FAQ & Important Warnings

These are the most common user questions and mistakes we’ve seen in the community. Read carefully — some of these could save you from avoidable losses.

• Q: “Can I use 40× leverage and let the bot run? It seems to win a lot, so why not maximize?” A: Using maximum leverage is extremely dangerous. Yes, Hyperfuku has a solid win rate in good conditions, but no strategy wins 100% of the time. If you go 40× on every trade, it takes just one sudden 2-3% move against you to liquidate your entire position (or account if not properly margined). Even if the bot is right 9 times out of 10, that one time could wipe out the 9 gains. Don’t risk blowing up by being greedy.

• Q: “Sometimes the bot seems confused or stuck — commands aren’t responding, trades aren’t executing, or updates are delayed. What should I do?” A: This can happen occasionally due to temporary network issues, API hiccups, or internal state conflicts. The first thing to try is the /clean command. This resets the bot’s internal session, clears any stuck signals, and refreshes its memory of active commands, giving it a “fresh start.” Example: /clean

• Q: “What if I just turn it on and walk away for a month? Can I set and forget?” A: Not recommended. While Hyperfuku automates entries, it’s not a fire-and-forget investment. You should check in on the bot at least daily (if not more in active markets). Why? Because market regimes change – a strategy that worked great last week might need tweaking or pausing this week. Also, technical issues can happen (though rare): the bot could pause due to an error, or a trade might require manual intervention if an exchange issue arises. Treat it like a semi-autonomous vehicle – mostly drives itself, but you need to keep your hands near the wheel. Use the convenience (you don’t need to stare at charts 24/7), but stay in touch with your trading.

• Q: “The bot is down X% this week, did it stop working? Should I turn it off?” A: A drawdown doesn’t necessarily mean the bot “broke” or suddenly lost its edge. All trading systems have ups and downs. It’s important to distinguish between normal performance fluctuation and something fundamentally wrong. If the entire market was choppy or mean-reverting, it’s expected that a trend-following bot like Hyperfuku might give back some profits or chop around. The key is to look at context: Is this drawdown within historical norms (maybe the bot had a -5% week in the past during similar conditions)? If yes, it’s likely just a rough patch – possibly consider switching to Conservative or pausing until conditions improve, rather than abandoning. However, if something seems off, then let us know. Often the devs might already be aware and working on tweaks.

• Warning: Don’t Override the Bot with Impulsive Manual Trades – While earlier we advised being ready to override the bot if you have good reason, a common mistake is users interfering too much out of impatience or fear. For example, the bot is in a trade that’s slightly negative, and the user manually closes it early out of fear, only to see it would have hit their take-profit. Or the user feels “bored” and manually enters trades on the side, which conflict with the bot’s positions. These actions can sabotage the performance. Discipline is key – let the bot work, don’t overtrade on top of it.

• Q: “Why did the bot enter a trade opposite to what I thought? Is it broken?” A: Hyperfuku might sometimes take a trade that surprises you (maybe you were bullish but it shorted, or vice versa). Remember, it’s following its technical algorithm. It could be seeing something you don’t – for instance, a hidden divergence or a multi-timeframe signal. In many cases, such “against sentiment” trades end up being some of the best, because the AI isn’t swayed by emotion or crowd bias. That said, if the trade truly makes no sense to you, it’s okay to watch closely or manage tighter.

• Warning: Ignoring Fees and Funding – On a leverage exchange like Hyperliquid, you pay trading fees for each entry/exit and possibly funding rates for holding positions. Hyperfuku trades frequently, so fees can add up. The returns the bot makes are gross PnL – you should factor commissions in. If you use very small position sizes, fees might eat a larger percentage of gains. Make sure your trade size is efficient (not too tiny relative to minimum fee). Also, if the bot holds a position for many hours, it might incur funding (positive or negative depending on long/short and market). Usually, it’s minor, but in very skewed markets funding can be high. Just be aware: the bot isn’t explicitly accounting for fees/funding in signals; it assumes you are trading efficiently.

• Q: “What if Hyperfuku issues multiple signals very fast – can my account handle it?” A: In fast markets, you might see the bot flip quickly (e.g., long then immediately stop and short). The system is designed to manage positions sequentially (it will close the previous before opening reverse). Your account can handle it as long as you have enough margin and are not over-leveraged. However, be mentally prepared: rapid flips can be stressful and can generate a string of small losses if the market is whipsawing. If you see this happening (multiple flips in minutes), it might be best to step in and pause – such conditions are not ideal for trading anyway.

• Q: “Are you advising me to take these trades at these times?” A: No. Taking the AI's signals as our team's financial advice for your trading is a mistake. We are sharing the results of an algorithm — what you do or do not do with them is up to you. We make absolutely zero guarantees about signal performance, and are not promising you that you will make money by trading them.

Summary: Use Hyperfuku with discipline, context awareness, and strong risk management.

The bot’s edge + your good judgment = best long-term results.
