🧭 Olympus Sample Copy Trading Settings
This page gives you example copy trading settings for different styles of trading on Olympus.
These are not magic numbers or one-size-fits-all presets. They are meant to help you start with a setup that matches your risk tolerance, trading pace, and market preference.
Use them as a starting point, then adjust based on your own balance, goals, and experience.
💡 Before You Copy These Settings
A good wallet setup should match:
- your account size
- your risk tolerance
- the type of wallets you follow
- how active or selective you want your bot to be
A setup that works well for a slow macro trader can be terrible for a fast sports or high-frequency wallet.
If you're new, start more conservatively than you think you need.
💰 Example Assumptions
The examples below assume:
- Account size: around
$10,000 - Max Trade Size: usually around
5%of account value or less - You are using wallet-specific filters
- You may need to adjust these settings upward or downward based on the trader you follow
- Maximum Price Deviation (%) can use your global default or a wallet-specific override
If your balance is much smaller or larger, your settings should usually scale with it.
🟢 Conservative Macro Trader
Long-hold, lower-frequency copying for political, macro, or slower-moving markets.
Best for: Users who want steadier exposure, fewer trades, and tighter control over position sizing.
Suggested Settings
- Ratio %:
0.5% - Max Trade Size (USD):
$500 - Max Market Size (USD):
$1,000 - Minimum Trigger Amount (USD):
$1,000 - Max Open Markets:
10 - Max Trades / Market:
2 - Skip Markets Expiring After (days):
30-90 - Minimum Odds (%):
15 - Maximum Odds (%):
90 - Maximum Price Deviation (%):
3-5
Limit Buy Mode: Usually optional. It can help with entry quality, but slower-moving wallets often work fine without it.
Why this works: This setup is built to avoid overtrading, ignore noise, and keep sizing controlled in markets where trades tend to be more thesis-driven.
🟡 Event or Sports Trader
Medium-frequency copying for sports, event-driven, or faster-resolving markets.
Best for: Users who want more activity than macro trading, but still want reasonable guardrails.
Suggested Settings
- Ratio %:
0.25% - Max Trade Size (USD):
$500 - Max Market Size (USD):
$1,000-$1,500 - Minimum Trigger Amount (USD):
$2,000 - Max Open Markets:
7 - Max Trades / Market:
3 - Skip Markets Expiring After (days):
7-21 - Minimum Odds (%):
20 - Maximum Odds (%):
85 - Maximum Price Deviation (%):
4-6
Limit Buy Mode: Often worth testing, especially in thinner or fast-moving event markets.
Why this works: This profile gives you more flexibility for active event trading while still limiting churn and avoiding very small or low-quality entries.
🔵 Active Trader
Higher-frequency copying for wallets that enter often, scale in, or trade shorter-term setups.
Best for: More advanced users who understand slippage, missed fills, and execution trade-offs.
Suggested Settings
- Ratio %:
0.1% - Max Trade Size (USD):
$100-$250 - Max Market Size (USD):
$500 - Minimum Trigger Amount (USD):
$500 - Max Open Markets:
5 - Max Trades / Market:
3-5 - Skip Markets Expiring After (days):
1-7 - Minimum Odds (%):
40 - Maximum Odds (%):
65 - Minimum Liquidity (USD):
$10,000+ - Minimum 24h Volume (USD):
$5,000+ - Maximum Price Deviation (%):
5-8
Limit Buy Mode: Often helpful. If you copy active traders without price protection, slippage can add up quickly.
Limit Sell Mode: Use carefully. If you enable it, keep the sell timeout short.
Why this works: This setup is designed to stay selective, reduce slippage risk, and avoid getting dragged into too many weak or noisy markets.
🟣 Conviction Trader
Lower-frequency copying for larger directional trades and stronger conviction entries.
Best for: Users who want exposure to bigger thesis trades without letting one wallet dominate the whole account.
Suggested Settings
- Ratio %:
0.3-0.5% - Max Trade Size (USD):
$500 - Max Market Size (USD):
$1,000-$1,500 - Minimum Trigger Amount (USD):
$3,000+ - Max Open Markets:
5 - Max Trades / Market:
1-2 - Minimum Odds (%):
25 - Maximum Odds (%):
75 - Maximum Price Deviation (%):
4-6
Limit Buy Mode: Optional, but useful when you want cleaner entries on larger trades.
Why this works: This profile is meant to participate in strong trades without overexposing your balance to one leader, one market, or one idea.
⚠️ A Few Practical Rules
- Start with a lower Ratio % than feels exciting.
- Always set a Max Market Size (USD).
- Use Maximum Price Deviation (%) to protect against bad fills, but remember that setting it too tight can cause missed entries, especially on market buys.
- Use Minimum Trigger Amount (USD) to filter out tiny leader trades.
- High-frequency wallets usually need stricter filters than slower wallets.
- If you enable Limit Buy Mode or Limit Sell Mode, expect different fill behavior than standard copying.
🎯 Final Note
These examples are meant to help you get started faster, not replace judgment.
The best settings depend on the wallet you follow, the market category, and how much execution risk you are willing to accept. Start simple, stay conservative, and adjust over time as you learn how your bot behaves.
