Which exchanges already support CopyTrader, why does copytrading need a cross-exchange architecture, and how does HyperLiquid connectivity differ from regular CEX integration?
The support of the new exchange in copy trading is not just another logo on the page. Each platform has its own trading pairs, quantity and price accuracy, position modes, leverage limits, order types, and API restrictions. If you simply forward the original order without verification, the result on the investors account may differ from the traders transaction or even be unacceptable for the selected exchange.
Therefore, the CopyTrader extension goes through a single execution loop, where the trading intention is translated into the commands of a specific site and checked taking into account its rules.
Which exchanges are already connected
CopyTrader currently works with nine centralized exchanges.:
- Binance;
- Bybit;
- OKX;
- Bitget;
- BingX;
- KuCoin;
- MEXC;
- BloFin;
- Gate.io.
At the same time, the trader and the investor are not required to be on the same site. Cross-trading allows you to transfer a transaction between different exchanges if the desired instrument and trading mode are supported by both parties.
This expands the selection, but adds technical checks. For example, a trader may have a hedge mode, and an investor may have a one—way; the available leverage for one contract may vary; symbols and minimum volumes also do not always match. If the parameters cannot be safely agreed upon, the system must explain the reason and not send a questionable order.
Why does the number of exchanges alone not guarantee anything?
For correct copying, it is not the fact that the API is enabled that is important, but the behavior of the system in inconvenient situations.:
- The price left before the signal reached another account.;
- there is no necessary pair on the investors exchange;
- The leverage or position mode does not match;
- the volume is less than the minimum allowed;
- The exchange rejected the request or responded with a delay.;
- the limit order was partially executed;
- the position on the account is already different from the expected one.
Such cases cannot be fixed with a nice "copy" button. We need price control, volume normalization, profiles of exchange opportunities, re-reconciliation of actual positions, and a clear log of the reasons why the operation was completed, skipped, or rejected.
When designing CopyTrader, we adhere to a conservative principle: it is better to skip an ambiguous transaction than to copy it with an unpredictable result. This is less impressive than the promise of "we repeat everything," but it is more honest in terms of risk.
The next step is HyperLiquid
We are currently testing HyperLiquid integration. Copying of market and limit orders is already working in the test circuit. We are currently collecting statistics. The next steps are to connect Checker and integrate with the CopyTrader account.
HyperLiquid cannot be connected as another regular CEX. On a centralized exchange, the user usually creates an API key with trading rights and disabled withdrawal of funds. HyperLiquid works with the wallet address and signed actions. The official API supports separate API wallets that can sign trading actions on behalf of the main account without withdrawal rights.
Because of this, the integration contour itself is changing. You need to consider:
- the address of the main account and the individual subscriber;
- nonce and protection against resending an action;
- request signing rules;
- the actual status of positions in the on-chain ledger;
- revoking API wallet credentials;
- differences in order types, accuracy, and margin modes.
Market and limit orders are just the beginning. Before deciding on a public launch, it is necessary to check cancellation, partial execution, reduce-only, position desynchronization, repeat after a network error, and restore the state after restarting the service.
What does this give the trader
A trader does not need to transfer his work to every platform that the audience uses. He continues to trade on the selected account, and CopyTrader adapts the supported operations to the investors accounts.
For owners of their own auto-tracking services, this also means a wider choice of sites within the same infrastructure. The project can be developed under its own brand and domain, without building a separate copier for each exchange.
What the investor gets
The investor maintains an account on a suitable exchange and is not required to transfer funds to the traders platform. Transactions are executed on his own account. For CEX, trading API keys are used without the right to withdraw funds; for HyperLiquid, a separate authorization loop is being tested through the wallet and the wallet API.
However, copying does not make the invoice results identical. The entry price, liquidity, fees, funding, available leverage, and execution speed vary. A good copy system should show these discrepancies, not hide them.
Where is CopyTrader going?
The current circuit covers nine CEX: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, BingX, KuCoin, MEXC, BloFin and Gate.io . HyperLiquid integration is still at the testing stage: after collecting statistics, Checker and the CopyTrader cabinet will have to be connected.
We are not expanding CopyTrader for the sake of an exchange counter. The goal is to give traders and investors more freedom of choice, while maintaining control over execution and understandable reasons for each decision of the system.

Copy trading does not guarantee profitability. The total amount in the investors account depends on the market, risk parameters, liquidity, commissions and quality of execution.
