High returns are easy to find. Copyable behavior isn't.
We put 100 top-scoring leaderboard candidates through FiatBear's deep audit. 16 passed. The report classified 83 as not suitable for FiatBear's polling-based copying constraints and 1 as inconclusive. That is not a claim that any of them are bad traders.

Most rejections came from four measurable constraints
Copying adds constraints the original trader never had
A large return can hide a path most followers would not tolerate or survive.
A trader making hundreds of fills per day can move before a polling-based copier sees the change.
Spot and DEX-only activity cannot be reproduced by FiatBear's Hyperliquid perpetuals copier.
A short winning run gives less evidence than behavior that held up over several market regimes.
Reproducible, dated, and deliberately narrow
Evaluated 2026-08-22 19:24 UTC using rules hl-scout-v1.
The scout first filtered public Hyperliquid leaderboard data for account range, profitability, turnover, and edge. It then checked public portfolio and fill history for age, drawdown, recency, pace, holding behavior, and asset coverage.
