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. Your Position Size Max % still caps how large one position can grow, and Max Open Positions still caps how many tokens you hold. Backtests model scale-ins, reduces, flips, TP ladders, and stop adjustments identically to live — so a strategy that builds, trims, and manages exits behaves the same in simulation as in production.

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: The Next run countdown shows exactly when the agent will next wake up.
