HTX Human Elite Copy Trading Bot is a TypeScript program that automatically copies the trades of selected expert traders on the HTX cryptocurrency exchange, formerly known as Huobi. It works with USDT margined futures contracts, meaning it copies positions that use borrowed capital to amplify both gains and losses, rather than buying coins outright. The bot watches one or more chosen elite traders and copies their moves in one of three ways. Smart Copy sizes your trades in proportion to how much of their own funds the leader is using, so your exposure roughly matches theirs. Fixed Ratio copies a set percentage of whatever size the leader trades, for example always taking 10 percent of their position. Elite Sentiment does not follow a specific person at all. Instead it reacts to HTX's public data on what the overall pool of elite traders is doing, going long or short based on how many of them are buying versus selling. Before risking real money, the bot can run in paper trading mode, which simulates trades against a fake starting balance so a user can see how a strategy would have performed. It also includes several safety settings: stop loss and take profit percentages that close a position automatically, a maximum size per trade, a limit on how many positions can be open at once, and a daily loss limit that pauses copying if losses get too large in one day. To use it, a person needs Node.js installed and an HTX account with API access enabled for futures trading. Configuration happens through a single environment file where the user lists the trader IDs to follow, chooses a copy mode, and sets the risk limits. A command line interface lets someone validate their settings, list the traders they have configured, check current sentiment data, or run a single test cycle before starting the bot for real. The project is released under the MIT license, so it is free to use and modify. As with any automated trading tool, it carries real financial risk. The author warns that trading futures with borrowed capital can lose more than the amount originally invested, and recommends thorough paper trading before using real funds.
