# Copytrade Buys

To activate the copytrade feature in Metabot, follow these steps:

Type `/sniper` to open the main menu, as shown in Figure 1.

Choose 'Copytrade' to access the relevant menu, displayed in Figure 18.

\
In Metabot's copytrade menu, focus on two key options:

1. **ON/OFF**: This global toggle switches copytrading on or off.
2. **Add Wallet**: Lets you add and track up to two wallets.

Once a wallet is added, a new row appears in the menu, as seen in Figure 19.

In Metabot's copytrade feature:

1. **Removing a Wallet**: Use the ❌ button to remove a tracked wallet.
2. **Configuring a Wallet**: Clicking on a wallet opens its Copytrade configuration menu (Figure 20).

#### Copytrade Settings

* The configuration menu is similar to the call channel menu (Figure 11), minus the Track button.
* Tracking is auto-enabled for added wallets when the toggle in Figures 18 and 19 is ON (🟢).

In Metabot's Copytrade menu (Figure 20), four key buttons are essential for automated copytrading:

1. **✅ Auto Buy**:
   * Enable this for the bot to auto buy when the tracked wallet makes a purchase.
   * Must be activated both here and in your wallet settings.
   * Pair with a specified ✏️Buy Amount for effective operation.
2. **✏️ Buy Amount**:
   * Sets the maximum auto buy amount.
   * If the tracked wallet's buy is less than your set amount, the bot matches it; if more, the bot buys up to your set limit.
   * Protects against large, unaffordable purchases from whale wallets you’re tracking.
3. **✅ Frontrun**:
   * Determines if you want to frontrun (buy/sell before) the tracked wallet.
   * Higher gwei is used for frontrunning; matching gwei is used otherwise.
   * Works in conjunction with your wallet’s gas price/delta settings.
4. **✅ Blind Follow**:
   * Overrides normal transaction origin checks.
   * Useful for tracking wallets with unconventional transaction methods but increases risk of spoofed transactions.

#### Additional Settings:

* **✏️Gas Price/Delta**, **✏️Slippage**, **🌐Smart Slippage**: Override wallet settings specifically for copytrade buys, similar to Call Channels section.

#### Copytrade Detection:

* After a tracked wallet's buy, you get a notification and buy menu (Figure 21).
* Manual buys use your wallet's gas and slippage settings.
* Triggering a buy, manually or automatically, opens a Trade Monitor (like Figure 13).
* You can then manually sell, copy the tracked wallet’s sell, or use autosell.

This section offers a comprehensive guide to setting up and utilizing Metabot's copytrade modality, allowing you to efficiently follow and mimic the trades of other wallets.
