Copy a strategy
Fund a bounded permission, follow its actual decisions, and release its remaining budget.
Open Strategies from Automate. Review the strategy's runner, history, fee, playbook and hard caps. Copy takes its chosen side; fade takes the opposite side on the same Window. Your own order can land at a different price or be refused.
Enable a copy
- Take a funded DevNet seat and open the strategy's copy drawer.
- Choose Copy or Fade.
- Enter Total budget and Most per trade. The per-trade amount must fit both your budget and the creator's cap.
- Read the full permission, including daily spend, open positions, price ceiling, expiry and subscription fee. Check the strip showing what the setup takes from your seat.
- Choose Fund permission and copy. Wait for both the budget grant and subscription to complete.
Hosted check — 8 October 2026: after the creator's publication attempt timed out, Copy showed No strategies published yet and No confirmed copy-trades yet. There was no item to select. No copy grant or funding was performed.
Setup moves a budget into an AgentGrant naming the runner, then subscribes you and charges the displayed fee. If a step is uncertain, let the app reconcile it. Check the receipt and current permission before starting another setup.
The ledger's grant choice checks budget, per-trade spend, daily spend, open-position count and any entry-price limit. The runner can spend the allocated budget on positions for its owner; it cannot withdraw that budget to itself. A funded grant is an authorization, not evidence that a trade has occurred.
Follow and stop
The strategy can consider eligible Windows across the live lanes. Closed sessions, unavailable prices, a missing model, insufficient depth or an exhausted cap can produce a hold instead of a fill. Read the decision and its transaction separately.
- Add budget without changing limits tops up the existing grant while retaining its spend accounting.
- Pause future copies revokes the grant and ends the subscription. Unspent budget returns; existing positions keep their settlement rules.
- A seat holds one strategy permission at a time. Copying another strategy replaces it.
- A different runner needs a new authorization. A listing changing its runner does not silently transfer the old grant.
Review fees again on a resume or limits change: a subscription can charge again. Creator fees, when available, have a separate Claim to your seat action on the creator's strategy card. A missing runner or empty recent-trades list is not a successful copy trade. See Status for current service checks.
