The single most important setting when copying calls is where you take profit. It matters more than which caller you follow.
Fixed target
Sell everything at one multiple, for example 2×. Simple, and easy to backtest: a call either reached the target or it did not. Low targets hit more often but cap your winners; high targets miss more often.
Laddered exits
Sell a third at 1.5×, a third at 3× and hold the rest. Laddering smooths results: you bank something on most calls and still catch the occasional runner. A ladder behaves roughly like the average of its steps.
Recover the stake
Sell enough at 2× to recover your stake and let the rest ride at zero cost. Psychologically easy, mathematically similar to a 50% ladder step at 2×.
Match the target to the caller
Some callers post early, low-cap entries that either go 5× or die. Others post later, higher-cap tokens with smaller, more reliable moves. Look at the caller's median and best peak multiple on calls.team, then test targets around that median in the backtester.
