# Copytrade

> Automatically copy trades from any wallet

Copytrade lets you automatically mirror trades from any wallet address. When your target buys or sells, Synthesis executes the same trade on your behalf using your configured settings.

## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find a trader to copy">
    Navigate to any user's profile or portfolio page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click 'Copytrade'">
    Open the copytrade modal and enter the target wallet address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your settings">
    Set your mode, buy/sell preferences, and filters.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Click "Setup Copytrade" to start copying trades.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Mode

Choose how you want to follow the target's trades.

| Mode        | Description                                                       |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Copy**    | Follow the same side as the target. If they buy Yes, you buy Yes. |
| **Counter** | Take the opposite side. If they buy Yes, you buy No.              |

## Buy Settings

Controls what happens when the target buys.

### Buys Enabled

Toggle whether buy trades are copied. Disable this if you only want to copy sells.

### If Insufficient USDC

What happens when you don't have enough USDC to match the trade.

| Option      | Description                                |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Buy max** | Spend your remaining balance on the trade. |
| **Skip**    | Skip the trade entirely.                   |

### Buy Sizing

Choose how your buy amount is calculated.

| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Percentage** | Buy a percentage of the target's trade amount. For example, 10% means if they buy 100 USDC, you buy 10 USDC. |
| **Fixed**      | Buy a fixed USDC amount on every trade, regardless of the target's size. Minimum \$1.00.                     |
| **Balance**    | Buy a percentage of your wallet balance or allocated funds.                                                  |

When using **Balance** sizing, select your balance source:

* **Wallet** — Percentage is based on your current wallet balance.
* **Allocation** — Percentage is based on your allocated funds (see below).

### Allocated Funds

## Filters

Filters are checked before placing an order. If any filter fails, the trade is skipped.

### Max Slippage

Maximum allowed price impact in cents. If the trade would move the price more than this amount, it's skipped. Valid range: 0.1 - 100 cents.

### Trade Amount Range

Only copy trades where the target's trade amount falls within a USDC range. Set a minimum and/or maximum to filter out trades that are too small or too large.
