You're late by design. You see his entry after it confirms, fill a block later at a worse price, and he sees your buy before you see his sell. That gap eats the edge before wash trading or MEV even enter into it.
Watching wallets for information works. Copying them on a minutes timeframe doesn't.

>Hi everyone,
I’ve been researching **On-Chain Wallet Tracking** and **Copy-Trading** using Telegram bots recently. The concept of finding insider/smart money wallets and automatically copying their trades sounds logically profitable, but I am well aware of the "cheese in a mousetrap" rule.
I want to know the harsh reality from people who have actually tried this. How often do you get trapped by whale manipulation (wash trading/honeypots)? Is it possible for a retail trader to make consistent short-term profits, or do MEV bots always eat your lunch? What are your experiences and honest thoughts? Thanks!

There is no zero risk path here, and an AI generated contract should not be trusted with funds by default, first write the invariant, debt and collateral positions must remain solvent even if the swap reverts or execution is sandwiched, then enforce strict slippage limits, a deadline, exact token approvals, expected balances, and a health factor buffer, Aave flash liquidity is not free safety, you still carry oracle, MEV, allowance, reentrancy, and integration risk, test against forked mainnet state, fuzz failure paths, have independent reviewers audit the bytecode, and start with a capped test wallet, if you are new to smart contract risk, the safest version is probably an offchain transaction planner that asks you to sign each leg rather than a contract with custody
