TL;DR
Solana copy trading bots — bundle bots, sniper bots, bump bots, and comment bots — are documented in peer-reviewed research across 6,000 meme coins. Even when you follow the right wallet, a structural 'imitation penalty' on bonding curves means copiers always buy higher and sell lower than the wallet they're following. The only way to generate positive returns as a copier is to follow wallets with verified, statistically significant edge — not wallets with good-looking screenshots.
