Automating Alpha: The One Owl Copy-Trade Workflow

Written by One Owl Team

The Problem: F.O.M.O.

Fear Of Missing Out isn't just an emotion; it's a tax on your attention. You cannot watch 50 markets 24/7. But a bot can.

Step 1: The "Alpha List" Curation

Spend 2 hours this Sunday. Go through the leaderboards. Find 5-10 traders who trade the way you want to trade. Are they aggressive? Conservative? Niche-focused? Build your "Board of Directors" via their wallet addresses.

Step 2: The "Set and Forget" Setup

Go to One Owl's Track page. Input your Alpha List. Turn on "Position Changes". Sync it to your Telegram or Discord.

Crucial: Do not just copy blindly. The notification is a lead, not a command.

Step 3: The 30-Second Audit

When an alert hits your phone ("Trader X bought YES on Event Y"), ask three questions:

  1. Price Check: Did they buy at 30¢ and it's now 60¢? If so, the edge is gone. Pass.
  2. Size Check: Is this a conviction bet ($10k) or a boredom bet ($50)? Only follow conviction.
  3. Exit Signal: The most valuable alert isn't the entry; it's the exit. When they sell, you sell. Don't be the bag holder.
