## Position Sync

When you follow a signal provider:

1. **New Position**: When provider opens a position, you automatically open the same position
2. **Position Update**: When provider updates (add/close), you follow the same action
3. **Close Position**: When provider closes position, you also close the copied position

**Note**: Currently uses 1:1 ratio (fully automatic copy). Future versions will support custom ratios.

## Confirmation Check

Before following, check if user confirmation is needed:

```python
import os

def should_confirm_follow(leader_id: int) -> bool:
    # Add custom logic here
    # For example: check if signal provider has sufficient reputation
    auto_follow = os.getenv("AUTO_FOLLOW_ENABLED", "false").lower() == "true"
    return not auto_follow
```
