Copy Trading Process

  • Set up copy trading

  • Monitor positions and manage take-profit and stop-loss

My Wallet & Creating a Wallet

To create a wallet, you need to enter a nickname, password, and password hint. Please remember your password carefully — it’s required for exporting your private key and making withdrawals.

Deposit Process

  • Copy your wallet address (click on the wallet address)

  • Deposit USDC and ETH on the Arbitrum network

  • Minimum USDC deposit: 15 USDC

  • Recommended ETH deposit: 0.005 ETH (a small amount of ETH is needed to cover gas fees on HyperLiquid, typically less than 0.0001 ETH)

After depositing, click the "Trigger Transfer" button. If successful, the USDC will be credited to your account and you can start following orders.

Setting Up Copy Trading

⚠️ Note: You must create your own wallet before starting copy trading.

Copy Trading Networks:

  • Mainnet Copy Trading: Trades are executed on the official HyperLiquid mainnet using your wallet’s real USDC.

  • Simulated Copy Trading: Trades take place on HyperLiquid’s testnet using test tokens.

Both require a minimum deposit of 15 USDC plus a small amount of ETH for gas fees. After depositing on the testnet, you will automatically receive 1000 USDC in test tokens.

Copy Trading Modes

  • Proportional Copy Trading: You place orders using the same proportion of funds as the smart wallet you’re following. This ensures your risk level aligns with the smart trader’s. For example, if the smart wallet has $1,000 USDT and places a $100 margin order (10%), and you have $100 available, your copy trade margin will be $10 (10% of your balance).

  • Fixed Amount Copy Trading: You copy the smart wallet’s trades using a fixed margin amount regardless of the smart wallet’s position size.

Proportional Copy Trading Settings

  • Copy Ratio: The default value is 100%, meaning you trade with the same proportional size as the smart wallet you’re following. Setting it to 200% means you trade with double the proportional size. For example:

    • If the smart wallet has 2000 USDT and places a 100 USDT order (5% of its balance),

    • And your wallet has 200 USDT,

    • At 100% copy ratio, you place a 10 USDT order (also 5%),

    • At 200% copy ratio, you place a 20 USDT order (10%).

  • Copy Increase as Open: This controls whether you follow subsequent add-on trades after missing the initial position. An add-on is treated as a new opening position.

  • Follow Increase：

    • ✅ If checked, you will automatically follow further add-ons on tokens you already hold.

    • 🚫 If unchecked, you only copy the initial opening trade and skip any later add-ons.

    • Example:

      • You are copying smart wallet A.

      • Before you start copying, wallet A already holds a long BTC position.

      • If wallet A later opens an additional long BTC position (an add-on), you will not follow this add-on order.

      • If wallet A opens a new short ETH position (a new opening trade), you will follow that short trade.

  • Follow Decrease: This option controls whether you automatically follow the smart wallet’s closing or position-reducing trades. If disabled, the system will only copy opening trades; you’ll need to manually close positions or set your own take-profit and stop-loss strategies.

    • 📌 Recommendation:

    • For a fully automated copy trading experience, it’s best to enable this option.

    • If you prefer to manage risk manually based on your own strategy, you can disable it and adjust positions yourself.

  • Maximum Amount: The max amount you want to use per copy trade. If the proportional amount exceeds this max, the system will only use the max amount as margin.

  • Minimum Amount: The minimum amount per copy trade. If the proportional amount is less than this minimum, the system will use the minimum amount as margin.

    • Note: HyperLiquid requires that leverage × margin ≥ 10 USDT; otherwise, the order will fail. To avoid failed trades, we recommend setting the minimum copy amount to 5 USDT or higher.

  • Margin Modes:

    • Follow Mode: Always matches the smart wallet’s margin mode. Recommended for beginners.

    • Cross Margin Mode: Uses your entire account balance as margin for a position. If losses occur, funds from your account will automatically cover it. Suitable for higher risk tolerance.

    • Isolated Margin Mode: Each position has separate margin; losses only affect that position without touching other funds. Suitable for strict risk control.

  • Fixed Amount Copy Trading Settings: Each copy trade uses a fixed margin amount to follow the smart wallet’s orders. Other terms and concepts are the same as in proportional copy trading.
