Shared Bots
Updated Aug 25, 2026
Sharing a bot is one decision with three independent parts. You choose which of them travel, and a bot share is worth making with any one of them on its own.
What you can include
Open positions
A live page of what the bot is holding right now: the position type, strikes, expirations, per-contract prices and percent profit or loss. Contract quantities and dollar amounts stay hidden unless you turn them on.
Bot configuration
A snapshot of the rules: entry conditions, exit conditions, adjustments and variables. Members can read it, and they can import it as a new bot in their own account. Leave it off if you want to show results without giving away how they were produced.
Performance
The bot's real results, computed by Whispertrades from its own trading and impossible for anyone to edit. Performance travels figure by figure, so members see only what you tick:
Equity curve
Today, week to date, month to date and year to date return
Trades, wins, losses, win rate
Average risk, average gain, average win, average loss
What never travels
Your broker connection, your account details, your position sizing, order details, fees and your notes are never included, whichever options you pick. Someone reading your shared bot cannot tell how large you are trading it.
Sharing it
Open the bot and choose Share Bot to Community. Give it a title and, if you like, a description saying what it does, when it struggles and what to watch. Then pick the audience, as described on Sharing Your Work.
Paper bots cannot be shared. Only your live bots are eligible.
Importing someone else's bot
If a shared bot includes its configuration, you can import it. Choose a name and the broker connection it should belong to, and Whispertrades builds a new bot in your account from the shared snapshot.
The imported bot arrives disabled. Review every setting, set your own sizing, and enable it only when you are satisfied. Sizing never travels with a share, so an imported bot has no allocation decided for you.
If a share does not include its configuration, there is nothing to import and the option is not offered.
Read every setting before you enable an imported bot. It arrives disabled on purpose. A shared bot is an idea to study, not a recommendation to follow, and nothing about it has been reviewed by Whispertrades. Sizing is yours to set, the strategy may not suit your account, and you alone are responsible for what runs in it.
Consider running it as a paper bot first.
Subscribing to updates
You can subscribe when you import, so you hear about it when the author changes the bot.
When they publish a change, you are notified and the bot's Updates page shows you a difference between the version you last applied and the current one. You can then:
Apply it, which updates your copy. Your bot stays enabled or disabled exactly as it was, and your sizing and broker connection are untouched.
Leave it, and keep running what you have. Nothing is applied without you asking.
Unsubscribe, which stops the notifications and leaves your bot alone.
Subscribing never gives anyone control of your account. An author cannot change your bot, only offer you a new version of theirs.
Where a bot came from
A bot imported from a share can show its lineage, so a reader can see that it started as someone else's work rather than having to take a description on trust. What is disclosed follows the original author's own settings, so an unattributed share stays unattributed downstream.
Unsharing your bot
Unsharing removes the whole thing: its configuration, its performance figures and its open positions all leave the community together. You can also turn off any single part from My Shares and leave the rest shared.
