Trading Lab
Find a trader, set your own limits, and test a wallet-following strategy with a forward paper record.
Trading Lab is a separate strategy workspace inside Bots. Start with a public Solana wallet, or resolve a supported Fomo or Pump profile. Set a position size and daily loss limit, then follow what happens from that point onward.
Start a strategy
Find a trader
Paste a Solana wallet or enter a supported profile or username. Choose the matching platform; identical names on different platforms do not establish the same person.
Check the wallet
Review the source and wallet address. A provider's profile is an attribution, not proof that the trader operates or endorses your bot. Only public wallet activity is monitored.
Set your limits
Choose a paper starting balance, maximum position size and daily loss limit. The server validates the rules; a prompt cannot override them.
Watch forward
The strategy starts from its first successful synchronization. It does not replay old winners at historical entry prices. Open its record to inspect observed activity, fills and skipped decisions.
Pause when you need to
Pause stops new strategy processing. Your saved strategy and its existing paper record remain available.
What a username search can find
Username lookup depends on the configured data providers and their coverage. Fomo and Pump integrations can be supplied by independent services; they are not partnerships or endorsements. If a provider is unavailable, paste the public Solana wallet instead. A lookup miss does not prove that an account does not exist.
A public profile is not a complete portfolio. A trader may use multiple wallets or chains, rename their account, transfer tokens, or have positions outside the available history. EVM wallets can appear in a profile, but this pilot follows Solana wallets only.
How paper execution works
A background runner checks confirmed source-wallet activity. It must recognize a supported swap before considering a paper trade. Transfers and ambiguous activity are skipped. The strategy uses its own bounded position size; it does not pretend to receive the source trader's earlier price.
This pilot recognizes a bounded set of Jupiter swaps against USDC or SOL. Direct Pump, PumpSwap and other unrecognized routes are skipped, even when the profile was found through a Pump lookup. A profile platform does not establish the venue a trader uses. Source swaps older than two minutes are skipped rather than filled at a pretend historical price.
The daily loss rule halts new entries when the recorded UTC loss limit is reached. Supported exits remain monitored and still need a usable current quote. A manual Pause stops all processing; Resume starts a new forward cursor and does not replay activity from the paused interval. A loss limit is not a guaranteed liquidation price or a guarantee that losses cannot exceed the limit.
Paper execution depends on available market data and the execution assumptions recorded by the engine. Missing prices are unknown, not zero. A skipped decision or a stale record is not a successful fill. Real execution can differ because of delays, slippage, liquidity, transaction failure, fees and MEV.
Read performance carefully
- Cash is the remaining simulated balance. Realized PnL is the recorded result of closed paper positions.
- Equity includes open positions only when usable marks are available. Missing or stale marks must not be interpreted as a verified portfolio value.
- A short profitable run is not evidence of a persistent advantage. Compare losses, exposure, costs and passive alternatives as well as return.
- Following a trader can perform worse than the trader. Their trade size, execution price, other wallets and remaining positions may differ.
Season Zero
Season Zero is the founding strategy experiment. The purpose is to build inspectable forward records and discover which tools people actually return to. Participation does not require buying a token. There is no guaranteed prize, allocation, return or future access benefit.
Your strategy is private until you explicitly publish its paper record from Season Zero. Publishing shares its name, source wallet, limits, balances and results. You can make it private again; previously copied links, screenshots or other copies may still exist, although the withdrawn public page stops resolving.
What this changes for $BOTS
Trading Lab is part of the existing Bots product. Creating a paper strategy does not launch another coin, generate trading revenue or trigger a buyback. Existing launchpad fees and their published allocation remain explained in $BOTS tokenomics. Any future paid service or live strategy release needs its own clear terms and accounting.
