# What is AlphaYou

> AlphaYou lets you copy real traders on Hyperliquid, in the open, with your own wallet.

AlphaYou is a copy-trading platform built on [Hyperliquid](https://docs.alphayou.net/what-is-hyperliquid.md), the largest on-chain perpetuals exchange. Instead of guessing which coin to buy or when to enter a trade, you pick a trader whose track record you trust and copy their positions automatically.

Every trader on AlphaYou is real. Their profit, their losses, their open positions, all of it comes from public on-chain records, not a claim they made in a Discord group or a screenshot they posted. You can check the numbers yourself before you ever put money behind someone.

## The basic idea

1. **Browse the Copy feed** and look at traders who have already cleared our [shortlisting bar](https://docs.alphayou.net/how-we-shortlist-traders.md).
2. **Pick a trader** and decide how much you want to allocate.
3. **AlphaYou mirrors their trades** into your own wallet, automatically, for as long as you keep the copy running.
4. **Stop whenever you want.** Stopping closes the copy and starts unwinding your positions.

Prefer a ready-made, diversified position instead of following one trader? AlphaYou also offers [baskets](https://docs.alphayou.net/what-are-baskets.md), multi-asset portfolios you can buy into directly.

## What AlphaYou is not

AlphaYou is not a fund, and it never takes custody of your money. You are always trading from your own wallet, and only you can move funds out of it. We explain exactly how that works on the [how copying works](https://docs.alphayou.net/how-copying-works.md) page.

AlphaYou also is not a guarantee. Copying a trader with a strong track record does not mean you cannot lose money, markets change and even good traders have bad weeks. Read more in the [FAQ](https://docs.alphayou.net/faq.md).
