LoadingLoadingLoadingTo copytrade on Hyperliquid you can use a copy-trading app that mirrors a trader into your own account, deposit into a vault run by one manager, or watch a public wallet and place the same trades yourself. They differ in who holds your money, whether it can be locked, and what you pay.
| Way | Who holds the money | Can it be locked? | What you pay | Who picks the trader |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AlphaYou copy trading | You. Funds sit in your own Agent Account, and the tool trades it with a key that cannot withdraw. | No lockup. Stop any time. | 0.05% per copied trade plus Hyperliquid's fee. No share of profit. | You |
| A Hyperliquid vault | Pooled with other depositors under 1 manager. | Withdrawals can be locked for a set period. | Set by each vault's manager. Read its terms. | The manager trades for you |
| Watch a wallet, trade by hand | You. | No. | Hyperliquid's trading fee, plus anything the screen you trade from adds. | You, but you always arrive after them |
Other copy-trading apps differ from the first row. Check who holds your money and whether they keep a share of your profit.
A copy-trading tool watches a trader's open positions and places matching orders in your account, scaled to your balance. On AlphaYou positions follow the trader about every 20 seconds, so you enter at slightly different prices.
A vault is the other model. You deposit, 1 manager trades the pooled money, and you share in the result. You are choosing a manager rather than copying their orders into your own account.
Watching a wallet is free of any middleman, and the slowest. Every Hyperliquid position is public, so you can see a trade the moment it shows up, and place it yourself a little later.
Copytrade means placing the same trades as another trader, either by hand or automatically. On Hyperliquid, an app can mirror a trader's open positions into your own account, scaled to your balance.
Hyperliquid offers vaults, where 1 manager trades pooled money. Copy-trading tools such as AlphaYou's mirror a trader's positions into your own account instead.
Neither is better for everyone. A vault pools your money under 1 manager and withdrawals can be locked for a set period. Copying keeps your money in your own account, with no lockup, and lets you pick the trader.
Every Hyperliquid position and account value is public. Look at the wallet's worst dip, its age and its open positions, and avoid a profit that comes from one lucky bet.
AlphaYou copy trading is offered outside the US and Ontario. Here it is research only, and nothing on this page is investment advice.
