Copy Trading & Whale Tracking
Copy trading lets you automatically mirror trades from successful wallets. When a tracked wallet buys or sells, your wallet can execute the same trade. See live whale activity on our whale tracker.
How Copy Trading Works
- Add wallet addresses you want to track
- Wallet Bot monitors their transactions in real-time
- When they trade, you get an instant signal
- Choose to copy manually or automatically
🐋 Why track whales? Successful traders and insiders often know about tokens before the public. Following smart money can give you an edge.
Adding Wallets to Track
Step 1: Open Shadow Trades Panel
In your dashboard, find the Shadow Trades panel or create one using the Strategy Builder. Click the "Wallets" tab.
Step 2: Add a Wallet Address
- Click "+Add Wallet"
- Paste the Solana wallet address you want to track
- Give it a nickname (e.g., "Whale #1", "Insider Wallet")
- Click "Track"
Step 3: Configure Tracking Options
- Track buys - Get alerts when they buy tokens
- Track sells - Get alerts when they sell
- Min trade size - Only alert for trades above this SOL amount
- Token filters - Exclude certain tokens or categories
Finding Profitable Wallets to Track
Not sure which wallets to track? Read our complete whale tracking guide or check the whale tracker for active wallets. Here's how to find good candidates:
🔍 Solscan/Solana Explorer
Look at top holders of tokens that pumped. Check their transaction history to see if they consistently buy early.
📊 DEX Analytics
Sites like Birdeye and DEXScreener show top traders. Look for wallets with consistent profits across multiple tokens.
🐦 Crypto Twitter
Some traders share their wallet addresses. Verify their claims by checking actual on-chain performance.
🏆 Leaderboards
Trading competitions and PnL leaderboards reveal skilled traders. Track their wallets to learn from their moves.
⚠️ Warning: Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Even successful wallets can make losing trades. Always use proper risk management.

- Consider timing - Whales may have different time horizons than you
- Use small sizes - Test with minimal amounts until you trust a wallet
