Follow Along First week trying copy trading. small wins, small mistakes

[Amorcito]

Started with 0.15 SOL trades using the free dbot.
Had 2 small wins and 1 loss from a wallet I shouldn’t have trusted. Still testing setups. anyone else using dbot? Curious how you scale up responsibly.

Love this honesty. I’m running a 30day challenge too and made a bunch of mistakes early. Best advice? Set stop loss early and scale only after at least 10 test trades.

Yes I've been using dbot for a long time. I started with 0.2 sol buy and increased to 0.5 sol buy and 1 sol buy was my maximum buy amount.
I'm now back to 0.5 sol buy since the market is a bit slow at the moment. But I believe the bull market is coming soon.
One thing I want to say is: never fully trust any wallet — even if it made you profits in the past.
Any good wallet can turn into a dumper and start farming on you.
You just never know. Always stay cautious and monitor your trades frequently, even if you're doing automated copy trading.

That’s really helpful. thanks for the insight.

Yeah, I definitely learned the hard way about trusting wallets too quickly. That one loss came from rushing to copy a wallet that had a good 24h ROI, but the behavior was off (fast in/out, weird buy size). Won’t make that mistake again.

Appreciate you sharing your scaling approach too. I’ll keep building slowly and try to stay sharp on monitoring. Hoping I can dial in a safer rhythm before I even think about hitting 0.5 SOL per trade.
