TL;DR

SOL is down 72% from its $295 ATH. Manual traders panic-sell or bag-hold. Algorithmic copy trading works differently: it trades both directions, holds positions for hours not months, and doesn't freeze during drawdowns. On-chain data from Stratium's tracked wallets shows consistent win rates of 55–70% even in bear conditions — because the edge is in execution speed and pattern recognition, not price direction.
