You'll need to configure the following parameters:

**Wallet Selection**

* **💰 Source Wallet**: Enter the wallet address of the trader you want to copy
* **👛 Follower Wallet**: Select which of your wallets will execute the copy trades

**Copy Method**

Choose from three available methods:

**Method 2 - Fixed Margin**

  * **Initial Margin Cap (optional)**: Total margin limit across all positions
  * **Min. Margin per Order (optional)**: Minimum margin required to open a position
  * **Max. Margin per Order**: Maximum margin allowed per individual order

**Method 3 (Mirror)**

* Mirrors the exact position sizes of the source wallet (scaled by percentage)
* Requires setting:
  * **Scale %**: Percentage of source wallet position size to replicate (e.g., 100% = same size, 50% = half size)

For detailed explanations of each method, see:

**Risk Management**

* **🛑 Stop Loss %**: Set a percentage-based stop loss for all copied positions (0 = disabled)
* **🎯 Take Profit %**: Set a percentage-based take profit target for all copied positions (0 = disabled)

**Trading Direction**

* **🔄 COPY ALL**: Copy both long and short positions
* **🟢 COPY LONG**: Only copy long positions
* **🔴 COPY SHORT**: Only copy short positions

**Advanced Filters**

### Important Notes

> ⚠️ **Capital Requirements**: Ensure your follower wallet has sufficient balance to execute copy trades based on your margin settings.

> 💡 **Pro Tip**: Start with conservative margin limits and gradually increase as you gain confidence in the source wallet's trading strategy.

> 🔍 **Due Diligence**: Always research and verify the trading performance of any wallet before copying their trades.
