Methodology

How the 30 platforms in Copy Trading Index are described, checked and kept up to date.

What goes into the index?

Platforms that let a user copy another trader's trades, automatically or with one confirmation: copy tools for decentralized exchanges such as Hyperliquid, and copy bots for memecoins on chains such as Solana. Copy trading on centralized exchanges and with brokers is left out: the index covers copy trading on decentralized exchanges. Analytics dashboards without copying, products that are closed, and pre-sale projects without a working product are also left out.

When is a platform custodial?

One question decides it: can the platform move your funds without you? If your funds stay on your own exchange account and the platform only gets a key that the exchange itself stops from withdrawing, such as a Hyperliquid agent wallet, the platform is non-custodial. If the platform holds your funds, pools them in a vault, or creates a wallet for you and signs for it to copy trades, it is custodial, even when you can export the wallet's private key: exporting gives you a copy of the key, not sole control.

Which facts are recorded?

The same fields for every platform: where the funds sit, whether the key can withdraw, how you sign up and whether an identity check (KYC) is required, the fee model and its numbers, the apps, the venues and assets, tokenized assets, the risk controls, the regions excluded, key features, one fact that stands out, pros and cons, and the sources. The full list of fields is in the JSON export.

Where do the facts come from?

From each platform's own documentation, fee pages, terms and app-store listings first. A fact taken only from a third-party article is marked on the platform's page. Each page lists its sources with the date they were read.

Is there a score or a ranking?

No. Platforms are listed in alphabetical order and described with the same fields. Filters and lists sort them by facts, not by opinion. There are no affiliate links.

What does “Agent First” mean?

Each platform is checked against one question: can an AI agent with its own wallet use it end to end, with no human step? That means signing up without email, phone, Telegram account or CAPTCHA; following, changing and stopping copies through an official API or MCP server, not only reading data; moving funds on-chain; paying without a card; and terms that allow it. “Agent First” marks the platforms that pass every point. Each platform page shows the result under “AI agents”: yes, after a one-time setup by a person, or no. The AI agents guide explains how an agent copy trades and what it costs.

Why do some platforms have no logo?

A logo is shown only when the platform publishes a brand or media kit that lets others use it, or provides its logo; the other platforms show the first letter of their name. Logos are trademarks of their owners.

How often is it updated?

Every platform is checked again at least once a month; each page shows its last verification date. Fees and availability change often: check the platform's own terms before you use it.

Does this site measure its visitors?

Yes, to learn which facts are useful. It counts the pages read, by people and by AI agents, and a few actions on the page: how far a page is read, searches, lists and filters used, links opened to a platform. There are no cookies and no advertising or third-party tools. IP addresses are not stored: each visitor gets an anonymous code that changes every day. AI agents can also say that a page helped them, through the feedback endpoint described in llms.txt. Votes are unverified opinions: the team reads them, and they are never published as a score or ranking. Messages sent through Feedback are kept and read by the team; an email address, if you leave one, is used only to reply.

Is this financial advice?

No. Copy Trading Index describes products; it does not recommend trades, traders or platforms. Copy trading can lose money, including everything you put in.
