Most "Telegram trading bots" are thin wrappers that take custody of your funds and copy a leader's trade fifteen to thirty seconds late — long enough for the price to drift away from the entry you were promised. FrenFlow's bot is built the opposite way: it copies in the same block as the leader (Block 0), and your USDC never leaves a wallet only you control.

This is the full reference for @FrenFlowBot — the Polymarket copy trading bot that runs entirely inside Telegram. Every command, every copy-trading setting, the execution model, the fee, and the security architecture, verified against the live bot.

What is a Polymarket copy trading bot on Telegram?

A Polymarket copy trading bot on Telegram is an automated tool that mirrors the trades of a chosen Polymarket wallet — both entries and exits — and executes them from your own balance, controlled through Telegram chat commands instead of a website or app.

FrenFlow's implementation, @FrenFlowBot, does three things a generic bot does not:

1. It copies in the same block as the leader by watching the Polygon mempool, not by waiting for the leader's trade to confirm on-chain.
2. It is non-custodial. Your funds sit in a wallet secured by Privy that only you can withdraw from. The bot can place the trades you authorize and nothing else.
3. It charges no service fee on top of the trade — only the Polymarket builder fee at the CLOB level (1% taker / 0.5% maker), the same rate whether you trade manually or copy.

You browse a leaderboard, tap a trader, set how much to risk, and the bot handles every subsequent entry and exit until you pause it.

Why two bots: login vs trading

FrenFlow splits its Telegram presence into two bots on purpose:

• @FrenFlowLoginBot handles authentication only: signing in, enabling trading, and logging out.
• @FrenFlowBot handles everything else: copy trading, positions, wallet, stats, and alerts.

The reason is resilience. If a trading bot is ever rate-limited or banned by the platform, login still works through the separate auth bot, so you are never locked out of your own account and funds. New users always start at the login bot, then deep-link into the trading bot once authenticated.

How to set up the Polymarket copy trading bot on Telegram

Going from zero to copying a trader takes about five minutes and no software install.

1. Open the login bot: Start a chat with @FrenFlowLoginBot and sign in with email, Google, or your Telegram identity. A self-custodial wallet is created for you automatically on Polygon.
2. Enable trading: Tap "Enable Trading" inside the login flow. This is a one-time authorization that lets the bot place orders on your behalf — and only place orders.
3. Fund your wallet: Open @FrenFlowBot and run /wallet to reveal your deposit address. Send USDC on Polygon from any exchange or wallet. There is no minimum deposit, though $50–$100 is enough to diversify across a few leaders.
4. Find a leader: Run /leaders to browse the trader leaderboard ranked by ROI and win rate, or use /search to look one up. Tap any trader to inspect their stats first — favor discretionary traders with multi-day holding periods (like Toncar16, a geopolitics value-hunter up roughly $120K) over high-frequency bots whose latency edge you can't replicate as a follower.
5. Follow and configure: Choose "Follow / Copy," pick a copy mode (fixed dollar amount or percentage of balance), set your stake and a max-per-trade cap, and choose how exits are mirrored.
6. Confirm and monitor: Confirm, and copying begins immediately. Every time your leader trades, the bot mirrors it and sends you a notification with the market, outcome, size, and price.

That is the entire flow. From here, /pause stops copying at any time and /resume restarts it.

Block 0: same-block copy execution

The difference between a useful copy trade and a useless one is latency. If you enter 30 seconds after the leader, the price has already moved and you bought the news, not the edge.

FrenFlow targets Block 0 — execution in the same Polygon block as the leader — by monitoring the mempool, the queue of unconfirmed transactions, rather than waiting for confirmation. The moment a leader's transaction appears, the copy order is placed against the same block window, so both trades settle together (roughly 12 seconds on Polygon) at the same or near-identical price.

Measured on the live system:

• Mempool detection: 0–5 seconds (pre-confirmation)
• Detection to copy-order placement: 1–3 seconds
• End-to-end execution: ~3 seconds

Three detection methods run simultaneously — a mempool monitor, a CLOB stream, and on-chain logs — and whichever sees the trade first wins, with distributed locks preventing the same trade from being copied twice. Traditional bots that wait for on-chain confirmation typically need 15–30 seconds, which is where their price drift comes from.

Same-block execution is not guaranteed every time — network congestion, thin liquidity, or a slippage cap can push a copy into the next block — but most copies still complete within about three seconds. We go deeper in the Block 0 deep-dive.

Copy modes and stake sizing

When you follow a leader, you choose how your position size relates to theirs:

• Fixed Stake — spend the same dollar amount on every copy trade regardless of the leader's size. Range: $1–$10,000 per trade.
• % of Bankroll — spend a percentage of your available USDC balance on each copy trade. Range: 1%–100%.

On top of that you set a max per trade hard cap ($0–$10,000, where $0 means unlimited), so a leader's outsized bet can never drag your whole balance into one position.

