# Copy Trading Settings

> Configure copy trading: copy mode, stakes, sell behavior, entry limits, risk controls, trade size filters, exposure limits, auto-pause on P&L, and tiered slippage.

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Copy Mode</span>

Choose how FrenFlow calculates the size of each copy trade:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Fixed Amount" icon="dollar-sign">
    Spend the same dollar amount on every copy trade, regardless of the leader's trade size.

    **Example:** Set \$10 fixed → every copy trade spends exactly \$10 USDC.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Percentage of Balance" icon="percent">
    Spend a percentage of your available USDC balance on each copy trade. Scales with your account size.

    **Example:** Set 5% → with \$200 balance, each copy trade spends \$10.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Stake Settings</span>

| Setting                     | Range          | Description                                   |
| --------------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Base stake (fixed mode)** | \$1 – \$10,000 | Dollar amount per copy trade                  |
| **Stake percentage**        | 1% – 100%      | Percentage of balance per trade               |
| **Max per trade**           | \$0 – \$10,000 | Hard cap on any single trade (\$0 = no limit) |

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Sell Settings</span>

Control what happens when the leader sells a position:

| Mode                  | Behavior                                                                           |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Mirror**            | Mirror exactly what the leader does — same action, same proportion.                |
| **Same percentage**   | If the leader sells 50% of their position, you sell 50% of yours.                  |
| **Sell all**          | Close your entire position when the leader sells any amount.                       |
| **Fixed amount**      | Sell a fixed dollar amount of your position.                                       |
| **Custom percentage** | Sell a custom percentage of your position (independent of the leader's sell size). |
| **Manual**            | Never auto-sell. You control all exits yourself.                                   |

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Entry Settings</span>

Control how FrenFlow handles multiple entries into the same market:

| Mode            | Behavior                                                                        |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **All entries** | Copy every trade the leader makes, even if it's adding to an existing position. |
| **First only**  | Only copy the first entry into a market. Ignore subsequent adds.                |
| **Max entries** | Set a limit (1–100) on how many times to copy entries into the same market.     |

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Risk Limits</span>

Set guardrails to protect your account:

| Setting                | Range             | Description                                                                                        |
| ---------------------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Max daily volume**   | \$0 – \$1,000,000 | Maximum total trading volume per day (\$0 = unlimited)                                             |
| **Max open positions** | 0 – 1,000         | Maximum simultaneous open positions (0 = unlimited)                                                |
| **Budget cap**         | \$0+              | Hard cap on total capital deployed across all open positions. New trades are skipped once reached. |
| **Max slippage**       | 0.1% – 15%        | Maximum acceptable price difference from the leader's trade                                        |

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Trade Size Filter</span>

Filter which leader trades get copied based on their size:

| Setting            | Description                                                                            |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Min trade size** | Skip leader trades below this dollar amount. Useful to ignore small or dust trades.    |
| **Max trade size** | Cap the maximum size of any single copied trade. Protects you from outsized positions. |

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Exposure Limits</span>

Control how spread out your copied positions are:

| Setting             | Description                                                                                  |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Per event limit** | Max total spend across all markets within the same event. Limits exposure to a single topic. |
| **Max events open** | Cap the number of distinct events you're in at once. Keeps your exposure focused.            |

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Auto-Pause</span>

Automatically pause copy trading based on P\&L thresholds:

| Setting            | Description                                                                                 |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Loss %**         | Pause copying when your total realized loss reaches this percentage of volume.              |
| **Profit %**       | Pause copying when your realized profit hits this percentage of volume. Helps secure gains. |
| **Daily loss \$**  | Pause copying when daily realized losses hit this dollar amount. Resets at midnight UTC.    |
| **Weekly loss \$** | Pause copying when losses over the last 7 days exceed this dollar amount. Rolling window.   |

<Note>
  When auto-pause triggers, existing positions remain open — only new copy trades are paused. You can resume manually from the leader's configuration.
</Note>

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Slippage Protection</span>

When the price has moved significantly since the leader's trade:

1. **Within slippage limit** → Trade executes as a market order at current price
2. **Exceeds slippage limit** → Trade is skipped, you're notified

### Tiered Slippage

For finer control, you can set different slippage limits based on token price (web only):

| Price Range         | Default | Description                                      |
| ------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **40¢+** (high)     | 2%      | Tokens near resolution — small moves matter more |
| **15¢–40¢** (mid)   | 4%      | Mid-range tokens with moderate volatility        |
| **Under 15¢** (low) | 8%      | Cheap tokens where wider price swings are normal |

<Note>
  Tiered slippage overrides the global max slippage when configured. Leave empty to use the global setting. The max slippage has a hard cap of 15%. Default is 5%.
</Note>

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>Per-Leader Settings</span>

Each leader you copy has **independent settings**. You can copy one leader with \$5 fixed and another with 10% of your balance. Edit settings anytime by clicking ⚙️ next to "Copying" on their profile. See [Follow a Leader](/copy-trading/follow-a-leader) for how to start copying.

## <span style={{color: "#baf820"}}>From Telegram</span>

All copy trading settings are configurable from the bot. Use `/leaders` to select a leader and tap **Configure** to edit copy mode, stake, sell mode, entry mode, and risk limits. Settings sync between web and Telegram — changes in one are reflected in the other.
