# Copy Trade A copy subscription combines: * One target wallet. * One of your Kage wallets. * A set of copy-trading rules. Open the copy configuration page and select **New** to create a subscription. ### **Basic Configuration** | **Field** | **Meaning** | **Notes** | | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | Target address | Wallet address to copy. | Enter a 0x... address or a Polymarket profile link. | | Wallet | Your wallet used to place copied trades. | Defaults to your default wallet. | | Tag | Strategy tag such as Politics, Sports, or Test. | Useful for filtering and bulk operations. | | Buy amount mode | Proportional or fixed. | Determines how copied order size is calculated. | ### **Proportional vs. Fixed Sizing** | **Mode** | **Meaning** | **Best For** | | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Proportional | If the target buys 100 USDC and your ratio is 10 percent, Kage buys 10 USDC. | Following the target's conviction and position sizing. | | Fixed amount | Kage buys the same amount regardless of target size. | Keeping risk stable and preventing whale trades from dominating your account. | If a calculated copied order is below the Polymarket minimum, Kage can raise it to the platform minimum when configured. For small accounts, proportional sizing with strict caps is usually safer than uncapped copying. ### **Advanced Buy Filters** All fields are optional. Empty fields mean no limit. | **Field** | **Meaning** | **Example Use** | | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Ignore buys below X | Skip target trades smaller than this amount. | Filter dust or test trades, such as below 5 or 10 USDC. | | Ignore buys above X | Skip target trades larger than this amount. | Avoid copying whale-sized trades. | | Min buy price | Skip if target price is below this value. | Avoid very low-probability positions. | | Max buy price | Skip if target price is above this value. | Avoid near-settlement prices with limited upside. | | Min per trade | Raise copied amount to this value if smaller. | Ensure orders meet platform minimums. | | Max per trade | Cap each copied buy. | Hard single-trade limit. | | Max per outcome | Limit cumulative exposure to one outcome token. | Prevent over-accumulation of one Yes or No position. | | Max per market | Limit total exposure to one market across outcomes. | Broader cap than outcome-level exposure. | | Total spend cap | Limit the historical exposure of this subscription. | Stops copying when the cap is reached. | | Max concurrent markets | Limit the number of markets held at the same time. | New markets are skipped when the limit is reached. | | 5/15-min initial buy window (sec) | The "Sniper" or early-entry mode. | If you set this to `60s`, your bot will **ONLY** copy trades made within the **first 60 seconds** after the market opens. Any trades made by the target wallet after the first 60 seconds will be ignored. | | 5/15-min final buy window (sec) | The "Last-Minute" or late-entry mode. | If you set this to `60s`, your bot will **ONLY** copy trades made when there are **less than 60 seconds left** before the market closes. Any trades made earlier in the market will be ignored. | ### **Buy and Sell Order Settings** Buy and sell behavior can be configured separately. | **Field** | **Meaning** | **Recommended Default** | | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | Order mode | Market or limit. | Market for copy trading. | | Slippage | Maximum allowed slippage for market orders. | 3% | | Limit price offset | Adds or subtracts from the target price in limit mode. | Advanced users only. | | Expiration | Time before a limit order is canceled. | Optional. | | Convert to market after expiration | If enabled, unfilled expired limit orders convert to market orders. | Recommended if missing trades is worse than paying more. | Example setup: * Buy with market orders for fast entry. * Sell with limit orders and a custom price offset if you want more controlled exits. ### **Take Profit and Stop Loss** Kage supports take-profit and stop-loss rules based on percentage or fixed price. | **Rule** | **Example** | **Meaning** | | -------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Take profit by percent | TP +20 percent | Sell when price rises 20 percent above your entry cost. | | Stop loss by percent | SL -30 percent | Sell when price falls 30 percent below your entry cost. | | Take profit by fixed price | TP 0.95 | Sell when price reaches 0.95 USDC per share. | Leave TP and SL empty to follow the target's exit behavior without your own automatic exit layer. Beginner recommendation: start with TP/SL disabled, observe how the target exits positions, then decide whether to add your own controls. ### **Balance-Based Pauses** | **Field** | **Meaning** | **Notes** | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- | | Pause above balance | Pause when wallet balance is greater than or equal to this amount. | Useful for locking in gains. | | Pause below balance | Pause when wallet balance is less than or equal to this amount. | Recommended to prevent continued losses. | ### **Save and Run** After saving: 1. A new subscription card appears on the copy configuration page. 2. Its status is usually **Running** by default. 3. The next eligible target trade can trigger a copied trade. 4. Results appear on the Records page. You can pause, edit, or delete a subscription at any time. Deleting a subscription does not close existing positions. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
