Copy Trading

Mirror the trades of any wallet, in real time. When a leader you follow buys or sells, WhalesX replicates the action on your trading wallet within milliseconds.

How it works

  1. You add a leader wallet as a copy target and set your parameters.
  2. WhalesX watches every DEX. The instant the leader trades, it’s detected.
  3. A buy/sell job is built, signed with your trading wallet’s key, and sent.
  4. The resulting position appears in your Open Positions → Copy tab and is protected by your Smart Exit rules.
Leader buys token X ──► detected live ──► your copy-buy fires ──► position opened
Leader sells token X ──► detected live ──► your copy-sell mirrors the % sold

Buy behaviour

Your buy size is fixed by you — it’s always your configured buy amount, never a blind copy of the leader’s size. This keeps your risk constant regardless of how big the leader trades.

Sell behaviour

How you exit a copied position depends on one flag:

  • Mirror mode (default). When the leader sells X% of their position, you sell the same X% of yours. If they fully exit, you fully exit.
  • Independent exits. Your Smart Exit rules can also close the position on their own (stop-loss, trailing, etc.) before the leader moves.

follow_trader_exactly only affects sells. Buys are always your fixed buy amount — the flag never makes you mirror the leader’s buy size.

Safety

  • A copy-sell only fires for tokens you actually hold from copying that leader — it can’t sell positions you opened another way.
  • Per-token spend tracking prevents a runaway leader from draining your wallet on one mint.

Tips

  • Follow leaders with a proven track record (check their stats in the Insights / wallet pages).
  • Keep your buy amount modest when following high-frequency leaders.
  • Pair copy trading with a tight Smart Exit so you’re never solely dependent on the leader to get you out.
