How Smart Wallet Copy Trading Works

Learn how copy trading works in prediction markets — from tracking top wallets to automatically mirroring their trades via Telegram.

What Is Copy Trading?

In the context of prediction markets, copy trading means monitoring specific blockchain wallets and replicating their trades in your own wallet. When a top trader buys YES on a market, you automatically buy YES on the same market with your own funds.

PolyFire makes this seamless by tracking wallet activity on-chain and executing trades through Telegram. You set your allocation (how much capital to use per copied trade) and maximum trade sizes, and the bot handles the rest.

Finding Wallets to Copy

The Wallets On Fire leaderboard tracks over 5,700 wallets, ranked by performance metrics including P&L, win rate, volume, and a composite wallet score. You can filter by category to find traders who specialize in the areas you're interested in.

Key metrics to evaluate when choosing wallets to copy include win rate (how often they profit), total P&L (cumulative profits), wallet score (composite quality rating), and trade frequency (how active they are).

How PolyFire Copy Trading Works

1. Browse the Wallets On Fire leaderboard and find wallets with strong track records. 2. Add them to your copy list in the PolyFire Telegram bot. 3. Set your allocation percentage (what fraction of your balance to use per trade). 4. When the copied wallet trades, PolyFire automatically executes the same trade in your wallet. 5. You receive notifications for every copied trade and can override or cancel at any time.

Benefits and Risks

Copy trading provides access to the strategies of experienced traders without requiring deep market knowledge. It's particularly valuable for new traders or those who don't have time for extensive research.

However, past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Even the best wallets have losing trades. Diversifying across multiple wallets and using conservative allocation percentages helps manage risk. Never copy trade with more than you can afford to lose.
