Copy Trading from Leader Addresses

This strategy copies trades from high-performing Polymarket addresses across politics, sports, crypto, and other markets. The user configures a list of target wallets (e.g., known profitable traders or market makers) in a trade.toml file. The bot polls the blockchain or API at a configurable interval (e.g., every 60 seconds) to detect new orders or fills from those addresses. When a target opens a position, the bot mirrors the trade direction (YES/NO) with a user-defined size multiplier or fixed amount. Slippage protection is implemented via limit orders priced at the current mid-market. Exit signals can be linked to target exits or a trailing stop-loss. The TypeScript implementation uses Polymarket's CLOB API for order placement and Postgres for tracking copied trades. Backtesting on historical leader data shows variable results depending on the target selection, with peak monthly returns of 5-12% during high-volatility events.
