# Setup & Settings

> How to create a copy subscription and configure your trading preferences.

Use `/copy` to open your copy trading dashboard. From there, tap **Add new** to start the setup wizard. The wizard walks you through seven steps.

<Note>
  Copy trades are executed automatically once your subscription is active. You do not need to approve each trade individually.
</Note>

## Setup wizard

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a trader">
    Enter the wallet address or Polymarket profile URL of the trader you want to copy.

    Accepted formats:

    * EVM address: `0x1234...abcd`
    * Profile URL: `polymarket.com/profile/0x1234...abcd`

    You can also tap **Browse Top Traders** to open the [Overdog leaderboard](/copy-trading/top-traders) and start copying directly from a trader card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your subscription">
    Give the subscription a label so you can identify it later (1–24 characters). Examples: `Whale Watcher`, `Top Trader`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a sizing method">
    Select how much to invest in each copied trade:

    | Method                 | How it works                                                                              |
    | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Fixed Amount**       | Spend the same dollar amount on every trade (default: \$10)                               |
    | **Exact Copy**         | Mirror the trader's exact dollar amount                                                   |
    | **Percentage**         | Spend a percentage of the trader's trade size (1–100%)                                    |
    | **Portfolio Weighted** | Scale your trade size proportionally to your portfolio vs. theirs (0.01–10× scale factor) |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a max per market">
    Optionally cap the total amount you'll invest in any single market. This prevents a single market from consuming a disproportionate share of your balance.

    Skip this step if you don't want a cap.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set slippage tolerance">
    Choose the maximum price deviation you'll accept when your copy trade executes:

    | Option      | Tolerance | Best for                                      |
    | ----------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------- |
    | **Tight**   | 2¢        | Better fills; may miss low-liquidity markets  |
    | **Default** | 5¢        | Works for most markets                        |
    | **Wide**    | 10¢       | Reliable fills in thin or fast-moving markets |

    You can also enter a custom value between 1¢ and 25¢.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set an odds filter">
    Optionally restrict which trades you copy based on the outcome price (implied probability):

    | Option        | Range       | Effect                                            |
    | ------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
    | **10¢ – 90¢** | 0.10 – 0.90 | Skips extreme longshots and near-certain outcomes |
    | **20¢ – 80¢** | 0.20 – 0.80 | Moderate range                                    |
    | **No Filter** | Any price   | Copies all trades                                 |

    You can enter a custom range as two decimal values (e.g. `0.15, 0.85`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose trade behavior">
    Decide how to react to the trader's activity:

    | Option            | What happens                                     |
    | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
    | **Buys Only**     | Copy their buy orders only                       |
    | **Buys + Sells**  | Copy buys, and sell your position when they sell |
    | **Counter Trade** | Take the opposite side of every trade            |
  </Step>
</Steps>

After completing all seven steps, you'll see a review summary. Confirm to create the subscription. New subscriptions start **paused** — tap the subscription in your dashboard to activate it when you're ready.

## Managing subscriptions

Run `/copy` at any time to open your dashboard. It lists all your active copy subscriptions.

Tap any subscription to:

* **View history** — see all trades that have been copied under this subscription
* **Edit settings** — update sizing, slippage, odds filter, or trade behavior
* **Pause / Resume** — temporarily stop copying without deleting the subscription
* **Remove** — permanently delete the subscription

You can also pause or resume all subscriptions at once from the dashboard.
