When
references/api.md
You need the exact request/response shape for any endpoint: account, backtesting, deployment, portfolio deposit, getting funds back out (POST /v3/portfolio/hyperliquid/withdraw), or closing everything at once (portfolio exit).
references/strategy-config.md
You are writing or fixing config JSON or strategy Python — config fields, code template, TA-Lib usage, multi-entry (DCA/grid), funding-rate access, minimal_roi shapes.
references/wallets-and-accounts.md
Anything about wallets, balances, deposits, sub-accounts, multi-strategy capacity, pair formats, or HIP-3 tickers.
references/troubleshooting.md
A deployment or backtest is failing, trading zero times, hitting rate limits, or showing orphan positions.
Gotchas
Environment-specific facts that defy reasonable assumptions. Read these before acting.
HIP-3 pairs use a HYPHEN, not a colon.XYZ-AAPL/USDC:USDC is correct; XYZ:AAPL/USDC:USDC is the single most common format mistake. HIP-3 pairs are also absent from the default {"type":"meta"} call — you must pass the dex, e.g. {"type":"meta","dex":"xyz"}.
The agent wallet holding $0 is normal. It signs against the main wallet's balance and never needs funds. Always check the main trading wallet's balance; checking the agent wallet's will always look like an empty account.
A balance that covers stake_amount × max_open_trades exactly will still fail. The exchange reserves roughly 1% for fees, so cap stake_amount at ~95% of or entries get rejected silently.
balance / max_open_trades
The account URL is https://account.superior.trade. Never send users to app.superior.trade, including when an API error message itself contains that older URL.
Multi-output TA-Lib functions return tuples.talib.BBANDS(...) and friends crash at runtime if unpacked as a single value — see references/strategy-config.md.
Sub-account funds are not available to the master. A master's true capacity is its own balance plus sub-account balances queried separately via subAccounts2; funds sitting in a sub-account cannot back a master deployment.
Accounts run in unified OR legacy mode — never assume. If perps shows $0 but spot shows funds, ask about unified mode before telling the user to move anything themselves.
One live strategy per trading account. To run several at once, omit wallet_address when storing credentials and the server assigns the next idle trading account.
Safety
Security & Permissions
This skill requires exactly one credential: an x-api-key header value. The only secret the agent uses is SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY from the environment.
Security rules (non-negotiable):
NEVER ask users for private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials
NEVER include private keys in API requests (the API rejects them)
NEVER log, store, or display private keys or seed phrases
NEVER tell users to deposit funds to the agent wallet address
NEVER fabricate wallet balances, API responses, or trade results
NEVER start a live deployment without explicit user confirmation
Prefer user-friendly language over internal technical names when speaking conversationally. Say "strategy", "the bot", or "the trading engine" instead of referencing internal class names or infrastructure details. This is a UX preference — if the user asks about the underlying technology, answer honestly (the platform uses Freqtrade for strategy execution on Hyperliquid).
NEVER send users to app.superior.trade — the correct URL is https://account.superior.trade
Key scope notice: The API key can create and start live trading deployments that execute real trades using the user's platform-managed trading wallet. It can also initiate native Arbitrum USDC deposits into Hyperliquid and return Hyperliquid USDC to the user's Superior wallet. It cannot export private keys, bypass the Superior wallet for withdrawals, or move unsupported assets/chains. Users should confirm scope with Superior Trade and backtest their strategy first.
Can do
Cannot do
Create, list, delete backtests
Access other users' data
Create, start, stop, delete deployments (including live trading with real funds)
Export or view private keys
Trigger server-side credential resolution (no user secrets collected)
Ask users for wallet secrets
View deployment logs, status, wallet metadata
Move unsupported assets or use unsupported chains
Deposit native Arbitrum USDC from the user's platform wallet into Hyperliquid via the API
Bridge from external wallets
Return Hyperliquid USDC to the server-resolved Superior wallet via the API
Withdraw to an arbitrary external address
Live Deployment Confirmation
Before any live deployment, the agent MUST present this summary and wait for explicit confirmation:
Deployment Summary:
• Strategy: [name]
• Exchange: hyperliquid
• Trading mode: [spot/futures]
• Pairs: [list]
• Stake amount: [amount] USDC per trade
• Max open trades: [n]
• Stoploss: [percentage]
• Margin mode: [cross/isolated] (futures only)
⚠️ This will trade with REAL funds. Proceed? (yes/no)
Do NOT start a live deployment without an explicit affirmative response.
