Explanation

Funding Account

Your primary deposit wallet on Coinpilot. Funds stored here are ready to be transferred into your Trading Account to start copying trades or ready to be withdrawn to your external on-chain wallet.

Trading Account

The wallet that is used to copy lead traders' positions. Only funds in your Trading Account are used for copy trading.

Sub-wallets

A sub-wallet is a wallet automatically created under your Coinpilot account when you copy a lead trader.

  • Each lead trader you follow gets its own sub-wallet.

  • Funds allocated to copy that trader are kept here.

  • This separation helps track performance per trader and keeps positions organized.

  • Sub-wallets are still fully under your control — you can transfer funds back to your primary wallet at any time.

PnL

Profit and Loss. The amount of money gained or lost from trading, shown in green or red. (e.g., +$1200 or -$300).

ROI

Return of Investment. Percentage gain or loss relative to your initial allocation or this lead trader’s own initial capital. Formula: (PnL / Starting Balance) x 100

Account Balance

The total value of assets in a trader's account at a given time - used as a performance reference. This is expressed in $, abbreviation as Bal. (e.g., Bal: $2023.5)

Balance (per trader)

  • The total funds tied to a specific lead trader you are copying.

  • Includes your initial allocation plus all realized profits or losses since you started copying that trader.

  • This balance grows or shrinks with PnL and is what gets used for the trader’s future trades until you stop copying.

Don’t confuse this with your Account Balance:

  • Account Balance = the sum of all funds across your primary wallet and all trader allocations.

  • Balance (per trader) = only the funds allocated and accumulated with one specific lead trader.

Allocation

The amount of USDC you have allocated to copy trades executed by a specific trader.

Max Drawdown

The largest peak-to-trough drop in account value during a time period. It reflects risk and downside volatility.

Volume

The total amount of capital traded over a selected time period, expressed in $

Curated

A list of top-performing traders curated by Coinpilot’s proprietary process. Copy trading involves risk, this is not financial advice. Always DYOR.

Vault

An automated fund or strategy (originating from Hyperliquid) where users can passively follow managed trades by depositing capital into a shared trading pool.

Watchlist

Your personal list of favorite traders. Add any wallet you want to track or copy later.

Current Balance

The real-time value of assets in the lead trader’s Trading Account.

Period Return

The gain or loss over a specific time frame (1D, 7D, 30D, All time.), shown in green or red.

Entry Price

The price at which a position was opened.

Mark Price

A real-time reference price used to calculate unrealized PnL and liquidation thresholds. It reflects the fair market value.

Leverage

Using borrowed funds to increase trade size (or reduce the margin used to get a certain level of exposure).

Liquidation

The price at which a leveraged position will be automatically closed due to insufficient margin to cover losses.

Margin

The portion of your funds utilized to open and maintain a leveraged position.

Sharpe Ratio

A performance metric that shows return per unit of risk (volatility). Higher is better, meaning the investment is providing more return for the level of risk it carries

Ad. Sortino Ratio

Adjusted Sortino Ratio. A version of Sharpe Ratio that focuses only on downside volatility. It’s often seen as a more accurate risk-adjusted return metric. A higher Sortino ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance, as it suggests the investment is producing more return for a given level of negative volatility.

GPR Ratio

Gain-to-Pain Ratio. It measures average gain relative to average loss. Higher values suggest a more favorable risk/reward profile.

Open Positions

Trades that are currently active and not yet closed. These positions can show unrealized gains or losses and are in a lead trader’s portfolio.

Privy Wallet

A secure, self-custodial wallet created through Privy, used by Coinpilot to manage on-chain trading for users. It lives in your browser session, fully under your control, with private keys encrypted and recoverable via your login method (e.g., email).

Direct Referral

Direct referrals are users who join the platform using your referral code. You’ll earn the highest referral percentage from the trading fees generated by your direct referrals.

All Referrals

All referrals include users who join through your direct referral’s codes, as well as anyone referred by them, up to 4 total levels deep. You’ll earn a percentage of trading fees from all these users, with the percentage depending on each referral’s level.
