# Copy-Trading (Coming Soon)

> **Status:** Planned feature – not yet available in production.\
> The details below describe the intended direction and may change as the product evolves.

Copy‑trading will extend Recon from **analytics & discovery** into **execution‑oriented tooling**, letting you **mirror the trades of top-rated Polymarket traders** across categories while keeping control over your risk.

### What Copy‑Trading on Recon Aims to Do

At a high level, copy‑trading is intended to:

* Let you **choose traders** (based on Smart Scores, ROI, win rate, category specialization, etc.).
* Allow you to **allocate capital** per trader (e.g. “up to X per market” or “Y total for this trader”).
* Automatically **replicate their trades** on Polymarket, subject to your personal limits and settings.
* Provide **transparent reporting** on which trades were copied, how they performed, and fees (if any).

The goal is to make it possible to **systematically tail smart money** instead of manually replicating every move.

### Expected User Flow (Subject to Change)

A likely high‑level flow:

1. **Open the Copy‑Trading section** in Recon once it’s live.
2. **Browse traders** eligible for copy‑trading, with Smart Scores and key metrics visible.
3. **Select a trader** you want to copy.
4. Configure **risk parameters**, such as:
   * Maximum stake per trade
   * Maximum total allocation
   * Categories you’re willing to copy (e.g. politics only)
5. Review a **summary of the strategy** and confirm.
6. Recon will begin **mirroring supported trades** from that trader according to your rules.
7. Use an **activity / performance view** to see which trades were copied and how they’re doing.

Exact screens, parameter names, and supported behaviors will be defined by the live implementation.

### Best Practices

When copy‑trading is enabled, keep in mind:

* **Do not outsource thinking entirely.** Copy‑trading is a *tool*, not an autopilot guarantee.
* Start with **small allocations** until you understand how a given trader behaves.
* Prefer traders with:
  * Higher Smart Scores
  * Deep history
  * Consistent performance in a category you understand
* Diversify across **multiple traders and categories** instead of going all‑in on one wallet.
