Copy trading

Copy trading lets you automatically mirror another trader's positions. When the trader you're copying opens, closes, or adjusts a position, the same action is reflected in your dedicated copy wallet -- proportionally scaled to your allocation.

This is the fastest way to follow a trader's strategy with real capital, without manually executing each trade yourself.

How It Works

1. Find a trader -- Browse profiles on Legend. Any trader with open positions can be copied.
2. Start copying -- Click "Copy Trade" on their profile and choose how much to allocate, using the slider or by typing an amount. The funds move from your main trading balance into your copy wallet. If the trader charges a profit share, you'll see the rate before you confirm.
3. Automatic mirroring -- A dedicated sub-wallet holds your allocation for each trader you copy. When the target trader executes a trade, a proportional order is placed in your copy wallet immediately.
4. Manage anytime -- Add funds, withdraw part of your balance, or stop completely. When you stop copying, all mirrored positions are closed automatically and your remaining funds are returned to your main wallet.

Copy Wallet

Each copy profile uses a separate sub-wallet on Hyperliquid. Copied positions remain isolated from positions in your main trading wallet; your main wallet is used only when you add funds to or withdraw funds from the copy wallet.

• Funds are isolated per trader -- copying Trader A and Trader B uses two separate wallets
• Your copy wallet balance = your allocation + any trading gains or losses
• Positions in your copy wallet are fully independent from your main trading positions

Proportional Sizing

Orders are scaled based on the ratio of your copy wallet's balance to the target trader's account value.

Example: If the trader has $100,000 in equity and you allocate $500, you're mirroring at a 0.5% ratio. When they open a $10,000 BTC long, your copy wallet opens a $50 BTC long.

Your copy wallet mirrors the trader's leverage and margin mode (isolated or cross) exactly -- there's no separate leverage cap to choose. Because every position is scaled down to your allocation, your dollar risk stays proportional even when the trader runs high leverage.

Profit Share

Some traders charge a profit share -- a cut of the gains they generate for you. The rate is set by the trader and shown on the copy screen before you confirm.

• It applies only to winning trades. If a copied position closes at a loss, no profit share is taken.
• It's charged automatically when a winning copied position closes -- the trader's cut is set aside in your copy wallet and paid out from there.
• The rate is locked in when you start copying. If the trader changes their rate later, your existing copy keeps the rate you agreed to.
• The maximum any trader can charge is 20%.
• Many traders charge nothing -- the copy screen always shows the exact rate, or none.

Trading Fees

Orders placed by the copy-trading service carry a 0.10% Legend builder fee, in addition to Hyperliquid's applicable trading fee. This fee is separate from profit share: the builder fee applies when copied orders execute, while profit share applies only to gains from winning copied positions when the trader has enabled it.

Pre-Existing Positions

By default, when you start copying a trader, their currently-open positions are skipped -- you'll only mirror trades they open after you start. This keeps you from entering a trade mid-way, for example ending up on the wrong side if the trader sells an existing long.

This is controlled by the Only copy newly opened positions toggle, which is on by default. If you'd rather also mirror the trader's current open positions, turn it off when you set up the copy.

With the toggle on, the trader's original stake in an asset is never mirrored -- if they later add to a pre-existing position, only the added portion is copied.

Adding Funds & Withdrawing

You stay in control of your money the whole time:

• Add funds -- Top up an active copy anytime, as long as your total allocation stays within the $50–$100,000 range.
• Withdraw part of your balance -- Withdraw anytime, including gains if you're in profit. Your positions scale down proportionally to match the new balance. A partial withdrawal must leave at least $50 in the copy.
• Withdraw everything / stop -- Withdrawing your full balance stops the copy: all mirrored positions are closed with market orders and your remaining funds are transferred back to your main wallet automatically.

What Gets Copied

What Doesn't Get Copied

• Very small trades -- Orders below the copy engine's minimum executable notional are skipped.

Copy trading does not exclude an asset solely because its open interest is below a fixed threshold. Instead, the fleet-wide copied exposure to an asset is capped at 5% of that asset's open interest. New copied exposure is scaled down when needed to stay within the cap and skipped only when no capacity remains.

Copying a Single Trade

Separate from automatic copy trading, you can also copy an individual trade you see on Legend. Trade posts in the feed include a copy option: pick how much of your balance to put in -- using the percent presets or a custom amount -- and the trade opens in your own account at the trader's leverage, with optional take-profit and stop-loss.

This is a one-time copy from your main balance: the position is yours from then on and won't follow the trader's later moves.
