Copy trading on Polymarket means mirroring another trader’s bets in your own wallet as they place them. Lockstep Markets does that automatically — but it checks the trader first, because on Polymarket a big profit and a lucky streak look identical from the outside.
Every Polymarket trade is public: each wallet’s buys and sells are on-chain and in Polymarket’s own records. A copy-trading tool watches the wallets you choose, and when one of them buys or sells, it places the same trade for you, scaled to your own budget.
With Lockstep, the copies are placed from your own trading wallet, following limits you set: what share of the trader’s size to copy (10% by default), the smallest and largest bet ($1 and $25 by default), a cap per market and a cap on everything open at once. In our simulation account the median copy landed 23 seconds after the original trade.
This is the part that decides whether copy trading makes or loses money, and it is the part most tools skip. Polymarket’s leaderboard ranks traders by profit. But in markets that pay all-or-nothing, one three-cent winner can outweigh a hundred losses, so the biggest profits are often a few large lucky bets — and luck does not repeat when you copy it.
So Lockstep asks a different question: did this trader win more often than the prices they paid said they should? Someone who keeps buying at 30¢ should win about three times in ten. Winning six is something stake size and long odds cannot fake. Lockstep reads a wallet’s whole settled history and gives a plain verdict — from “edge detected” to “no detectable edge” — with the arithmetic beside it. You can analyse any Polymarket wallet before you follow it.
Analysing wallets is free to try: one analysis without an account, five more when you sign up, no card. Copying with real money needs a paid plan — Pro (£60 a month) copies up to 10 wallets at once, Unlimited (£90 a month) has no cap, and both can be paid for six or twelve months up front. Lockstep is software, not a broker: it never takes a deposit, and your money stays in your own wallet.
Risk: copying trades risks your money, and you can lose some or all of it. A trader who has shown an edge can stop having one, and past results are not a promise. Nothing here is advice.