Exits are configurable independently of entries. When a leader sells, the bot can mirror it as:

• Mirror (match the leader's proportion)
• Same percentage
• Sell all
• Fixed amount
• Custom percentage
• Manual (you decide)

This separation matters: you can copy a leader's entries automatically while keeping full manual control of when you take profit.

Risk controls and auto-pause

This is where @FrenFlowBot separates from toy bots. Every follow can be wrapped in guardrails:

Slippage defaults are tiered by token price, because a 2¢ market moves very differently from a 60¢ one:

• 40¢ and above: 2% default
• 15¢–40¢: 4% default
• Under 15¢: 8% default
• Global default: 5% (hard cap 15%)

Finally, auto-pause triggers stop copying automatically when a leader turns cold — on a loss %, a profit %, a daily-loss dollar amount, or a weekly-loss dollar amount. Set it once and the bot enforces your discipline for you.

The full command reference

You don't even need /search for markets — type a term like bitcoin straight into the chat and the bot surfaces matching markets. Wallet tracking via /track is the same engine behind tracking Polymarket whales: follow a wallet for alerts without copying it.

Notifications you actually get

The bot pushes a direct message for each of these events, all toggleable via /notifications:

1. Copy trade executed
2. Limit order filled
3. Limit order expired
4. Position resolved
5. Low balance
6. High slippage
7. Wallet tracker alert
8. Price alert
9. Trade confirmation

A copy-trade notification is concrete, not a vague "trade happened" ping. It looks like this:

🔥 Copied from Toncar16
🎯 Outcome: Yes @ $0.42
📦 Shares Bought: 119.0476
   └ 💸 Spent: $50.00

You see exactly which leader triggered it, the outcome and price you got, the shares received, and the dollars spent — enough to audit every copy against the leader's original.

Fees

FrenFlow charges the Polymarket builder fee at the CLOB level: 1% taker / 0.5% maker. That is the same rate for manual and copy trades.

There is no service fee on top, no monthly subscription, no deposit or withdrawal fee, and FrenFlow covers the blockchain gas. Fees are charged only when an order actually fills — placing or cancelling an order costs nothing — and the full fee is shown in the trade confirmation before you commit. (Polymarket's own taker fee schedule applies separately, as it does for every Polymarket user.) For the complete breakdown, see Polymarket fees explained.

Self-custody: who holds your money

This is the line that matters most. FrenFlow is non-custodial: your USDC sits in an embedded wallet secured by Privy that only you control. When you "enable trading," you authorize the bot to place orders — you do not hand over withdrawal rights. The bot cannot move, withdraw, or transfer your funds.

If you ever want to cut that authorization, /revoke removes the bot's ability to trade on your behalf, immediately. Compare that with custodial Telegram bots that pool deposits in an operator wallet, where a ban, hack, or exit takes your balance with it.

Telegram and web stay in sync

The Telegram bot is a UI layer over the same backend as frenflow.com. Anything you configure in one place shows up in the other: balance, open positions, copy-trading configurations, and risk limits all synchronize, and every trade appears in both web and Telegram. Start a follow on your phone in Telegram, adjust its risk settings later from the copy trading dashboard on desktop — it's one account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a Polymarket copy trading bot on Telegram?

Yes. FrenFlow's @FrenFlowBot is a Polymarket copy trading bot that runs entirely inside Telegram. You follow traders from a leaderboard, set your stake and risk limits, and it copies their entries and exits automatically — with same-block (Block 0) execution and non-custodial wallets.

How fast does the Telegram bot copy a trade?

FrenFlow targets the same Polygon block as the leader. It detects the leader's transaction in the mempool within 0–5 seconds and places the copy order in 1–3 seconds, for end-to-end execution around 3 seconds. Bots that wait for on-chain confirmation typically take 15–30 seconds.

How much does the Polymarket Telegram bot cost?

FrenFlow charges the Polymarket builder fee at the CLOB level — 1% taker / 0.5% maker — and nothing on top. No service fee, no monthly subscription, no deposit or withdrawal fees, and gas is covered. The same rate applies to manual and copy trades.

Is the FrenFlow Telegram bot safe?

It is non-custodial. Your funds stay in a Privy-secured wallet that only you can withdraw from. Enabling trading authorizes the bot to place orders, not to move your money, and /revoke cancels that authorization at any time.

Can I control how much I copy per trade?

Yes. Choose Fixed Stake ($1–$10,000 per trade) or % of Bankroll (1%–100%), set a max-per-trade cap, and layer on risk controls: max daily volume, max open positions, budget cap, slippage limits, and auto-pause on loss or profit thresholds.

Can I stop copying without closing my positions?

Yes. /pause stops new copies immediately while leaving your open positions untouched; /resume restarts copying. You can also configure exits independently so a leader's sell is mirrored, partially mirrored, or left for you to handle manually.

Do I need the website to use the bot?

No. Everything — funding, following, settings, positions, and withdrawals — works from Telegram. The web app shares the same account if you prefer a larger screen, but it is optional.
