically changed
Win rate declining
Holding times changed significantly
What to do:
Pause copy trading
Research why strategy changed
Decide if you still want to follow
Consider finding new wallet to copy
Too Many Notifications
Solution:
Adjust notification settings
Switch to summary/digest mode
Only notify for large copied trades
Disable in-app notifications, keep email summary
