What is the delay between a whale trade and my copy?

The typical delay between a whale's trade and your auto-copy execution is 1-3 seconds. This includes detection time (1-2 seconds), our AI analysis pass, and the time it takes for your copy trade to be submitted and confirmed on-chain.

In practice, this delay is small enough that you'll usually get a very similar entry price to the whale. However, in fast-moving or low-liquidity markets, the price can shift between the whale's trade and yours — this is called slippage.

Network congestion on Polygon can occasionally add a few extra seconds. During these rare periods, trading.bot queues your trade and submits it as soon as conditions allow.
