Trading Perpetuals on Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid order execution is live through the Trade Execution Agent on ACP and through the matching x402 endpoints. The /app RSI Scalper page is a separate strategy preview: it has executed zero public trades and is not enabled for public execution.

​

Key Features

1. Seamless & Secure “One-Click” Trading:
   • For each session, Otto generates a temporary, in-browser ephemeral key for trading.
   • After a single, initial approval for the session, you can execute trades without needing to sign every transaction. This key is discarded when your session ends, ensuring your main wallet keys are never exposed for trading operations.
2. Open and Close Positions:
   • Open long or short positions with the ACP trade_perpetuals job or x402 POST /trade-perpetuals.
   • Close positions with close_position or POST /close-position.
3. Risk Controls:
   • Set leverage subject to the asset’s Hyperliquid limit, with optional native take-profit and stop-loss orders.
   • Modify orders and isolated-position margin through the dedicated management jobs or endpoints.
4. Account Awareness:
   • Query getHyperliquidAccount (ACP) or GET /hyperliquid-account (x402) before placing an order to check available USDC, open positions, margin, and orders.

How to Trade

1. Choose a live rail: use acp-cli with the Trade Execution Agent or call the x402 storefront.
2. Check and fund the account: query the Hyperliquid account first. If needed, use hyperliquid_deposit_withdrawal on ACP or POST /hl-deposit-withdraw on x402.
3. Set up the trade: provide the asset, position size, direction, leverage, and any take-profit or stop-loss values. Example positions you can set up:
   • Long 0.5 ETH with 10x leverage
   • Short 1000 ARB with 5x leverage
   • View your open positions, margin, and account balance on Hyperliquid
4. Initial Approval: For your first trade in a session, you’ll be asked to approve the use of the temporary session key.
5. Submit and verify: review the exact parameters, submit the job or paid request, and verify the returned position and order state with the account resource.

Security Note: All your Hyperliquid trading data, such as leverage settings and position details, are strictly isolated to your account and session.

Getting Out

Today, exiting Hyperliquid means using the live rails above: cancel your orders with the order-management jobs or endpoints, close each position with close_position / POST /close-position, then withdraw with hyperliquid_deposit_withdrawal / POST /hl-deposit-withdraw. Withdrawals settle on Arbitrum and are pinned server-side to your own Otto Safe address — a request cannot send your money anywhere else. Because Otto’s runtime signs each of those steps, getting out currently depends on Otto’s service being available. That is the honest state of things, and it is worth knowing before you size a position.
