How your agent manages positions
Your agent doesn’t just open and close trades — it actively manages a position over its life. You don’t configure any of this; it’s part of how the agent reasons each run, governed by your strategy and risk limits.
| Action | What it does |
|---|
| Scale in (add) | If conviction grows, the agent adds to an existing position. On Hyperliquid you hold one position per token, so adding blends your average entry and grows size — never beyond your Position Size Max %. |
| Reduce (partial profit / de-risk) | Closes part of a position (e.g. 50%) at market to lock gains or trim exposure while staying in the trade. |
| Take-profit ladders | Instead of one target, the agent rests multiple TP rungs on the exchange (e.g. 40% at the first, 35% higher, let the rest run). Each fills on its own. In the Positions table, a laddered TP shows a dropdown arrow — click it to see every rung’s price and %. |
| Manage exits | As a trade moves your way, the agent raises the stop toward break-even and re-sets the TP ladder — without changing position size. |
| Flip | If the thesis reverses, an opposite-direction trade nets against the position and can flip you to the other side. |
| Close | Fully exits (100%). |
Pause & Resume
Tap Pause on the home screen dashboard to temporarily halt your agent. The agent will not make any new decisions while paused, but all open positions remain active on Hyperliquid.
Tap Resume when you are ready to restart. The agent will pick up on its next scheduled interval.
Pausing is the right move before a major market event or scheduled news release where you want manual control. Your settings and strategy are preserved exactly as-is.
Modify Agent
Go to Modify Agent from the dashboard (or tap ⋯ → Modify) to update:
- Strategy Prompt & Important Notes — refine your trading thesis
- Model — switch AI model at any time
- Token Whitelist — add or remove tradeable assets
- Run Schedule — change how often the agent wakes up
- Risk Parameters — adjust position sizes, drawdown limits, daily loss limits
- Data Sources — toggle data sources on and off
All changes take effect on the next scheduled run — the current cycle is not interrupted.
You can also ask your agent to propose changes via chat. If you ask it to review your strategy or risk settings, it may respond with a formal proposal card you can Apply or Dismiss. See Setting Change Proposals. Stop Agent
To fully shut down your agent and release the Hyperliquid API key:
Go to Modify Agent → Deactivate Agent.
This stops all scheduled runs. Your backtest history and account data are preserved. You can launch a new agent at any time.
Stopping the agent does not close your open Hyperliquid positions. Those must be closed manually on Hyperliquid or via a Manual Trade in the app.
Manual Trade
While your agent is running, you can place one-off manual orders from the app:
Tap ⋯ → Manual Trade from the dashboard.
Manual trades execute immediately and are logged separately from the agent’s automated decisions.
Checking Agent Status
The dashboard hero card shows your agent’s current state:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|
| LIVE (green dot) | Agent is active and running on schedule |
| PAUSED | Agent is paused — no new decisions until resumed |
| DISCONNECTED | Agent cannot reach the backend — check your connection |