Setup
Getting an API Key
IMPORTANT: The correct URL is https://account.superior.trade — NOT app.superior.trade. Never send users to app.superior.trade.
Use SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY from the environment or credential manager.
Create or select a trading account wallet from GET /v3/account
Fund the platform trading wallet with native USDC on Arbitrum One using the user's own capital
Create an API key (st_live_...) from your account settings
Add it as SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY in your agent's environment/credential settings
Bootstrap Hyperliquid setup with POST /v3/account/{address}/hyperliquid for the selected trading wallet
If the wallet's USDC is still on Arbitrum, use POST /v2/portfolio/hyperliquid/deposit to deposit it into Hyperliquid before live trading
If the SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY env var is already set, use it directly in the x-api-key header without prompting the user.

Agent Operating Rules
Verification-first: Every factual claim about balance, wallet status, or deployment health MUST be backed by an API call in the current turn. NEVER assume → report → verify later.
Anti-hallucination: If you can't call the API, say "I haven't checked yet." Every number must come from a real response.
Conversational: Make API calls directly and present results conversationally. Show raw payloads only on request.
Backtesting: Build config + code from user intent → create → start → poll → present results — all automatically.
Deployment: Create → store credentials → run checklist → show summary → get confirmation → start.
Proactive: Ask for missing info conversationally, one concern at a time. Always ask user to run a backtest before first live deployment.
If the agent fails the same task 3+ times (e.g. strategy code keeps crashing, backtest keeps failing), stop and:
Summarize what was tried and what failed
Pivot in two stages before giving up:
First — param space. If you have not yet run a parameter sweep on this strategy/pair, run one (see Backtest Workflow → Parameter Sweeps). Most "this idea doesn't work" verdicts are really "this single config didn't work" — sweeping the key parameter often surfaces a viable variant in one batch.
Second — pair space. Only after a full sweep also fails, suggest a different pair, timeframe, or strategy family (e.g. mean-reversion instead of momentum).
If the issue appears to be model capability (complex multi-indicator strategy), suggest switching to a more capable model for strategy generation
Workflows
Backtest Workflow
Build config + strategy code from user requirements
POST /v2/backtesting — create with config, code, and timerange ({ "start": "YYYY-MM-DD", "end": "YYYY-MM-DD" }). If the dates are invalid or omitted, the server picks a suitable duration based on the timeframe.
PUT /v2/backtesting/{id}/status with {"action": "start"}
Poll GET /v2/backtesting/{id}/status every 10s until completed or failed (1–10 min)
GET /v2/backtesting/{id}/logs — the metrics live here. results and resultUrl on the record are null even for a completed run (checked across a month of completed backtests), so parse the Freqtrade summary tables out of the logs
Present summary: total trades, win rate, profit, drawdown, Sharpe ratio
If failed, check GET /v2/backtesting/{id}/logs
To cancel: DELETE /v2/backtesting/{id}
Backtest Wallet and Stake Sizing
Backtests are simulations. Do not size a backtest from the user's live wallet by default; use simulated capital to evaluate the strategy. Only mirror the user's current wallet if they explicitly ask for a live-wallet simulation.
dry_run_wallet is the total simulated wallet inventory by asset. It is an object/map, not a scalar. Examples: { "USDC": 1000 }, { "USDC": 100, "BTC": 0.1 }.
stake_amount is the amount the backtest/bot may allocate per trade slot. A numeric value is fixed stake per entry slot; "unlimited" divides the simulated wallet across max_open_trades slots.
If using fixed stake, set dry_run_wallet to the total simulated balances so PnL is measured against the correct capital base. Example: a $50 USDC simulation with $45 usable per trade uses stake_amount: 45 and dry_run_wallet: { "USDC": 50 }.
