The trader opened a position and you did not. Hypercopy tells you why in the chat; this page explains each reason and what, if anything, to change.
below minimum
Hyperliquid refuses orders under $10 notional. Your copy of the trader's order was smaller. Fix: in pro rata, invest at least the advised minimum the bot shows for this trader (small adds are grouped and copied once they reach $10); with a % per trade, raise your share (the bot shows the smallest trader order copied: $10 ÷ share); or accept that this trader's small orders will be skipped. Full closes are exempt: if the trader goes flat, your position is closed whatever its size.
insufficient margin
Hyperliquid refused the order because your free margin could not cover it at the copy's leverage. Hypercopy skips the entry, rests entries on that wallet for five minutes and tells you, at most once a day; the copy keeps going, it is never paused for this. Fix: deposit, lower the copy's size (amount, fixed $ or %), or reduce the number of concurrent copies. Exits are unaffected; reducing a position needs no margin.
wallet's limit in trades reached
You set a limit in trades on this wallet (there is none by default), and all its copies already hold that much in margin. New trades are skipped; exits never are. The message names the wallet. Fix: raise the limit in 👛 my wallets → ⚙️ leverage management, or close positions.
no fill
Hypercopy sent an immediate-or-cancel order at mid ±1% (or within your max slippage, if you set one on the copy) and the market had already moved past it. Nothing was opened, nothing was charged. This is by design: chasing a move that has already run is how copies lose. Entries are not retried; the next move of the trader is copied normally. Fix: none needed. If it happens often with one trader, they trade faster or on thinner coins than a copy can follow. See copy latency and slippage.
copy paused
By you, or by the circuit breaker (one invalid agent, one missing builder approval, or five rejected orders in an hour). A lack of margin never pauses a copy. A paused copy takes no entries and still mirrors exits. Fix: resolve the cause, then resume under my copies.
you hold this coin yourself
You hold a position on this coin on the copy's wallet that is yours, not a copy's: opened from 📊 trade in the bot, or by hand on app.hyperliquid.xyz. Hyperliquid keeps one position per coin and account, so a copy never opens or adds on it while your position is there, and never takes your add as its own. Fix: none needed; once your own position is closed, the trader's next opening on that coin is copied.
stop-loss required
A copy in cross margin or like the trader needs a stop-loss: one position can then take the whole wallet down. The bot will not start or save such a copy without one. Fix: set a stop-loss in ⚙️ advanced settings, or switch the copy's margin to isolated (✏️ margin).
agent expired or invalid
The agent key hypercopy uses to sign is past its 179 days, or was revoked on hyperliquid. Copies were stopped and their positions closed the day before expiry, with a message. Fix: re-activate in the bot, one signature, which issues a fresh agent. See agent keys explained.
builder fee not approved
Entries need your approval of hypercopy's 0.05% builder fee on the account; without it, hypercopy refuses to open positions (it still closes them). This happens on a wallet that never activated, or where the approval was revoked. Fix: activate in the bot, which asks for the approval signature.
coin blocked after a stop-loss or take-profit
Your stop-loss, the last step of your take-profit or the stop at entry closed the position on this coin, so hypercopy will not re-enter it until the trader goes flat on it. Otherwise their next add would reopen what you just closed. Fix: none; it unblocks by itself when they exit. Or start a fresh copy of the same trader, which has no memory of the block.
add skipped after a take-profit step
On perps, a step of your take-profit sold part of this position. Hypercopy then follows the trader's cuts on what is left, not their adds, so a trade you banked on does not grow back. This skip is silent. Fix: none; once the trader goes flat on the coin, their next opening is copied normally.
position pre-dates the copy
When you started the copy, the trader already held this coin. Their adds to an existing position are not copied; you join when they go through zero and open again. Fix: none. Opening their existing position at today's price would be buying a trade that already happened.
not a core perp
The trader traded a hip-3 market, or spot while you copy their perps. A 📈 perps copy follows core perps only; spot trades are copied by a 🪙 spot copy of the same trader, if their spot trading passes the spot filters. Hip-3 markets are not copied. Fix: for spot, start a 🪙 spot copy.
you copy your own account, or a follower
Hypercopy refuses to copy your own address (it would loop) and traders who are themselves hypercopy followers (their moves are copies). Fix: pick another trader.
checking on hyperliquid
Every copied order shows on hyperliquid under your address, with the client order id hypercopy assigned. If you see a fill there that the bot did not report, or the reverse, contact support through the bot with the coin and time.
faq
the trader's trade was copied, but smaller than expected
Your max per trade capped it, your pro rata amount had no more room (a copy's margin never goes beyond its amount), or part of the trader's fills arrived after the coalescing window and were treated as a second, smaller move that fell under $10.
a trade was copied that the trader did not make
Check the address: two traders can look alike. If the address matches, contact support with the order's time; the reconciliation pass should have closed any position the trader does not hold within a minute.
can hypercopy retry a missed entry?
No, on purpose. A retry chases the price. The next move is copied normally.
