How to Start Copy Trading
Choose Your Mode
Bitfoot offers two modes for copy trading:
Simple Copy Trade Mode
When Simple mode is enabled, all copy trades will use default settings and a common fixed amount for your trades.
Advanced Copy Trade Mode
Advanced mode allows you to set additional parameters for the copy trade.
Setting Copy Trade in Simple Mode
Adjust the Amount
Click on the Amount SOL: button
Enter the amount in SOL you wish to copy trade with
How Auto Buying and Selling Works
This amount is always used to mimic trades.
If the followed wallet buys tokens for 6 SOL, Bitfoot will only buy 0.1 SOL.
Bitfoot will always sell based on the proportions of the followed wallet.
If the followed wallet sells tokens for 3 SOL, Bitfoot will also sell proportionally for 0.05 SOL.
Settings Tips:
Slippage
Main Menu > Settings > Defaults
In the Default settings set slippage to 30-35%. This will make sure your transctions will go smoothly even on very frequented tokens.
Tip/Priority Fee
Main Menu > Settings > Defaults
In the Default settings, set the Tip/Priority fee to 0.001 SOL. This tip should be enough for your transactions to go among the first ones and thus capture a better price.
Setting Copy Trade in Advanced Mode
Add Wallet
Click on the Add Wallet button
Assign a unique name to your target wallet.
Enter the target wallet address to copy trade.
Toggle on Copy Buys and/or Copy Sells to copy the swaps of the target wallet
Amount Multiplier Range for Default Range mode is configured in Copytrade > Copytrade Settings.
You can choose between a fixed amount or a custom range for the amount you want to copy the trade with.
You can set more various settings such as amount mode (fixed or custom range), if you want to copy trade only buys or sells, front running buys and sells, minimum and maximum original transaction amount and maximum SOL you want to spend per transaction.
Click Confirm Add button to create and activate the Copy Trade.
Copy Trading FAQ
1. How can I troubleshoot slow execution or high slippage in my copy trades?
If trades are executing too slowly, consider increasing your gas/tip settings for faster processing.
To manage slippage, adjust your slippage tolerance to better fit the market conditions and your risk comfort level. Start with an increase of 3-5% if you’re seeing failures, then dial it back by 1-2% increments until you find a stable setting.
2. What should I do if my copy trades are failing due to "slippage exceeded"?
Increase your slippage settings in the copy trading module gradually until trades go through reliably. Adjust by increments of 3-5% if necessary, then decrease in 1-2% steps to minimize slippage without causing failures.
3. Why is my copy trade execution so slow?
Double-check your gas/tip settings; a tip of around 0.0075 or higher is usually recommended. Additionally, verify that you’re not attempting to copy a "sniper" (see below) as their fast-paced trades are often unmatchable for most users. Use tools like Dexscreener to see when the wallet you’re copying places trades. If they’re executing within the first few seconds of a new block, they are likely using sniper tactics.
4. My copy trades aren’t working—what should I check?
First, make sure you’ve activated the copy trade module by clicking Add and have set up the correct target wallet.
Use solscan.io to verify that your target wallet is trading in supported pools. Check bellow.
Ensure that you’re not trying to copy a sniper or a wallet using custom programs (see below). If you see “Interact with System Program” in the transaction history, that wallet is not compatible with standard copy trading.
5. Why can’t I copy a sniper?
Snipers use high-frequency trading bots that send hundreds or thousands of transactions per second, making them difficult to replicate. They often rely on custom programs and typically buy at the very bottom of a price movement, only to quickly sell at the peak—leaving copiers as "exit liquidity." Trying to copy a sniper usually results in buying at the top and selling at a loss.
6. Why can’t I copy wallets using custom programs?
Custom programs can’t be copied due to potential security risks. They might fake transactions or use methods designed to exploit copy-trading bots. In most cases, if a custom program is involved, only sells will be copiable, which could lead to unbalanced trading behavior. To avoid this, stick to wallets using standard trading setups.
Advanced Copy Trade Settings Explained
Amount Multiplier Range Min
Sets the minimum multiplier for the amount of SOL (Solana) the bot will trade relative to its base amount. This defines the smallest possible scaling factor for trade size.
Amount Multiplier Range Max
Sets the maximum multiplier for the amount of SOL the bot will trade relative to its base amount. This defines the largest possible scaling factor for trade size.
Amount Multiplier Range
Displays the current range of multipliers applied to trade amounts, defined by
Amount Multiplier Range MinandAmount Multiplier Range Max.
Max SOL Amount Spent per Tx
Specifies the maximum amount of SOL the bot is allowed to spend per transaction. This limits the maximum exposure or risk on any single trade.
Min Pool Liquidity SOL
Defines the minimum liquidity requirement (in SOL) for a trading pool before the bot will execute a trade. Helps avoid low-liquidity pools, which are more prone to price slippage and manipulation.
Slippage Copytrade
Sets the maximum allowable slippage percentage specifically for copytrading. This controls how much price movement the bot will tolerate when mimicking another trade, ensuring that the copied trade still aligns with acceptable risk limits.
Max Same Token Purchases Count
Limits how many times the bot can buy the same token. For example, if set to 1, the bot will only purchase a token once, avoiding repeated buys of the same asset during active copytrading. Helps manage overexposure to a single token.
Max Token % Holding
Specifies the maximum percentage of your portfolio that can be allocated to a single token. When enabled, the bot will not exceed this limit during trades, allowing for better portfolio diversification and risk control. Default: Disabled – no limit is applied unless manually set.
