Browse and Follow a Pilot
Picking the right pilot is the most important decision in Pilot Mode. This page walks through how to read a pilot's profile and how to start your first follow.
Step 1: Open the Pilot's Profile
From the Pilots page (Browse tab), click any pilot card. You land on their profile.
The profile is your full picture of how the pilot has performed and what they trade.
Step 2: Read the Stats
The top of the profile shows three headline stats:
| Stat | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| Win rate, 30d | Percentage of trades that closed profitable in the last 30 days. Above 90% is excellent. Anything below 70% means you should look closely at the loss column. |
| 30d profit | Gross dollars the pilot has generated over their own trading in the last 30 days. Bigger number is better, but always read it together with how much capital they were trading. |
| Followers | How many other users currently follow this pilot. Crowds are not always right, but a pilot with zero followers also has no peer validation. |
A small trade count under the win rate tells you the sample size. A 100% win rate over 3 trades is not the same as 95% over 80 trades. Prefer pilots with enough volume to make the rate meaningful.
Step 3: Read the Performance Chart
Below the headline stats is a 30-day performance chart. It shows daily profit and loss over the last month.
What to look for:
- Consistency: do they grind out positive days regularly, or do a few big wins carry the rest?
- Drawdowns: how deep are the losing days? A pilot who occasionally loses big needs a follower with a strong stomach.
- Best day and Worst day: shown beneath the chart. The gap between them tells you about volatility.
Step 4: Check Recent Trades
Scroll down to Recent trades. This is a live feed of the pilot's own activity. You see the markets they target, the products they go for, and the outcomes.
If a pilot's recent trades look like one product type repeatedly, that is their specialty. If they look chaotic, that is their style too.
Step 5: Confirm the Pilot Is Accepting Followers
In the pilot's status badge near their name you will see one of:
- Accepting followers: ready to be followed.
- Warmup, opens soon: not yet open. The action button shows "Notify when open" (disabled). Come back later.
- Following, since [date]: you already follow them. Skip to Manage Your Follows.
Step 6: Click Follow This Pilot
The orange Follow this pilot button is in the top right of the profile.
Click it. A modal opens.
Step 7: Set Your Follow Amount
The follow modal shows:
- Amount to follow with: the field where you type your starting amount.
- Min: the minimum follow amount for this pilot, shown next to the field.
- Quick chips: $25, $50, $100, Max. Tap one to fill the field instantly.
- Available in main balance: how much you currently have available.
Start Small for Your First Follow
You can always top up later. A first follow at the minimum or a small amount lets you watch how the pilot trades against your wallet before committing more capital.
Step 8: Confirm and Start
Click Start following.
The amount you chose is moved from your Main Wallet into your follow wallet for that pilot. The platform takes a snapshot of the pilot's current strategy and assigns it to your follow.
From the next trading session onward, the strategy runs against your follow wallet.
What You See After Following
- The pilot's profile updates. The orange action button is replaced with + Topup and Unfollow.
- A "Following since [date]" badge appears.
- The Your recent mirrors panel appears below the chart, ready to show your trades as they happen.
- A My Follows tab appears on the main Pilots page.
You are now in Pilot Mode. The next time a trading session opens, you will start to see activity on your follow wallet.
If Something Goes Wrong
- The Follow button is disabled. The pilot is in warmup. Wait for the status to switch to "Accepting followers".
- Insufficient balance error. You need at least the amount you entered in your Main Wallet. Make a deposit or move a smaller amount.
- Below minimum error. The amount you entered is less than the pilot's min entry. Use one of the chips or check the min displayed in the modal.
- At capacity error. This pilot has hit their follower cap. Try a different pilot or check back later.
