# Copytrade

Metabot's copytrading feature lets you mimic the trades of up to 3 wallets (10 for premium users) with high speed. Here's how it works:

**Tracking the Correct Wallet**: Always track the wallet receiving tokens. Avoid tracking wallets initiating transactions.

**Copytrade Speed**: Influenced by several factors, including how the bot interacts with mempool transactions and the transaction status of the tracked wallet.

1. **Mempool Detection**:
   * **Sniping Launches**: If the bot spots a tracked wallet targeting a yet-to-launch contract, it matches the wallet’s gas settings to buy in the same block, usually after the tracked wallet.
   * **Trading Tradable Tokens**: For transactions towards tradable contracts, Metabot adjusts its gas to either frontrun or match the tracked wallet, allowing for potentially earlier buys/sells.
2. **Gas Settings and Limitations**:
   * If frontrunning or matching gas exceeds your max gas price setting, the bot blocks the action to avoid excessive fees.
   * Frontrunning is only engaged if enabled in settings.
3. **Post-Mined Transaction Handling**:
   * Transactions not detected in mempool are captured post-mining. The bot then trades in the next block using your gas settings.
4. **Settings and Adjustments**:
   * Configure gas price, frontrun settings, and wallet tracking as per your strategy.
   * Adjust settings based on market conditions and your investment goals.

Metabot's copytrading modality offers a dynamic and responsive way to leverage market opportunities by following the moves of selected wallets, with considerations for speed, gas costs, and transaction timing.
