Autopilot

🔴 Advanced — once you turn it on, Autopilot opens and closes real positions on its own. ⚠️ Risk Disclaimer: Autopilot trades perpetual futures, which use leverage. You can lose money, including more than you expected in a fast market. Backtest numbers in the picker are historical and do not predict future results. Start small and watch the first few days.

Autopilot runs an AI trading strategy on a perp sub-wallet you choose. You pick a strategy and a market, turn it on, and the strategy opens and closes positions on its own until you stop it. You stay in control: nothing trades until you confirm, and you can stop it any time.

This page is about strategies that trade for you. If you only want the agent to watch the market and tell you about opportunities, that is a separate "alerts" capability, not Autopilot.

How Autopilot works

A strategy is bound to one sub-wallet. Once enabled, it trades that sub-wallet's balance on its own schedule, without asking you to approve each trade. Two strategy types are available today:

A few rules shape how it behaves:

• One strategy per sub-wallet. Each sub-wallet runs at most one strategy at a time. To switch strategies, stop the current one first.
• Create, enable, and trade are separate steps. Setting up a strategy does not start it. Turning it on does not place a trade right away. The strategy trades on its own logic once it is running.
• Stop does not close your positions. Stopping tells Autopilot to stop opening new positions. Any open positions and resting orders stay open until you close them yourself.

Autopilot trades whatever USDC is sitting idle in the bound sub-wallet. To add or move funds, use Transfer.

Start an Autopilot strategy

1. Open the Autopilot page and pick the sub-wallet you want to trade.
2. Click Start Autopilot. The strategy picker opens. The Introduction tab shows what the strategy does and its historical backtest (estimated APR, max drawdown, win rate, and more). Treat these as illustrative, not a promise.
3. Switch to the Configuration tab. Choose the market to trade (for example BTC) and, if you want, a drawdown limit that pauses the strategy if equity falls by that percentage. Click Run.
4. Review the confirmation dialog. It lists the wallet, strategy, market, and drawdown limit. Confirm. The strategy is now created but still off — no trading yet.
5. Finish in chat. The app sends an enable command to the chat. Read the warning, then confirm there. This is the step that actually turns autonomous trading on.
6. Watch it run from the Autopilot page.

🟡 You confirm three separate times before any autonomous trade happens: Run, then the confirmation dialog, then the enable step in chat. This is on purpose. If you set a hard preference (for example "never trade meme coins"), Autopilot blocks strategies that would break it.

Monitor a running strategy

Select the sub-wallet on the Autopilot page to see its detail panel:

• Equity — total value of the sub-wallet, including open positions.
• Available — idle USDC that is free for new positions or transfers.
• Position value — the size of currently open positions.
• 24H / 7D / 30D PnL — realized profit or loss over each window, shown in green or red.
• Performance curve — how the wallet's value has moved since the strategy started.
• Recent decisions — what the strategy has done lately.
• Status — Running, Idle, and similar states.

Stop a strategy

Click Stop and confirm the two-step dialog.

⚠️ Stop tells Autopilot to stop opening new positions. It does not close existing positions or cancel open orders. To exit a position, go to the Perps tab and close it yourself.

Move funds between sub-wallets

Use Transfer to move USDC between sub-wallets, for example to fund a wallet before starting a strategy.

• USDC only.
• You can move idle USDC only. Funds tied up in open positions can't move until you close those positions.
• Cross-exchange transfers can take up to 15 minutes, and Hyperliquid deducts a $1 network fee.

The Available number is the amount you can transfer right now. The Max button fills in that amount.

Safety guardrails

• Three confirmations. Run, the confirmation dialog, and the enable step in chat each need your explicit approval.
• Enable is the highest-risk action. It can only happen with your direct confirmation in chat. The agent can never enable a strategy on its own.
• Your preferences are enforced. Hard limits you've set block strategies that would violate them.

See Confirming fund-moving actions for how these confirmations work across the product.
