Pause Reasons & Smart Skip
Polyfollow only pauses when you tell it to, or when a stop loss / take profit triggers. Low balance? Trades are just skipped silently.
When Does Copy Trading Pause?
| Reason | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Low balance | Trades skipped silently, follows stay active, no pause ✅ |
| Stop loss hit | Follow pauses, your loss hit your limit |
| Take profit hit | Follow pauses, your profit hit your target |
| You press Pause | Follow pauses, only resumes when you press Resume |
Smart Skip (Low Balance)
When you don't have enough funds, trades are skipped, but nothing pauses. As soon as you deposit USDC, the next trade executes automatically. Zero friction.
What to Do for Each Situation
| Situation | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| Low balance | Deposit USDC, next trade goes through automatically |
| Stop loss hit | Review the trader's performance, decide if you want to continue |
| Take profit hit | Nice! Resume to keep going, or withdraw your profits |
| Manually paused | Resume when ready from the dashboard |

- Deposit anytime, resumption is instant, no waiting period
- Sells always execute, even while paused, your exit trades continue to protect positions
- P&L tracking resets when you resume a paused copy, so stop loss/take profit start fresh
