Leaders Mirror Lab Guardrails Modes FAQ

AI copy-trading agent

Their trades.
Your shadow follows.

Shadow watches the wallets that actually win, and the moment one of them moves, your agent mirrors the trade in your own wallet — resized to your balance, checked against your rules, and stopped cold when your limits say stop. You never hand over your keys. You never stare at a chart at 3 a.m. again.

Pick a leader worth shadowing

Every leader on the board is a real wallet with a public, unbroken track record — every entry, exit, and loss included. Shadow's agent scores them on consistency, drawdown discipline, and how their trades behave when copied at your size, not just headline returns.

The Mirror Lab

Set it up the way you would run it for real: choose a leader, size the allocation, pick how aggressively Shadow copies. The curve below replays that leader's last 90 days against your settings — then start the mirror and watch trades land live.

Mirror settings

Everything here is a rule your agent enforces on every single trade.

Balanced: follows size and exits, caps any single trade at 12% of allocation.

Agent idle — configure your mirror and start it.

Mirrored trades

Nothing yet. Start the mirror and each leader trade will appear here as your agent copies it — sized to your settings.

Copy the trader. Not their risk.

A leader can afford a 40% drawdown. Maybe you can't. Guardrails sit between the leader's trade and your wallet, and your agent checks every one of them before a single unit moves. Toggle them — these are the same switches the Mirror Lab obeys.

Drawdown stop

If your mirrored balance falls 15% from its peak, the agent stops copying and closes copied positions. A bad week for the leader never becomes a bad year for you.

Per-trade cap

No single mirrored trade may exceed 12% of your allocation in Balanced mode — even if the leader goes all-in. Oversized bets get trimmed to your size, automatically.

Slippage guard

If the price has moved more than 1.5% since the leader's fill, your agent skips the trade instead of chasing it. Late and overpriced is worse than not in at all.

Dead man's switch

If Shadow's feed goes silent or a leader's wallet behaves abnormally — sudden drains, contract changes — mirroring halts on its own and waits for you. Silence is treated as a signal, not a gap.

Three steps, then it runs itself

STEP 01

Choose your leader

Browse the board and pick a wallet whose record survives scrutiny — wins, losses, drawdowns, all of it public. Shadow's agent ranks them by how well their style copies, not by one lucky month.

STEP 02

Set the guardrails

Decide the allocation, the copy ratio, and the limits: drawdown stop, per-trade cap, slippage guard. Sign one permission from your own wallet — Shadow never holds your funds or your keys.

STEP 03

Shadow does the rest

Every leader trade is mirrored in about two seconds, sized to your balance and checked against your rules. Follow along in the feed, pause whenever you like, or hit the kill switch and it all stops.

How deep do you want to follow?

Start by watching. Move to mirroring when a leader earns your trust. Go full agent when you want Shadow hunting and copying on its own.

Questions, answered straight

Does Shadow ever hold my money or keys?

Never. You sign a single, limited permission from your own wallet that lets the agent place mirrored trades within your guardrails — nothing more. Funds stay in your wallet, the permission can be revoked in one tap, and revoking it stops all mirroring immediately.

How fast is a trade copied?

The median time from a leader's confirmed trade to your fill is about 1.9 seconds. If the price has already moved beyond your slippage guard in that window, the agent skips the trade rather than buying you a worse entry than the leader got.

What happens when my leader has a losing streak?

Your guardrails decide, not the leader's nerve. The drawdown stop halts copying and closes copied positions at the limit you set, and Shadow flags any leader whose record decays so you can rotate to a stronger one — in Prime mode, the agent does that rotation for you.

How are leaders chosen for the board?

Only wallets with a long, fully public history qualify, and the record shown is the whole record — losses and drawdowns included, nothing cherry-picked. The agent scores consistency and copyability: a trader who wins with wild size swings ranks below one whose trades still work when resized to a smaller wallet.

What does Shadow cost?

Watching is free. Mirroring costs 1% of copied profits — calculated only on gains the mirror made for you, never on your balance and never on losing trades. If the mirror doesn't profit, Shadow doesn't get paid.

Can I stop at any time?

Yes — pause mirroring, change leaders, tighten a guardrail, or hit the kill switch. Copied positions are yours and stay in your wallet; stopping the agent simply means no new trades are copied until you say otherwise.
