hyperliquid-perps

What This Skill Does

The hyperliquid-perps skill is an advanced autonomous trading agent designed for the Hyperliquid decentralized perpetual exchange. It provides a robust interface for both paper trading and live market execution. The core functionality centers on algorithmic decision-making, employing 'Smart Leverage' logic that dynamically scales positions—typically 1x, 3x, or 5x—based on the detected strength of trading signals. It integrates technical analysis indicators, specifically On-Balance Volume (OBV) divergence, to identify potential trend reversals or continuations before they manifest in price action. Furthermore, the skill handles risk management automatically by deploying and managing stop-loss orders, ensuring that capital preservation remains a priority alongside alpha generation.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw CLI tool. Run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jamierossouw/hyperliquid-perps Ensure you have configured your API keys for Hyperliquid within your local environment variables before attempting to initiate live trading modes.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for quantitative traders looking to automate their perp strategies without manual oversight. It is particularly effective for:

1. Automated Position Sizing: Automatically adjusting leverage based on calculated signal confidence levels.
2. Trend Confirmation: Utilizing OBV divergence to filter out 'noise' and only enter trades when volume flow supports the price movement.
3. Risk Mitigation: Standardizing stop-loss placement to ensure no single trade exceeds predefined drawdown limits.
4. Strategy Testing: Using the paper trading functionality to backtest signal strength parameters before deploying actual capital.

Example Prompts

1. "Initialize hyperliquid-perps and check current market conditions for ETH/USDC with a conservative leverage setting."
2. "Scan for OBV divergence on the 15-minute timeframe for top assets and propose a 3x leveraged long if signal strength is high."
3. "Open a paper trading position for BTC/USDC using smart leverage and set an auto-stop-loss at 2% below current market price."

Tips & Limitations

Always start with the paper trading mode to familiarize yourself with how the smart leverage logic reacts to volatility. The skill relies heavily on the quality of the price and volume data feed; ensure your internet connection is stable if running in a live production environment. Note that automated stop-losses cannot prevent slippage during extreme market 'flash crash' events, so always maintain adequate margin ratios in your Hyperliquid account. Regularly audit your trade history to ensure the OBV indicators are aligning with your specific asset's liquidity profile.
