### Future Plan / Roadmap

* [ ] **Customizable % position** — choose allocation per trader or per trade (beyond fixed 10%).
* [ ] **Short positions** — enable mirrored shorts in addition to longs.
* [ ] **Separate long & short positions** — allow holding both directions on the same token independently.
* [ ] **1 CT = 1 Wallet (segregation)** — isolate positions per copied trader to **prevent cross-interference** between traders’ signals.

### FAQ

**Can I copy multiple traders at once?**\
Yes. Your wallet can mirror multiple traders, subject to the **10-position cap** and **no-duplicate-token** rule.

**What happens if two traders open the same token?**\
If you already hold that token, additional signals for the same token are **skipped** (until the position is closed).

**Do traders have access to my funds?**\
No. Funds stay in **your wallet**. PADTAI only mirrors signals.

**Can I set different TP/SL per position?**\
Yes — TP/SL are configured **per position**.
