Hypertrade Risk Disclosure
Read this before you trade real money with Hypertrade. Trading perpetual futures with leverage is high risk and is not suitable for everyone. Most people who trade leveraged derivatives lose money. Only use funds you can afford to lose entirely.
You can lose money, including quickly and in full
Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. A small move against a leveraged position can trigger liquidation and wipe out the margin behind it in a very short time. In fast or illiquid markets your loss can exceed what you expected. Past results, including any testnet or backtested track record shown in Hypertrade, do not predict future results.
Specific risks of perpetual futures
- Liquidation. If your margin falls below the maintenance requirement, the venue may close your position automatically at a loss.
- Funding costs. Perpetual futures charge periodic funding payments that can erode a position the longer it is held.
- Slippage and gaps. Orders may fill at worse prices than expected, and prices can gap through your stop during volatile moves.
- Volatility. Crypto markets can move sharply at any hour, including outside typical trading patterns.
The AI can be wrong
The AI model that proposes trades in Hypertrade is a statistical model. It can misread the market, produce incorrect output, or behave unexpectedly. The Hypertrade risk engine constrains what any proposal can do, but it cannot make a losing strategy profitable. The engine limits risk; it does not create an edge and does not guarantee gains.
What the Hypertrade risk engine does and does not do
- It enforces the hard limits you set, including leverage cap, risk per trade, daily loss limit, and drawdown auto-pause.
- It can veto or resize a proposal and pause a desk when your limits are reached.
- It cannot guarantee a fill price, prevent slippage or liquidation, or protect against venue outages, network failures, oracle errors, or extreme market moves.
Technology and venue risk
Hypertrade depends on third-party systems, including the Hyperliquid venue, blockchain networks, and any AI provider you connect. These can experience downtime, congestion, bugs, or smart-contract and security incidents that are outside Hypertrade's control and that may prevent trades from being placed, managed, or closed as intended.
Wallet, account-mode, and transfer risk
Hypertrade may rely on identity, wallet, routing, onramp, blockchain, and trading-venue providers. A provider can delay, reject, misroute, or be unable to recover a transfer. Quotes and deposit addresses expire and may be valid only for the exact asset, network, amount, and refund address shown. Sending a different asset or using a different network can cause loss or require manual recovery. Hyperliquid account modes can represent balances, margin, and collateral differently; Hypertrade blocks new risk when a supported mode cannot be read reliably.
You remain in control of your funds
Hypertrade is non-custodial. Your funds stay in your user-controlled wallet and at the trading venue, except while a transfer you requested is being routed by a disclosed provider. The automated trade-only agent cannot authorize an external withdrawal. Owner-sensitive actions require user authorization. You are responsible for your identity account, devices, wallet recovery methods, external wallets, and the mandate and settings you choose.
Regulatory and eligibility risk
Leveraged derivatives are restricted or prohibited in some jurisdictions. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Hypertrade and of leveraged derivatives is lawful where you live. Access may be restricted from jurisdictions Hypertrade cannot serve.
Start on testnet
Hypertrade defaults to the Hyperliquid testnet, with no real money at stake. Build a track record and understand how your desk behaves before considering real-money trading. Only risk what you can afford to lose.
Not advice
Nothing in Hypertrade is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, and nothing in the Service is a recommendation to enter into any transaction. You are solely responsible for your decisions and for complying with the laws that apply to you. For questions, contact [email protected].
