Copy Trading Parameters
Full reference for every setting in the copy trading configuration. All values shown are defaults from the Balanced preset.
Allocation Mode
Controls how much USDC is placed on each copied trade.
| Mode | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
Fixed |
Place exactly N USDC on every copied trade. Simple and predictable. | $5 USDC |
Percent |
Use a percentage of your available trading balance per trade. Scales with your account size. | 25% |
When using Percent mode, you can also set a minimum and maximum USDC per trade to avoid very small or very large orders:
| Parameter | Min | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Min USDC per trade | $0 | $5 |
| Max USDC per trade | $0 | $25 |
New to copy trading? Start with Fixed mode at a small amount (e.g., $5–$10) to observe results before committing more capital.
Slippage Tolerance
Maximum price deviation allowed when placing a copied trade. If the market moves beyond this before the order fills, the trade is skipped.
| Value | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 2% (Conservative) | Strict. Fewer fills in fast-moving markets, but better price control. |
| 5% (Balanced, default) | Good balance between fill rate and price quality. |
| 8% (Aggressive) | Permissive. Higher fill rate but may execute at a less favorable price. |
Range: 0.1% – 50%
Liquidity & Exposure Limits
| Parameter | What it does | Min | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Min market liquidity | Skip trades in markets with less total liquidity than this threshold. | $1,000 | $20,000 |
| Max total exposure | Pause copying new trades once your total open position value reaches this amount. | $10 | $150 |
| Max exposure per market | Limit how much can be placed in any single market. | $5 | $35 |
| Max trades per day | Maximum number of copied trades in a 24-hour window. | 1 | 8 |
Auto Stop-Loss & Take-Profit
| Parameter | Description | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stop-loss % | Auto-close position if it loses this % from entry. E.g., 20% means exit when value drops 20%. | 0–100% | 20% |
| Take-profit % | Auto-close position when it gains this % from entry. Set to 0 to disable. | 0–1000% | 50% |
Stop-loss and take-profit use market orders. In low-liquidity markets the actual exit price may differ slightly from the trigger level.
