Perpetuals · Early access
Copy futures trades to crypto perps.
Keep trading your futures leader on Tradovate, Rithmic or TopstepX. Edgeable will mirror each fill to perpetual futures accounts on Hyperliquid, Bybit and perp prop firms, using a symbol map and sizing rule you set. It's in development. Early-access testers start in DRY_RUN, where orders are worked out and logged but never sent.
In development Futures copying is live today. Perps followers are not live yet.
What changes and what doesn't
01 · Leader
Your leader stays on futures
Same account, same platform, same Cockpit. Edgeable reads fills from your futures leader the way it does today.
02 · Followers
Followers trade a different instrument
A perp isn't a futures contract. It has no expiry, trades around the clock, pays or charges funding, and is sized in units of the underlying rather than contracts.
03 · Rules
You decide the mapping
Nothing is mapped for you. You choose which perp each futures symbol drives and how contracts convert to size, and Edgeable applies it the same way every time.
How futures-to-perps mirroring works
Five steps run on every leader fill. The first four are yours to configure; the fifth is where DRY_RUN decides whether anything is sent.
- 01
Leader fill
A fill lands on your futures leader, for example BUY 2 MNQ. Edgeable picks it up from the broker connection, just as it does for futures followers.
- 02
Symbol map
Your map says what MNQ drives on each follower: xyz:XYZ100 on Hyperliquid, say, or QQQUSDT on Bybit. Symbols you haven't mapped are skipped and logged.
- 03
Size rule
Contracts become perp size using your rule: a fixed amount per contract, or matched notional. The result is rounded down to the venue's size step, never up.
- 04
Pre-trade checks
Per-follower limits run before anything is sent: maximum size, maximum notional, allowed hours and a daily loss stop.
- 05
Send, or log in DRY_RUN
In DRY_RUN the order goes to the activity log with the price it would have used. Switch a follower to live only when the log looks right.
Symbol mapping: related isn't identical
Some perps track the same index or commodity as a futures contract. They're still different instruments, with different hours, pricing and costs. BTC and ETH perps are a different asset altogether.
| Futures leader | Hyperliquid (HIP-3, trade.xyz) | Bybit | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| NQ / MNQNasdaq-100 futures (CME) | xyz:XYZ100 | QQQUSDT | Index perp vs an ETF perp (QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 at a different price level). |
| ES / MESS&P 500 futures (CME) | xyz:SP500 | None listed | No S&P 500 index perp on Bybit at the time of checking. |
| GC / MGCGold futures (COMEX) | xyz:GOLD | XAUUSDT | Spot-style gold perp vs a dated futures contract with its own basis. |
| CL / MCLWTI crude futures (NYMEX) | xyz:CL | Crude oil perp | Check which crude benchmark the perp tracks before mapping. |
| AnyMap to BTC or ETH perps | BTC, ETH | BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT | A different asset entirely. You are translating a signal, not copying exposure. |
Examples only, not recommendations. Listings checked 29 September 2026; what you can trade depends on the venue and your country.
Hours
CME futures pause every day and close at the weekend. Perps don't. If your leader holds over the weekend, the perp follower does too, and it can move while the futures side can't be traded.
Funding
Perp positions pay or receive funding: hourly on Hyperliquid, and usually every eight hours on Bybit (some contracts settle more often). Futures don't have funding.
Price level and basis
A futures price includes carry to expiry; a perp is pulled towards its index by funding. ETF perps such as QQQUSDT trade at a different price level from the index itself.
Fills
Follower fills depend on the perp's own order book. Expect different prices from your leader, and occasionally partial fills.
Leverage and liquidation
Leverage and margin mode are set on the venue. A perp account can be liquidated; a futures prop account has its own drawdown rules. The two won't line up.
Contract-to-size conversion
Futures trade in contracts with a fixed dollar value per point. Perps trade in units of the underlying. You pick how one becomes the other.
| Contract | $ per 1.00 move |
|---|---|
| NQ | $20 |
| MNQ | $2 |
| ES | $50 |
| MES | $5 |
| GC | $100 |
| MGC | $10 |
| CL | $1,000 |
| MCL | $100 |
Fixed per contract
You set a number of perp units per futures contract, for example 1 MNQ = 0.5 units. It's simple and predictable, but it doesn't adjust when prices move or when the perp trades at a different price level.
