PredictDog Telegram bot copy trading wizard steps

The wizard walks you through setup in 5 steps:

Step 1 — Enter trader address Paste the Polymarket wallet address of the trader you want to copy.

Step 2 — Choose copy mode

  • Fixed amount — copy each trade with a set USDC.e amount
  • Percentage-based — copy each trade as a percentage of the leader's position size

Step 3 — Set copy amount Enter the fixed USDC.e amount or percentage ratio (e.g. 0.1 = 10% of the leader's size).

Step 4 — Optional settings Configure any combination of:

  • Event filter — restrict the task to a specific event ID (leave unset to follow all activity)
  • Task TP / Task SL — take profit and stop loss as realized PnL percentage thresholds
  • Spending limit — cap total USDC.e the task can spend
  • Order type — Market Order or Limit Order for copied trades

See Copy Trading for how TP/SL work at the task level.

Step 5 — Review and confirm Review the full task configuration and confirm to activate.

Task management commands​

:::note TODO Add screenshot of /listcopy output (tg-bot-copy-trading-tasks.png) — active task list with trader address and status. :::

Once a copy task is running, use these commands to manage it:

/listcopy Lists all active and stopped copy trading tasks, including trader address, mode, amount, and current status.

/stopcopy <address> Stops copying the trader at the given address across all markets.

/stopcopy <address> <event_id> Stops copying the trader only for a specific event, leaving other copy tasks for that trader intact.

What stopping a task does​

Stopping a copy task — whether manually, by take profit, or by stop loss — does not automatically close any copied positions. Existing open positions remain open until you or the followed trader closes them through normal trading flow.

Web vs. Telegram for task management​

Telegram is useful for quick task creation and status checks. The web terminal is better for reviewing realized task progress, budget usage, and task stop reasons.
