Copy Trading — Mirror Leader Wallet Activity

How It Works The copy trading strategy identifies Polymarket wallet addresses with historically strong performance and automatically mirrors their trades. When a target address executes a trade on any Polymarket market (politics, sports, crypto, etc.), the bot detects the transaction via polling and replicates it with a proportional or fixed position size.

Entry / Exit Conditions Entry is triggered when the monitored wallet executes a buy. Exit mirrors the leader's exit trades, or can be triggered by custom stop-loss rules defined in the configuration. Polling interval is configurable, affecting how quickly the follower reacts to leader trades.

Verification No verified P&L available. Two independent implementations exist in this report (kalliimmunosuppressive504 and UnitedStars111), suggesting genuine demand for this approach. The UnitedStars111 repository dates to 2023, indicating the strategy has been pursued for multiple years.

Implementation Notes Implemented in TypeScript (kalliimmunosuppressive504 version) with configuration via trade.toml and .env files (UnitedStars111 version). Custom size limits allow risk management. Interval polling means there is inherent latency between leader execution and follower execution, which can result in worse fill prices.

Risks Leader identification is the critical challenge — past performance does not guarantee future results, and profitable wallets may simply have gotten lucky. Polling latency means the follower always gets worse prices than the leader. Leaders may be aware of followers and front-run or manipulate their own trades. Large follower positions relative to market liquidity can move prices adversely.
