## Evaluating Proposals

Consider before accepting:

**Capital vs. Risk Limits**

* Higher capital = more profit potential
* Tighter drawdown = less room for volatility
* Match limits to your trading style

**Duration**

* Short (7-14 days): Quick turnaround, less time pressure
* Long (30-90 days): More flexibility, longer commitment

**Profit Share**

* Higher share = better for you
* Consider total capital × expected return × your share

## Accepting a Proposal

1. Navigate to **Funding > Proposals**
2. Find pending proposals addressed to you
3. Click **Review Proposal**
4. Verify all terms carefully
5. Click **Accept Deal**
6. Sign EIP-712 message with your wallet
7. Wait for vault activation (1-5 minutes)

## After Acceptance

**Vault Created:**

* Dedicated EOA wallet for this deal
* Investor's USDC bridged to Hyperliquid
* Agent wallet created for trading

**Copy Trading (Optional):**

* If enabled, your personal trades auto-copy to vault
* Proportional sizing based on balance ratio
* Configurable slippage tolerance

**Manual Trading:**

* Trade directly from vault via terminal
* Select vault in vault mode dropdown
* All pre-checks enforced automatically

## Maximizing Success

**Build Your Profile:**

* Trade consistently before seeking funding
* Maintain strong Atract Score

**Match Risk to Strategy:**

* Only accept deals matching your style
