Copy Trading Overview

Automatically replicate the trades of successful Hyperliquid traders across any supported DEX (Hyperliquid, Aster, or Lighter) with customizable risk parameters and position sizing.

What is Copy Trading?

Copy Trading allows you to automatically mirror the perpetual futures trades of elite traders on Hyperliquid. When your selected trader opens or closes a position, B3X AI Navigator instantly replicates the trade on your chosen DEX with your configured size and leverage.

Key Benefits:

• Learn from Experts: Follow proven traders and observe their strategies
• Automated Execution: Trades execute automatically within milliseconds
• Customizable Risk: Control position sizes, leverage, and symbol filters
• Cross-DEX Flexibility: Execute on Hyperliquid, Aster, or Lighter
• Full Transparency: Track every copied trade with detailed performance metrics

How Copy Trading Works

1. Real-Time Trade Detection

B3X AI Navigator monitors Hyperliquid's WebSocket feed for trades from your selected traders. When a trader executes a fill (market order completion), the system detects it instantly.

Monitored Events:

• Market buy/sell orders
• Position opens and closes
• All perpetual futures symbols

Not Monitored:

• Limit orders (only filled orders trigger copies)
• Spot trades
• Transfers or withdrawals

2. Automatic Trade Replication

Once detected, the system:

1. Validates the trade against your configuration rules
2. Calculates your position size based on your strategy
3. Sets your configured leverage on the target DEX
4. Executes the order on your chosen DEX
5. Records the trade with full details

Execution Speed: Typically 200-500ms from trader's fill to your order placement.

3. Configuration Control

You maintain complete control through your copy trading configuration:

Position Sizing:

• Fixed Amount: Use a fixed margin amount per trade
• Fixed Ratio: Copy a percentage of the trader's position size

Risk Controls:

• Set minimum and maximum trade sizes
• Filter by allowed or excluded symbols
• Configure fixed leverage (1x-50x)
• Pause/resume copying anytime

Execution Settings:

• Choose execution DEX (Hyperliquid, Aster, or Lighter)
• One active configuration per DEX at a time

Copy Trading Architecture

WebSocket Monitoring

B3X AI Navigator connects to Hyperliquid's public WebSocket feed to monitor real-time trades. When you create an active copy trading configuration:

1. System subscribes to the trader's address
2. Monitors all trades on the trades channel
3. Filters for your subscribed trader's fills
4. Publishes detected trades to internal processing queue

Trade Processing

Each detected trade goes through:

Deduplication: Ensures each trader fill is processed only once using Redis caching with 24-hour TTL.

Risk Validation:

• Active and not paused
• Symbol allowed (not in excluded list, in allowed list if specified)
• Trade size within min/max limits

Size Calculation:

• Fixed Strategy: Position Size = (Fixed Amount × Leverage) / Price
• Fixed Ratio Strategy: Position Size = Trader Size × Ratio Percentage

Execution:

• Set leverage on target DEX
• Place market order
• Handle B3X trading fees (Hyperliquid only)
• Record order and copy trade details

Important Limitations

Source Limitations

Hyperliquid Only: Copy trading currently monitors traders on Hyperliquid only. You cannot copy traders from Aster or Lighter.

Perpetual Futures Only: Only perpetual futures trades are copied. Spot trades are not monitored.

Filled Orders Only: The system detects completed fills (market orders). Limit orders that haven't filled yet are not copied.

Execution Limitations

One Active Config Per DEX: You can only have one active copy trading configuration per execution DEX at a time. This prevents conflicting orders.

Leverage Constraints: Your configured leverage is subject to each DEX's maximum leverage limits per symbol. The system uses the lower of your configured leverage or the market's maximum.

No Leverage Detection: The trader's leverage is not available from WebSocket data. You configure your own fixed leverage independent of the trader's leverage.

Performance Considerations

Execution Delay: Typical 200-500ms delay from trader's fill to your order. Market conditions may cause slippage between trader's price and your execution price.

Market Liquidity: Your order executes at current market price. Low liquidity may result in worse fills than the trader received.

Fees Apply: You pay DEX trading fees plus B3X trading fees. On Hyperliquid: $0.01 fixed fee + 0.05% of order value. Aster and Lighter: No trading fees (coming soon).
