openbroker

What This Skill Does

The openbroker skill is a sophisticated Hyperliquid trading CLI tool designed to streamline interaction with the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange. It acts as an autonomous interface for managing your perpetual and spot trading activities directly from your terminal. By abstracting complex API interactions into intuitive command-line inputs, openbroker enables users to execute market and limit orders, manage open positions, monitor real-time funding rates, and perform advanced market analysis without ever leaving the terminal environment.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw management command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bobdevibecoder/bobagent-openbroker

Ensure you have Node.js installed globally on your machine, as the underlying engine requires it. Once installed, initialize your configuration using:

openbroker setup

This will walk you through wallet generation or import and establish the necessary builder fee authorizations required for high-speed trading.

Use Cases

• Automated Trading Strategies: Use in scripts to execute trades based on external signals or predefined technical indicators.
• Portfolio Management: Quickly check your equity, margin usage, and open positions across your entire Hyperliquid account.
• Market Research: Utilize the comprehensive market search and funding rate trackers to identify trading opportunities across various perp and spot markets.
• Risk Management: Quickly apply take-profit and stop-loss targets to active positions to manage risk programmatically.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenBroker, check the current funding rate for HYPE and show me my open positions for ETH."
2. "Place a limit buy order for 5 SOL at a price of $145 with an ALO time-in-force constraint."
3. "Set a take profit at +15% and a stop loss at my entry price for my current BTC position."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: Always verify your configuration and API keys before executing large trades. Keep your ~/.openbroker/.env file secure.
• Builder Fee: The setup command is mandatory as it authorizes the builder fee. Without this, trading operations will fail.
• Slippage: Always specify a slippage parameter for market orders during high volatility to prevent unfavorable fills.
• Data Accuracy: Ensure your system clock is synchronized to avoid order rejection due to timestamp discrepancies with the Hyperliquid API.
