Copy trading includes several safeguards to protect copiers during the alpha period.

​
Deposit Limits

LimitValueNotes
Minimum deposit$250Per trader you copy
Maximum deposit$500Per trader you copy
These limits apply per copy profile. If you’re copying 3 different traders, each profile has its own 250–250–500 range. Withdrawals must either leave at least $250 in the profile or withdraw everything (stopping the profile).
Each copy profile creates a new Hyperliquid sub-wallet, so a one-time Hyperliquid network fee of around $1 may be deducted from your first deposit when the wallet is activated.

​
Order Limits

LimitValue
Minimum order size$10 notional
If a proportional order would result in less than $10 of notional value, it’s skipped. This can happen when copying a trader with a much larger account — very small percentage moves may not meet the minimum.

​
Leverage

Your copy wallet mirrors the trader’s leverage and margin mode (isolated or cross) exactly — there’s no separate leverage cap to set. Risk is controlled by your deposit size, since every position is scaled down proportionally to the amount you allocated.

​
Profit Share

Traders can charge a profit share of up to 20% on the gains they generate for you. The rate is shown before you start copying and applies only to winning trades — positions that close at a loss incur no profit share.

​
Asset Restrictions

To protect against slippage and market manipulation, copy trading restricts which assets are mirrored:
  • Open interest threshold — Assets with less than $5M in total open interest are not copied
  • AUM-to-OI ratio — If the total copy trading capital allocated to an asset exceeds 1% of its open interest, new orders for that asset are paused
These restrictions are evaluated in real-time for each order.

​
Pre-Existing Positions

By default, a trader’s already-open positions are not mirrored when you start copying. This prevents you from entering a trade mid-way — for example, being on the wrong side if the trader sells an existing long. Mirroring for those assets begins only once the trader fully closes a pre-existing position and opens a new one. This is the Only copy newly opened positions toggle, on by default. Turn it off at setup if you’d rather also mirror the trader’s current open positions.

​
Stopping a Copy Profile

When you stop copying a trader:
  1. All open positions in your copy wallet are closed with market orders
  2. After positions settle, your remaining USDC is automatically transferred back to your main wallet
  3. The profile is marked as stopped — no further orders will be placed
