Deposit Process
Copy your wallet address (click on the wallet address)
Deposit USDC and ETH on the Arbitrum network
Minimum USDC deposit: 15 USDC
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:
This refers to real trading on the Hyperliquid main network, where trades are executed using your wallet’s actual USDC balance.
Testnet Copy Trading:
This refers to simulated trading on the Hyperliquid test network, using test tokens received from the faucet.
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:
Your trade size will mirror the smart wallet your following's position size based on the same fund ratio.
This mode ensures your exposure and risk align with the trader you’re following.
Example: If the Smart Money account has 1000 USDT and opens a position using 100 USDT (10% of total funds), and your account has 100 USDT, your trade will automatically use 10 USDT in margin (10% of your balance).
Fixed Amount Copy Trading:
Each trade follows the Smart Money’s orders with a fixed margin amount, regardless of their position size.
Proportional Copy Trading Settings
Copy Ratio:
The default value is 100%, meaning your trade size will exactly match the Smart Money’s ratio.
If set to 200%, your trade will be twice their proportional size.
Example:
Smart Wallet has 2000 USDT and opens a 100 USDT position (5% of total funds).
If your wallet has 200 USDT:
At 100% ratio → you open a 10 USDT position (5%)
At 200% ratio → you open a 20 USDT position (10%)
Copy Increase as Open:
If you miss the Smart Money’s initial entry on a certain token, you can choose whether to follow their subsequent add-on trades (treating them as your entry point).
Follow Increase:
✅ Enabled: You will automatically join their additional entries on existing positions.
🚫 Disabled: You will only follow the initial entry, and ignore later add-ons.
Example: You are following Smart Money A. Before you start copying, A already holds a BTC long position.
If A adds more to the BTC long (i.e., adds margin), you will not follow that order.
But if A later opens a new ETH short position, you will copy that trade.
Follow Decrease:
This option determines whether you automatically mirror Smart Money’s position reductions or closures.
If disabled, you will only follow their entries. Closing positions will need to be done manually, or through your own take-profit/stop-loss strategy.
📌 Recommendation:
For a fully automated experience → Enable this option.
For users with their own risk management → Disable and close positions manually.
Copy Current Position:
Instantly copy the smart money’s current positions at the current market price (price differences may occur).
Trade Size Limits
Max Amount:
The upper limit per copied trade. If the proportional size exceeds this limit, only the set maximum will be used as margin.
Min Amount:
The lower limit per copied trade. If the proportional size falls below this value, the system will still use the set minimum as margin.
⚠️ Platform Requirement:
On Hyperliquid, Leverage × Margin ≥ 10 USDT; otherwise, the order will fail.
To prevent copy trade errors, it is recommended to set your minimum copy amount to 5 USDT or higher.
Margin Modes
Follow Mode:
Automatically mirrors the Smart Money’s margin mode — ideal for beginners.
Cross Margin:
Your entire account balance acts as margin for all positions. If one position loses, funds from other positions will be used to cover it. Suitable for experienced or high-risk users.
Isolated Margin:
Each position has independent margin. Losses only affect that specific position. Recommended for users prioritizing risk control.
Hyperliquid API Copy Trading
Hyperliquid API copy trading is non-custodial, ideal for users concerned about fund security. HyperX only assists with opening/closing positions via API; your funds remain in your control.
Process:
Create a wallet and select Hyperliquid API (parameters obtained in step 2).
Create an API via: https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/API
Enter any name, generate the API, and authorize the API wallet.
Copy and paste the Main Wallet, API Wallet, and API Wallet Private Key into the wallet creation page in step 1.
⚠️ Ensure your Hyperliquid wallet has >20 USDC before creating the API.
Activate the API Wallet:
Click "Activate" to trigger the browser plugin wallet (Example: Metamask).
Ensure the browser plugin wallet contains the main wallet and complete authorization.
Follow the standard copy trading process (refer to "Setting Up Copy Trading" section).
Common Issues:
If using email login on Hyperliquid, export the main wallet to a plugin wallet to complete activation.
Recommended: Use wallet login on Hyperliquid to generate the API wallet.
One main wallet can only generate one API wallet. Multiple API wallets will cause duplication errors.
Position and Order Management
View current positions, open orders, and historical records in the Copy Trading page.
Key Reminder:
Positions can be closed proportionally.
Take-profit/stop-loss orders set for copy trading will appear in the "Open Orders" page and can be canceled if needed.
