Managing Your Bots

Deploying a bot

You can start a bot from two places:

Top Traders page — click the Copy button on any wallet card
AI Picks page — click Copy next to any wallet in the top-100 list

Both take you to the same bot configuration screen. Set your sizing mode, risk controls, and mode (paper or live), then click Deploy.

Your bot appears immediately on My Bots.

The bot card

Each bot card on My Bots shows:

Field	What it means
Wallet address	The public Polymarket wallet this bot is copying
Mode chip	PAPER (amber) or LIVE (green)
Status	Active, Paused, or Stopped
P&L	Your total profit/loss since the bot was deployed
Open positions	How many positions are currently open
Win rate	Percentage of closed trades that closed in profit

Editing sizing per bot

Click any bot to open its detail view. From there you can:

Change the sizing mode and its value
Adjust risk controls (stop-loss, budget cap, etc.)
Switch between paper and live mode

Changes to sizing and risk controls apply to new trades only. Positions already open are not affected.

Pausing a bot

Pausing stops the bot from opening new trades. Any positions already open remain open and continue to be tracked until they close.

Pausing affects only your bot — it has no effect on the wallet you’re copying or on other users who may also be copying that wallet.

To pause: click the Pause button on the bot card or the bot detail page.

To resume: click Resume. The bot immediately starts copying new trades again.

Stopping a bot

Stopping is permanent. A stopped bot no longer monitors the wallet or opens new trades. It’s preserved in your bot history but cannot be resumed.

If you want to copy the same wallet again, deploy a new bot.

What happens when a wallet is de-listed

If a wallet drops off the leaderboard (e.g., it becomes money-losing), your bot keeps running. You own the decision to stop or adjust it. You’ll see a notice on the bot card that the wallet is no longer ranked.