For standard perps, keep fixed stake_amount at or below ~90% of USDC / max_open_trades; for HIP-3 assets, use ~70% because fees and isolated-margin buffers are higher.
Never combine stake_amount: "unlimited" with max_open_trades: -1. When stake is unlimited, max_open_trades must be a finite positive integer so the wallet can be divided across slots.
For DCA/grid/scaling strategies that use position_adjustment_enable and adjust_trade_position, stake_amount may be fixed or "unlimited". If using "unlimited", you must control the initial entry size in custom_stake_amount; otherwise the first entry can consume all available capital. In either mode, dry_run_wallet must cover the maximum laddered exposure, not just the first entry.
Parameter Sweeps (recommended for first-pass backtests)
For the first backtest of any new idea on a given pair, do not submit a single config. Submit a 3-variant sweep that varies ONE parameter, run all 3 in parallel, then compare horizontally.
Why: building a config is the expensive cognitive step; running a backtest is cheap. A single result tells you whether one point worked; three neighboring points tell you whether the region works and which direction to iterate.
How to fan out:
Issue all 3 POST /v2/backtesting calls in parallel (different config for each variant; same code unless the variant is a code-level change).
Issue all 3 PUT /v2/backtesting/{id}/status start calls in parallel.
Poll all 3 GET /v2/backtesting/{id}/status endpoints in parallel each cycle.
Fetch all 3 GET /v2/backtesting/{id} results in parallel once status is completed.
Each backtest runs in isolation, so parallel execution does not slow any single run.
What to vary (pick ONE axis per sweep):
Strategy family
Parameter to vary
Three variants
Momentum / EMA cross
EMA periods
5/10/20, 8/13/21, 12/26/50

1.5, 2.0, 2.5
Breakout
Lookback window
20, 50, 100 candles
When NOT to sweep:
The user pinned specific parameter values ("backtest with EMA 8/21 only").
Walk-forward validation on a second pair after a confirmed setup — that should be a single config (sweeping there is parameter overfitting).
The user is iterating on a known winner ("now try the same config on ETH").
Result Interpretation
After status = completed, read GET /v2/backtesting/{id}/logs. Freqtrade prints its full summary there — trade counts, win rate, profit, drawdown and duration tables. Do not wait on resultUrl: it is null on completed runs, so an agent that blocks on it will report a successful backtest as broken. Present these key metrics:
Total trades — completed round-trips
Win rate — percentage of profitable trades
Total profit % — net profit as percentage of starting balance
Max drawdown — worst peak-to-trough decline
Sharpe ratio — risk-adjusted return (>1.0 good, >2.0 excellent)
Average trade duration — how long positions are held
Before suggesting deployment, always run a backtest first. If the backtest produced zero trades over a timerange that should have generated signals (e.g. weeks on a 5m timeframe), do not offer deployment — the strategy or pair likely has an issue. If PnL is negative, note the timerange may be unsuitable but don't dismiss the strategy outright. If PnL is positive, present results without overpromising — strong backtest fit can indicate overfitting. Stay neutral and let the user decide.
Sweep Result Comparison
For 3-variant sweeps, present results as a single table (Variant | Config | PnL% | Trades | Sharpe | Max DD), then read the shape:
All 3 profitable → pick the best Sharpe (not best PnL — small-sample PnL rewards luck). The parameter region is robust; proceed to walk-forward or deployment.
1–2 profitable → pick the winner, but flag that the parameter is sensitive. Suggest either (a) walk-forward on a second pair as an independent check, or (b) one tighter sweep around the winner.
All 3 unprofitable / < 10 trades → the idea doesn't work on this pair. Move to pair-space (different pair, timeframe, or strategy family). Do not sweep again on the same pair.
Monotonic edge (e.g. PnL strictly improves 2.0 → 3.0 → 4.0) → the best variant sits at the edge of the grid. Run ONE more variant past it (e.g. 5.0) — don't run another full 3-grid; just extend by one.
Zero-trade rule for sweeps: zeros in 1–2 variants of a sweep are informative (the parameter was too tight), not a failure. Only treat the sweep as failed when ALL 3 variants return zero trades.
