How to copy trade on pump.fun, step by step

Copying a pump.fun trader takes a few minutes. This guide walks through it on FOCO, from signing in to your first copied pump.fun trade, and the settings worth a second look before real money goes in.

1. Sign in

Sign in with a Solana or EVM wallet (Phantom, MetaMask and the like) or with Telegram. Your account comes with a Solana trading wallet of its own and $1,000 of paper money to practise with.

2. Find a pump.fun trader

Open Traders and choose Top on pump.fun: pump.fun’s most profitable traders over the last day, week or month. Or open Find traders, pick pump.fun and type a name, paste a wallet address, or paste a profile link such as pump.fun/profile/<name>.

A trader’s page shows their pump.fun results and recent trades, so you can see how often they trade, how big and how they exit before you copy them.

3. Set the size of each copy

Choose the dollars per buy (from $3). Each copy buys that amount whatever the trader spent, so their big bets and small ones cost you the same.

4. Choose which buys to copy

  • Market cap from / up to: fresh curve coins or ones that already proved something.
  • Coin younger than: copy only brand-new launches, or avoid them.
  • Their buy at least: ignore the trader’s tiny test buys.
  • Price run-up: skip a buy when the price already ran far past what they paid.

5. Decide how it sells

Start from Take profits, Let it run or Follow their sells, or set your own take-profit points, stop loss and trailing stop. Then decide what their sells do: sell carefully, mirror the share they sell, sell everything at once, or ignore them.

6. Watch it on paper, then go live

Paper copies use real prices, so a few days on paper show how your rules behave with the traders you picked. When you’re ready, send USDC to your Solana trading wallet, switch to live in settings and connect Telegram if you want a message on every buy and sell.

Do I need SOL for fees?
No. Your cash is USDC; when your wallet has no SOL, FOCO pays the network fee for you.

Yes, each with its own size and rules. You can also tell FOCO to skip a coin you already hold from another trader.
