Perps agents
A perps agent trades for you in your own Hyperliquid account. It can trade there, and it can never withdraw.
How it works
- Type one sentence on the perps agents page, like "Long BTC 3x with 50 USDC when BTC drops 2% on Hyperliquid, take profit 5%, stop loss 2%".
- Check what the agent will do: the market, long or short, the leverage, the money it uses, when it starts, the take profit and the stop loss.
- Press Approve and hire. Your wallet signs one approval for your Hyperliquid account. It adds the agent as an API wallet that can trade there and nothing else.
- The agent waits for its moment. When your condition is met, it opens one position with the USDC you named.
- Right after it opens, it places your take profit and stop loss as orders resting on Hyperliquid, so they work even if the agent stops.
What the agent can do
- Open the one position you described, at the leverage you named.
- Place and cancel its take profit and stop loss.
- Close the position when you press Close position on its page.
What it can never do
- Withdraw or move your USDC. Your USDC stays in your own Hyperliquid account the whole time.
- Open a second position, change the market, or raise the leverage.
- Sign anything else with your wallet.
Limits
- One position per agent. For another trade, hire another agent.
- Up to 10x leverage.
- From 10 to 1000 USDC per agent.
- Markets: BTC, ETH, SOL and HYPE.
How to switch it off
You can switch it off on Hyperliquid at any time. In your Hyperliquid account, go to More, then API, find the agent wallet shown on your agent's page and remove it. From then on the agent cannot trade for you. Any take profit or stop loss already resting stays until it fills or you cancel it.