Matched notional
Edgeable sizes the follower so its dollar exposure matches the leader's:
perp size = contracts × $ per point × futures price ÷ perp price
Worked example (illustrative numbers). 1 MNQ with the Nasdaq-100 future at 20,000 is $2 × 20,000 = $40,000 of exposure. On a perp priced at 20,000 that's 2.0 units. On a perp priced at 500 it's 80 units.
Either way, the size is rounded down to the venue's minimum step, and orders under the venue's minimum are skipped and logged rather than rounded up. Your caps are checked after rounding.
The futures-to-perps guide goes through the maths, rounding and edge cases in more detail.
Venues: planned and in development

See every perp prop firm we've checkedRisk controls and DRY_RUN
Perps are leveraged and trade 24/7, so perps followers are designed to start cautious and stay inside limits you set.
- DRY_RUN
DRY_RUN by default
Every new perps follower starts in DRY_RUN. Edgeable logs the order it would send, with the mapped symbol, rounded size and reference price, and sends nothing until you switch that follower to live.
- KEYS
Trade-only credentials
Hyperliquid API wallets can't withdraw. Bybit keys need order permission only. Edgeable will never ask for withdrawal or transfer permission.
- CAPS
Per-follower caps
Maximum order size, maximum notional per order, maximum open notional and allowed trading hours, set for each follower.
- STOP
Daily loss stop
Stop copying to a follower after a loss you choose, and optionally flatten it.
- FLAT
Flatten and disarm
One action closes positions on every follower in a copy group, futures and perps, and stops further copying.
- WKND
Weekend rule
Optionally flatten perp followers before the CME weekend close, or skip new entries outside futures trading hours.
Guardrails are tools, not guarantees. Orders can be delayed, rejected or filled at different prices, and leveraged perps can be liquidated. You're responsible for each prop firm's and exchange's rules.
Perpetuals questions
Is futures-to-perps mirroring live?
No. It's in development. Futures-to-futures copying across Tradovate, Rithmic and TopstepX is live today. Join early access and we'll email you when your venue is ready to test in DRY_RUN.
Can I copy NQ trades to BTC perps?
You'll be able to map any futures symbol to any supported perp, including NQ to BTC. But NQ and BTC are different assets that don't reliably move together, so the follower is acting on your signal rather than copying your exposure. A Nasdaq-100 perp such as xyz:XYZ100 on Hyperliquid is a closer match.
Is mirroring futures to perps a hedge?
No. Mirroring opens the same direction on the follower. Offsetting exposure is a different strategy, and many prop firms prohibit hedging across accounts.
Which venues are planned?
Hyperliquid and Bybit are in development. Propr and MyFundedPerps are planned. Breakout, Crypto Fund Trader, HyperPNL and Upscale are under review. HyroTrader's rules prohibit account mirroring, so it isn't planned.
Do perp prop firms allow copy trading?
Some do. Propr allows copying between your own accounts, and MyFundedPerps has built-in copying between accounts on your login. HyroTrader bans mirroring. Rules change, so check your firm's current rules before connecting. Our perp prop firm list links to each firm's own wording.
Will Edgeable need withdrawal access to my exchange account?
No. Hyperliquid API wallets can't withdraw, and on Bybit you only enable order permission. Don't give any copier withdrawal or transfer permission.
What is DRY_RUN?
A follower mode where Edgeable works out the mapped order, runs your checks and logs the result without sending anything to the venue. You can compare the log against real leader fills before any money is at risk.
What happens at the weekend?
CME futures close for the weekend; perps keep trading. A perp follower that's still open keeps moving while your leader can't trade. You'll be able to flatten perp followers before the futures close, or block new entries outside futures hours.
How much will it cost?
Perps pricing isn't set yet, and we'll publish it before anything goes live. Today's plans are Cloud Starter $34.99, Cloud Essential $59.99, and Cloud Unlimited $79.99 a month (or quarterly, or yearly with 2 months free), and EDGE40 takes 40% off your first bill.
Can a perps account be the leader?
The first version is built around a futures leader with perps followers. Tell us in the early-access form if you need it the other way round.
