📌 Copy Trading FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

📊 Per-Token Purchase Limit

• Setting this value to 1 means you will only buy the token once, even if the copied trader makes multiple purchases.

• This helps control risk by preventing over-buying of a single asset.

💡 Characteristics of a Good Smart Money Address

• High win rate

• High profit multiplier

• Longer trading intervals (at least a few minutes)

• Small trade amounts (optional)

• Copying these addresses can increase your profitability.

🔍 How to Find Smart Money

• Finding smart money takes time.

• Look for popular tokens, check their profitable addresses, and paste them into WhaLeap to evaluate their profitability.

• Copy addresses from a token’s trading list and check their earnings in WhaLeap.

💰 Slippage Explained

• The current price is used as the baseline for slippage.

• If the price moves beyond the slippage range, your trade will not execute, and you will receive a slippage failure notification.

📉 RAY Slippage

• Your purchase quantity is fixed.

• If the price rises, the number of tokens you receive decreases.

• Example: At 50% slippage, you receive 50% of the tokens, but your cost becomes double (1/50% = 2x price).

🚀 PUMP Slippage

• Your token quantity is fixed, but if the price increases, the amount of SOL you spend increases.

• Example: At 150% slippage, you can pay up to 2.5x SOL (1+150% = 250%).

🛡️ MEV Attacks & Protection

• If your slippage is too high, you might suffer from an MEV attack, which increases your purchase price.

• Enabling MEV protection can prevent unnecessary losses.

📌 Copy Trading Slippage Reference Price

• The slippage for copied trades is based on the trader’s purchase price.

• Auto-retries, however, use the price at the time of trade initiation.

⚠️ Why Wasn’t a Trade Copied?

• Due to Solana node issues, some trades may not be pushed 100%.

• When PUMP’s LP is newly listed on RAY, there might not be enough liquidity for trading.

• If the copied trader buys a token right before a PUMP executes, you may fail to copy the trade.

⚡ Copy Trading Speed

• WhaLeap is the fastest copy trading bot.

• With the same 0.005 SOL gas fee, Whaleleap can complete trades within 1-2 seconds, ensuring quick and efficient execution.

🐌 Why Is My Trade Slow?

• Your gas fee might be lower than competing transactions.

• Network congestion could be slowing down the transaction.

• Auto-retry delay after a failed transaction.

💸 Why Did My Buy Amount Exceed the Trade Limit?

• PUMP logic:

  • When you buy a token on PUMP, your token amount is fixed.

  • However, if the price rises, you will spend more SOL.

  • To avoid excessive spending, set a PUMP slippage limit in copy trading settings, which controls the extra SOL you’re willing to pay.
