How to Look at a Trader Before You Follow

Last checked against the product: 2026-10-19

The short answer

Open the trader's public card and read the numbers in this order: the period, then Max Drawdown, then Last Active, then the rest. The card shows what the account did in the past. It does not say what happens next, and being listed is not an endorsement.

Start with the period

Every figure on a card covers one stretch of time. The card shows it as last 7 days, last 30 days or last 90 days, and a toggle switches between them. The same trader can look quite different in each. A short window can be one lucky week. A longer one shows more of how the account behaved. Check at least two windows before you decide anything. Some cards have only the 30-day view.

What the numbers mean

ROI is how much the trader's own account grew or shrank over the period. It is their number, not yours. Your copies can fill at different prices or be skipped.

Max Drawdown is the worst drop from a high point to a low one. It shows how rough the ride got. Read it next to ROI, not after it.

Win Rate counts only trades the trader has already closed.

Sharpe compares their return with how bumpy the ride was. A higher number is not a steadier ride, and it does not mean a low chance of losing money.

Trades counts fills: every buy or sell that went through, opening ones included. A fill is not a finished trade. If the card shows a plus sign, such as 2000+, only the most recent fills are counted.

Volume is the total dollar size they traded.

Maker Fill is how often their orders waited for a price instead of taking the price on offer.

Last Active shows a quiet trader

Last Active says how long ago the trader last traded, for example 3d ago. If you would be copying someone who has gone quiet, nothing will be copied until they trade again. The ranking also holds back a score from an account that has been idle for too long.

What a dash means

A dash is not a zero and not a guess. It means that number could not be worked out: a check was missed, the period is too short, or too few traders qualified. For TrustScore specifically, it means we have not scored that trader.

TrustScore, and what it is not

TrustScore is a 0 to 100 rank built from public on-chain results and compared with other traders who pass the checks. Use it to shorten a long list, not to pick a winner. It only looks backwards.

Being listed is not an endorsement

Traders are ordinary Hyperliquid accounts ranked from public data. We do not vet or pay them, and they have not agreed to be copied.

What can still go wrong

A followed trader can lose money, and so can you. Your copy may fill at a different price than theirs, or be skipped. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

What this page does not tell you

It names no trader, gives no performance figures and does not tell you whom to follow. It describes the numbers as the public card shows them today. To look at traders, go to hypertide.app/leaders. To see how scoring works, read hypertide.app/trustscore.
