Quick Start Guide
📖 3 min read🗓 Updated Apr 2026
Get your first copy-trading bot running in under 5 minutes. Follow these steps and you'll be mirroring top Polymarket traders in real-time.
1
Create Account
Sign up at polyedge.online with your email. A non-custodial Polygon wallet is automatically created for you — no MetaMask required.
2
Fund Your Wallet
Send USDC on Polygon network to your wallet address (shown on the Wallet page). Minimum recommended: $50 USDC. Do not send on Ethereum mainnet.
3
Pick a Trader
Go to Copy Trading → Leaderboard. Sort by Win Rate. Click on any trader to see their full history, markets, and recent trades.
4
Configure Your Bot
Set your budget (USDC), copy ratio (0.1 = 10% of trader's size), and stop-loss %. Start with Paper mode to test risk-free.
5
Go Live
Switch to Live mode when confident. Your bot checks for new trades every 30 seconds and executes automatically.
💡
Start with Paper mode for at least 7 days. This builds confidence and lets you validate the trader's current performance before risking real funds.
What happens next?
Once your bot is live, PolyEdge continuously monitors your copied trader's Polymarket wallet. When they enter a new position, your bot places a proportional order within seconds. When they exit, you exit too — automatically.
⚠
Polymarket trades are irreversible on-chain. Always set a stop-loss to limit downside. Never allocate more than you can afford to lose.
