How to copy-trade with Hypertide.

Hypertide works two ways, on the same account. Pick the one you'll actually open.

• Telegram bot — search for @hypertide_bot. Connect, pick traders, and get a message each time a trade is copied for you. It all happens in a chat, and it's built for your phone.
• Web app — open the Discover page in a browser. Sign in with your wallet or with Telegram. There's no new password, and it's the same account either way, in a fuller trading view.

Both doors work from scratch. Each one makes your account the first time you sign in, and both take you to the same wallet connect step. Just looking? The public Leaders page needs no account at all.

You give our bot a limited key. Hyperliquid calls it an agent wallet. It is made when you connect, and the bot holds it — your own wallet key never leaves you. You approve it from your own wallet with two signatures. Your wallet shows you the exact words of each one before you sign (a standard format called EIP-712):

• Approve agent — signature 1 of 2. You sign a message in your wallet — no network fee to pay, and no money moves.
• Approve builder fee — signature 2 of 2. The same kind of message. It sets the highest fee we can charge you.

Both are messages you sign in your wallet. So there is no gas — that's the network fee you normally pay on a blockchain — and no funds are moved. There is no third signature: the server confirms the agent approval in Hyperliquid's own records instead of asking you to sign again. The bot uses this key to place orders, cancel orders and set leverage, to follow the traders you choose. Hyperliquid's agent permissions stop it from withdrawing your funds or sending them to another address. That is enforced by Hyperliquid, not by us.

To copy trades you need money in your account to back them. That backing money is called collateral. You deposit USDC to your own Hyperliquid account, the normal way, on Hyperliquid. USDC is a crypto coin meant to hold a value of one US dollar. Hypertide is not part of that step and never holds the money.

Your collateral stays in your own Hyperliquid account the whole time. The agent can trade it. Hyperliquid does not let it withdraw your money or send it to another address — enforced by Hyperliquid, not by us — so adding money hands custody to nobody.

Open Top Traders to see a ranked list built from public Hyperliquid on-chain data — the trades anyone can look up on the network. Hypertide has no affiliation with these traders and none of this is an endorsement. Or paste any Hyperliquid address to look a trader up directly.

Every trader shows the same five numbers. Read them together, not one in isolation:

• TrustScore (shown as Trust) — a 0–100 rank, built from five things: return measured against how bumpy the ride was (Sharpe), drawdown, consistency, win rate and ROI. It compares this trader with the other listed traders. A high score does not predict what happens next.
• Sharpe — how much return they got compared with how bumpy the ride was, day to day. A higher number means more return for the same bumpiness. It does not mean a low chance of losing money.
• ROI — how much that trader's account grew or shrank over the period, in percent. It counts open positions, funding and fees. It is their number, not yours.
• Max DD — max drawdown: the worst drop from a high point down to a low one. Money they put in or took out doesn't fake the shape of the curve (a deposit-adjusted curve).
• Win — out of the trades they have already closed, the share that made money. Trades still open don't count.

Pick a trader and start copying. A fill is an order, or one piece of an order, going through — one order can fill in several pieces, and each piece is copied. When a fill opens or adds to a position, we copy it at the same percentage of your account that the fill was of theirs — not their dollar amount. So a $1,000 account and a $100,000 one follow the same trade in proportion. If your account is under $300 when you follow, the follow instead defaults to a fixed $15 trade for each of those fills, because a percentage of a small balance would fall under Hyperliquid's minimum. So an order that fills in 4 pieces makes 4 copies. Either way, when the trader cuts back or closes, your copy is cut back by the same share of your position. (If that cut is under Hyperliquid's ~$10 minimum, it is skipped — or, when what would be left is also under $10, the whole copy is closed.)

Want a ceiling on any single copy? Turn on the per-fill cap. It's off by default.

Once you're following, it runs itself. When a trader opens, adds to, or closes a position, Hypertide places the matching order on your account straight away. You get a notification for every copied fill: one message per copied fill, with the coin, the direction, the size and the price.

Because only new fills copy, following a trader part-way through a move means you join from that point on — not at the price they first got in at.

Copying is high-risk. Perpetual futures — crypto trades that bet on a price going up or down, and never expire — can lose money, and a trader you follow can too. Hypertide gives you the controls; you set them.

• Stop-loss — a new follow starts with a 10% stop-loss unless you pick another number or turn it off. If the price moves 10% against a copied position from its average entry, we close it at market. It is checked on a timer, not placed as an order on Hyperliquid, so in a fast market it can close at a worse price. There is no take-profit unless you set one.
• Drawdown auto-pause — you set a percentage. If your copy profit and loss (P&L) drops by that much, every follow pauses automatically and you get a heads-up. It counts the last 7 days, realized plus what's open: money you have banked, plus the gain or loss on your open trades right now. It's checked every minute.
• Blacklist — name a coin you never want copied, and we skip it.
• Pause / resume — stop new copies any time, then pick back up.
• Unfollow — stop copying a trader whenever you like. Your open positions stay yours to manage — Hypertide stops copying and leaves the positions it opened with you, to keep or to close; it does not liquidate them for you, and its stop-loss stops watching them.

Hypertide gets paid in exactly one way. Hyperliquid lets an app tag the orders it sends and get paid a small fee on them — that's the builder fee. You approve it yourself before anything runs — it is the second of the two signatures in step 2 — and it is charged on every order that fills, opening and closing. There's no subscription, we charge no deposit or withdrawal fee, and there's no token, no airdrop. Hyperliquid still charges its own trading fees and a withdrawal fee, and you pay or receive funding while a position is open — those are Hyperliquid's, not ours.

• 0.1% per filled order ($1 per $1,000), opens and closes (~$2 per $1,000 round trip).
• Drops to 0.05% after $10,000 of opening volume in the last 30 days — a rolling window, so it lapses if your recent volume falls. Opening volume means the trades placed through Hypertide that open a position or add to one; closing trades are charged the fee, they just don't count toward the $10,000.
• Hyperliquid caps the builder fee on perpetual futures at 0.1% — we cannot charge more, and you see it before you sign.
