### Increase Collateral Amount (SOL)

* This is your constant default amount when increasing on positions.

### Open/Increase Sizing Strategy

* **Constant Size** - OdinBot uses your predefined collateral amount for every open or increase action, regardless of the mirrored wallet’s position size.
* **Dynamic Size** - OdinBot adjusts your position size proportionally based on the mirrored wallet’s collateral using your configured scaling settings (minimum size and multiplier).

#### Dynamic Increase Settings:

* **Minimum increase collateral amount (SOL)**\
  Defines the smallest collateral amount the bot will use when increasing a position. If the calculated increase falls below this value, no increase will be executed.\
  **Default:** 0.01 SOL if left blank.
* **Multiplier (%)**\
  Determines the percentage of the mirrored wallet’s increase to copy.\
  **Example:** A multiplier of 50% means increasing by 0.5 SOL if the mirror increases by 1 SOL.\
  **Default:** 50% if left blank.
* **Max increase collateral amount (SOL)**\
  Sets the largest collateral amount the bot will use when increasing a position. If the calculated increase exceeds this value, the bot will use the maximum instead.\
  **Default:** Your "Increase Collateral Amount" if left blank.

### Allow Long or Short Dropdown

* Controls which trade directions OdinBot is allowed to mirror.\
  **Example:** Select Short if you expect prices to drop, blocking any long trades from being copied.

### Max Leverage

* Set a hard cap on your risk. If the wallet you are mirroring opens a position with leverage that is greater than your maximum limit, your trade will automatically use your max leverage instead.

## 2. Position Close/Decrease

### Decrease Strategy

* **Decrease All** - If the mirrored wallet decreases their position by any amount, OdinBot will close your entire position.
* **Decrease Proportionally** - If the mirrored wallet decreases their position by a percentage (e.g., 20%), OdinBot decreases its position by the exact same percentage and matches their leverage.
* **Do Not Copy Decreases** - OdinBot ignores all position decreases from the mirrored wallet.

**Note:** If you choose not to copy decreases, you are responsible for manually closing positions to avoid liquidations.

* When enabled, only the specific mirror that caused you to open a position is allowed to trade that market and side until the position is closed.
