How Cheetah Copy Trading Works
Cheetah copy trading: mirror buys/optional sells, amount, slots, settings.
In Cheetah, copy trading watches a wallet you choose and mirrors its buys, and optionally its sells, from your embedded wallet, using a fixed SOL amount per trade and controls you set for slippage and priority fee. You run wallets across copy slots. Results differ from the copied wallet, and copying does not guarantee profit.
Key takeaways
- Cheetah copy trading mirrors a chosen wallet’s buys, with mirroring sells as an optional setting.
- Each copied trade uses a fixed SOL amount you set, not the leader’s exact position size.
- You can run multiple copy slots at once, each following a different wallet with its own settings.
- Slippage and priority fee are configurable so copied trades still land in fast memecoin markets.
- You copy losing trades as readily as winning ones; wallet choice and sizing matter most.
What copy trading does in Cheetah
Copy trading lets you follow another wallet so you do not have to watch the chart every second. In Cheetah you pick a wallet, set your rules, and the platform mirrors that wallet’s memecoin buys, and optionally its sells, from your own embedded wallet. It is built for fast Solana markets, where opportunities appear and vanish in minutes. For the broader concept beyond Cheetah, read our memecoin copy trading guide.
Be precise about what it is: an automation tool that replicates supported trades. It is not a managed fund, a guarantee of profit, or financial advice.
How the mirroring works
Once you assign a wallet to a copy slot, Cheetah:
- Watches the target wallet on-chain for qualifying buy (and optionally sell) activity.
- Places a matching trade from your embedded wallet using your fixed SOL amount per trade.
- Applies your settings, slippage tolerance, priority fee, and whether sells are mirrored.
- Submits the order subject to live network conditions, so it may land at a slightly different price.
Because your transaction is separate from theirs, entry and exit prices will not match exactly. Price movement between their trade and yours, slippage on low-liquidity tokens, congestion, and occasional failed transactions all make your results diverge.
Fixed amount and copy slots
Rather than trying to match the leader’s exact position size, Cheetah uses a fixed SOL amount per trade that you choose, so your exposure per copied trade is predictable. You can run multiple copy slots at once, each following a different wallet with its own configuration, letting you diversify who you mirror without micromanaging every entry.
Settings you control
The controls that define your exposure
Your settings decide your risk: the fixed SOL amount per copied trade, whether sells are mirrored, your slippage tolerance, and your priority fee. Larger per-trade amounts raise both potential gains and potential losses. Higher slippage helps trades fill in fast markets but can worsen your price; a higher priority fee helps orders land during congestion. See the copy trading feature for the full set.
Limits and risks
Copy trading reduces effort, not risk. You mirror losing trades as readily as winning ones, a wallet’s past performance does not predict its future, and its style can change without warning. Every mirrored trade is a real trade: it pays the 0.5% fee (0.4% referred, $0.95 USD minimum) plus Solana network, priority and slippage costs, so frequently copying an active wallet means frequent fees. Consider pairing copy trading with your own stop-loss and take-profit so a bad run does not compound.
Getting started
New to the platform? Start with getting started with Cheetah to fund a wallet and place your first trade, then use the wallet tracker and smart-money alerts to evaluate a wallet before you commit real SOL to mirroring it. When you are ready, open the copy trading feature, add a wallet to a slot, set a small fixed amount, and monitor how it behaves.
Frequently asked questions
How does copy trading work in Cheetah?
Cheetah watches a wallet you choose on-chain and mirrors its buys, and optionally its sells, from your embedded wallet. Each copied trade uses a fixed SOL amount you set, with your own slippage and priority-fee settings, and you can run several wallets across copy slots.
Does Cheetah copy the wallet’s sells too?
Mirroring sells is optional. You can turn it on to also copy the wallet’s exits, or leave it off and manage your own exits with stop-loss and take-profit. Mirroring buys is the core of copy trading.
How much does each copied trade use?
You set a fixed SOL amount per copied trade, so your exposure is controlled and does not try to match the leader’s exact position size. Start small while you evaluate how a wallet behaves.
Will my results match the wallet I copy?
No. Your trade fires after the leader’s is detected on-chain, so entry prices differ, and slippage, fees and occasional failed transactions push your outcome away from theirs. You copy losing trades as readily as winning ones.
