Troubleshooting Copy Trade Failures

If the copied wallet opens and closes positions too frequently (for example, opening and closing within one minute), copy trades may fail.

When you encounter a copy trade failure, please refer to the error codes below or contact an admin for further assistance.

Why does my remaining balance differ from the leader’s proportion when using proportional copy trading?

This happens because when calculating the opening margin, the system uses the larger value between:

  1. The proportional margin based on your copy ratio, and

  2. Your minimum order size setting.

This ensures each copy trade executes successfully (since Hyperliquid requires margin × leverage > 10).

Your funds may deplete faster if:

  • There’s a large gap between your balance and the wallet your copying (e.g., Copied wallet has $1 M while you have $100), or

  • The copied wallet trades too frequently — if the calculated position size is below 10, the system will use your minimum order size instead, increasing fund usage.

Tips to optimize:

  • Follow wallets that don’t open or add positions too frequently, or

  • Lower your minimum order size from 5 to 2 to reduce capital usage speed.


What are the copy trading fees?

  • Default fee: 0.055%

  • With referral code: 5% discount → 0.052%

  • With membership: as low as 0.035%

  • Membership + referral code: only 0.033% (~40% off)


What’s the execution delay for copy trades?

The current measured delay is about 5 seconds, making it one of the fastest in the industry.

This delay exists because Hyperliquid’s copy trading logic must:

  • Aggregate and deduplicate trade fills, and

  • Continuously query wallet data to ensure accurate proportional replication.

These processes ensure precision and safety. Reducing this delay further could cause duplicate orders or missed signals.

⚠️ Note: Be cautious of platforms claiming “millisecond-level” copy trading — given current on-chain and Hyperliquid architecture, this is technically impossible.
