Copy settings

This page lists the settings in the copy window. To see how copying works from end to end, read How copying works.

​

When you start

Leverage vs trader, close at profit, close at loss, orders and only new trades are all under Advanced.

​

How the size is worked out

Your trades are scaled to your amount compared with the trader’s account, and then by your leverage setting. Each copied position uses the trader’s leverage, up to the lower of Hyperliquid’s cap for that market and AlphaYou’s own cap. Hyperliquid’s minimum order value is $10. Positions just under it may be rounded up to it, which makes them slightly larger than the trader’s. Smaller ones are skipped. If your amount is too small for the trader’s largest position, the app tells you how much the copy needs. New copies usually start within about a minute. If nothing is copied yet, the page says your amount is too small to copy their positions above the minimum order size.

​

Copying more than one trader

Each copy runs in its own copy wallet. You can start another copy in an idle wallet or a new one.

​

What you can change later

You can edit leverage, take profit, stop loss and Max account loss on a running copy, from Edit on the strategy page. When you start a copy, take profit and stop loss are called Close at profit and Close at loss. Max account loss is set after you start. You cannot edit the amount, the start mode or the order type. Adding funds to or withdrawing funds from the copy wallet changes how large the copied positions are.

​

Stop

Press Stop Copy Trading. Positions unwind on the next tick, with reduce-only market orders. Your funds stay in the copy wallet. To end a copy, press Stop Copy Trading. This closes its positions. See Risk controls for what can stop a copy on its own.