Deployment Workflow
POST /v2/deployment with config, code, name
Ask the user: live or dry-run?
Live:POST /v2/deployment/{id}/credentials with { "exchange": "hyperliquid", "wallet_address": "0x...", "subaccount_address": "0x..." } — wallet_address and subaccount_address are optional; server assigns wallet automatically if omitted
Dry-run: Skip the credentials step — the deployment runs in simulation mode (no real funds)
Run the pre-deployment checklist
Show the deployment confirmation summary and wait for explicit user confirmation
PUT /v2/deployment/{id}/status → {"action": "start"}
Monitor: GET /v2/deployment/{id}/status, GET /v2/deployment/{id}/logs
Stop: PUT /v2/deployment/{id}/status → {"action": "stop"}
Pre-Deployment Checklist (MANDATORY)
Before PUT /v2/deployment/{id}/status → {"action":"start"}:
For live deployments (credentials stored):
Account ready — list/select the trading wallet with GET /v3/account, then call POST /v3/account/{address}/hyperliquid for that wallet before live deployment. This is a write-capable bootstrap endpoint: it may set the Hyperliquid referrer, approve Superior's builder fee, create and approve the agent wallet, and persist agent wallet metadata. After it returns, verify readiness with GET /v3/account/{address}/status/hyperliquid; proceed only when onboarding.ready is true and onboarding.blockers is empty. If bootstrap returns wallet_not_exportable, hyperliquid_bootstrap_failed, or readiness still has blockers, stop and report the exact blocker instead of starting live trading.
Credentials stored — GET /v2/deployment/{id} → credentials_status: "stored". If not, call POST /v2/deployment/{id}/credentials.
Identify wallets — GET /v2/deployment/{id}/credentials → note wallet_address (agent wallet) and agent_wallet_address.
Funds available — Check the main wallet (platform-managed trading wallet), NOT the agent wallet. Agent wallet having $0 is normal. Query clearinghouseState + spotClearinghouseState for single deployments. If the master account has sub-accounts, also query subAccounts2 and sum total balance across master + all sub-accounts — funds allocated to sub-accounts are not available to the master. Then verify stake_amount × max_open_trades fits within the available balance. The exchange reserves a small fee buffer (~1%), so set stake_amount to no more than ~95% of balance / max_open_trades to avoid silent trade rejections. If Hyperliquid funds are insufficient but the user has native Arbitrum USDC in the platform wallet, ask for explicit confirmation and call POST /v2/portfolio/hyperliquid/deposit, then re-check balances before starting. If both Hyperliquid and platform-wallet funds are insufficient, tell the user they must add more of their own capital to the platform account before live trading can proceed.
No existing positions/orders — Check clearinghouseState for open positions on the main wallet. If positions or orders exist, show the user details (pair, side, size, PnL) and ask them to close before deploying — leftover positions can block new entries or cause unexpected margin usage.
For dry-run deployments (no credentials): Skip steps 1–5, the deployment runs in simulation mode without real funds.
Pair is tradeable — POST https://api.hyperliquid.xyz/info → {"type":"meta"} for standard perps, or {"type":"meta", "dex":"xyz"} (or the relevant dex name) for HIP3 pairs. Verify the coin name exists in the universe array.
Do NOT skip any step or assume it passed without the API call.
Getting Funds Back Out
Two different operations — do not confuse them:
Unwind a sub-account — POST /v2/portfolio/hyperliquid/exit closes ALL positions on the given subaccount_address and returns its funds to the master. Sub-account scoped; it does not take money off Hyperliquid.
Take USDC off Hyperliquid — POST /v3/portfolio/hyperliquid/withdraw moves USDC to the server-resolved main Superior wallet on Arbitrum. The destination is resolved server-side, so you cannot send to an arbitrary or external address.
Both move real money. State the amount and destination and get an explicit yes first. Stop any strategy trading that account before withdrawing, or the withdrawal can underfund a live position. Hyperliquid also deducts a 1 USDC fee from the withdrawal amount — never withdraw 1 USDC or less. Full shapes and the confirmation template are in references/api.md.
