Copy Trading

Watch swaps for a token on a DEX. When a whitelisted wallet trades, your wallets mirror it at a set size — or take the other side. Uses the same wallet set as Volume Bot. Matched rules fire immediately.

This is not “follow a KOL’s calls.” You watch V2 / V3 pools for one token on supported DEXes. When someone trades and your rules match, the bot places your swap at the size you set. There is no confirm step — keep size and ratio tiny until you have seen a clean fill.

  1. Load the execution walletsCopy trading shares the Volume Bot wallet pool. Open Manage wallets here, or import keys on the Volume Bot page. Leave native coin for gas in every wallet. Buys also need quote (BNB / ETH / USDT, …); sells need token balance.
  2. Pick the chain, token, and DEXThe chain follows the header. Choose a DEX (e.g. PancakeSwap V2), paste the token contract, and pick the quote / base pool. On V3, pick the fee tier — different tiers are different pools and different prices. The page resolves the pool to watch once those fields are set.
  3. Set the whitelist: who to followOne address per line. Only those wallets are copied. Leave it empty and you mirror everyone in the pool — noisy and easy to overtrade. Excluded addresses are never followed; your execution wallets are added to that list automatically so you do not copy yourself.
  4. Size band, copy ratio, and slippageMin / max size is in quote units. Copy ratio is a percent of the source notional (1–500); 10% is fine for a first test. Slippage caps the worst fill you will accept. First run tip: follow buys only → copy the buy, ratio 1–5%, and a tight max size.
  5. Direction: same side or inverseOn buys you can mirror the buy or sell into it. On sells you can mirror the sell or buy the dip. Inverse is for hedges and rebounds — it can still lose money. Turn on at least one side before you start.
  6. Start and watch scanned / matched / filledOnce running, new swaps are scanned about every 3 seconds. The header shows scanned, matched, filled, and skipped. Matches broadcast immediately. Navigating inside the site keeps it running; closing the tab, refreshing, or switching networks in the header stops it. Skip reasons in the log (size filter, low balance, slippage, …) tell you what blocked a fill.
SettingWhat it means
WhitelistOnly copy these wallets; empty = everyone (higher risk)
ExcludeNever copy; execution wallets are added automatically
Follow buys / sellsWhich side of the book to listen to — enable at least one
Mirror buy / sellSame-side copy
Inverse sell / buyThey buy, you sell — or they sell, you buy
Copy ratioYour size = source notional × percent
SlippageWorst acceptable fill; too tight and you skip

Never do this · Matched rules send a live trade — no confirm dialog

Prove one small fill first with a tiny ratio and a narrow size band. Check the log and balances, then scale up.

Tip · Fees

Each fill takes a 5% quote-token service fee: taken from the wallet on buys, from proceeds on sells. Gas is separate. Trust the amount shown on the page when you run it.

Careful · Why some swaps are not copied

Size band, whitelist, excludes, and side filters drop a lot of flow. After a match you can still skip on low balance, slippage, or a slow RPC. Switching networks in the header stops copy trading — it was watching pools on the previous chain.

Careful · Not every chain is supported

Only chains with a configured V2 / V3 venue (e.g. BSC, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base). On an unsupported network the form locks and tells you why.
