Usage and Risk Management Principles
Hyperfuku can be a powerful ally in your trading, but to use it effectively (and safely), you should follow certain best practices. Think of the bot as a skilled partner that gives you entries, but you remain the risk manager and final decision-maker. Here are some guidelines and tips for getting the most out of Hyperfuku while avoiding common pitfalls:
Treat it as an Entry/Signal Bot – You Manage the Exits: Hyperfuku’s strength is identifying when to get into a trade. Once you’re in a trade, however, it’s often up to you to decide how to get out optimally. Monitor your open positions. If a trade is well in profit, consider taking profit sooner or scaling out rather than waiting for the bot’s signal flip if you see signs of reversal. The key is: use the bot’s signal as a starting point, but apply your own judgment for exit strategy. The bot will not magically maximize every gain for you – that much is up to you.
Always Set a Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: Eventually, our AI will recommend TP and SL for you. However, for now, we strongly advise setting your own TP/SL on Hyperliquid's interface (which you can access because you exported your HL keys to MM). Never trade without a stop-loss just because an AI is involved. Similarly, you can adjust take-profit if you have a target in mind. Hyperfuku’s role is giving you a statistically favorable entry; from that point, protect yourself from large losses and secure profits along the way.
Use Reasonable Leverage: A good rule of thumb is to start low – e.g., 5× or 10× leverage – until you fully understand how the bot behaves. High leverage can wipe your account quickly if a trade goes wrong. Remember, with 40×, a 2.5% adverse move means ~100% loss of margin. Hyperfuku’s signals are not guaranteed to avoid that kind of move. Many users find that staying in the single-digit leverage range gives the bot room to work and survive normal market noise. You can always increase leverage later if you see consistent performance (and even then, cautiously). It’s also worth diversifying leverage by strategy: maybe Conservative can handle a bit higher leverage since signals are more reliable, whereas Degen should be lower.
Don’t Deploy All Your Capital at Once: Even though the bot can manage your whole account, it’s smart to start with a fraction of your capital. This way, if early performance has a drawdown, you haven’t lost everything and can adjust. The goal is to manage risk through position sizing.
Monitor Macro Conditions: Hyperfuku looks only at the charts and technicals; it does not know if, say, the Federal Reserve is about to hike interest rates, or if a major exchange got hacked – events which can whipsaw markets unpredictably. As a user, keep an eye on news and macro events. If you know a high-impact event is coming (Fed meeting, CPI release, major token unlock, etc.), you consider pausing the bot beforehand or reducing risk. The bot might generate false signals in the volatility around news (because technical patterns break during those moments). Avoid using the bot through major news unless you deliberately want to gamble on volatility. You can always resume after things settle. Similarly, on weekends or holiday periods with low liquidity, the bot might get tricked by erratic moves – use discretion, or consider pausing.
Avoid Choppy Markets: As mentioned, Hyperfuku can struggle in sideways, range-bound markets that lack clear direction. If you observe the market stuck in a range and you’ve seen the bot take a couple of small losses in a row, that’s a sign the conditions are choppy. You have a few options: you can pause the bot until the market breaks out of the range, or switch to a more conservative strategy that might stay out. Another tactic is to lower your position size during choppy times. It’s better to preserve capital in ranging markets and let the bot loose when trending action resumes. One user tip is to watch a higher timeframe chart yourself – if you see price ping-ponging between support and resistance, recognize the range and be cautious. Hyperfuku will eventually catch the breakout, but it might pay a “chop toll” first unless you intervene.
Learn from the Bot’s Signals: Especially if you are new to trading, use Hyperfuku as a learning tool. Each signal is essentially the AI’s interpretation of the chart. Try to understand why it might be going long or short. Look at the indicators or patterns around that moment: Is RSI oversold? Did price break a support trendline? Over time, you’ll start recognizing setups. Future versions will offer “Explain-Mode” where the bot tells you why it took a trade (e.g., “RSI divergence and MACD bullish cross detected”). But, for now, treat Hyperfuku not as a black box, but as an experienced trader you can study under.
Be Ready to Override or Cut Losses: There may be times you decide to cut a trade early. Perhaps the bot went long but you see on the news that an exchange is insolvent – you might manually close immediately to avoid a larger crash. It’s okay to override the bot. You can close positions manually on Hyperliquid’s interface at any time. The bot won’t be offended – it doesn’t have emotions. In summary, don’t treat the bot’s decisions as gospel. If your gut or analysis says exit now, exit. Hyperfuku is an aid, not your boss.
Use Take Profit Levels and Stop Losses Wisely: Crypto markets can be very volatile – sometimes a move overshoots any rational target, then reverses sharply. Take Profits are one of the only ways you will consistently build your portfolio. No one has ever gotten rich by riding a long the entire way up. We strongly recommend you set TP levels on Hyperliquid until our interface can help you apply them in-agent. There’s no harm in securing a win early. Inversely, choosing Stop Loss levels is equally, if not more, important. It requires a delicate balance of wanting to let the bot's trade play out, and making sure that you don't stay trapped in a losing play. Over time, you will refine this skillset. Many Hyperfuku users report that combining the bot’s entries with their own exit management yields the best results.
Keep Emotion Out, but Don’t Ignore Intuition: One advantage of Hyperfuku is it eliminates emotional, impulsive entries – it sticks to its system. As a user, try to maintain that discipline on your end too. Avoid the temptation to interfere with every trade or second-guess the bot’s entry (why subscribe if you’re not going to follow it?). However, if you have strong intuition or knowledge, you can certainly veto a trade before it happens. For example, if Hyperfuku is about to go long on a crypto that you know has bad news, you might temporarily pause or manually not execute that one. Just be cautious: if you override too often, you might invalidate the edge the AI provides. It’s a balance between trusting the system and applying human common sense.
Regularly Review Performance: Periodically, take stock of how Hyperfuku is doing for you. Look at your PnL over a week or month. Are most losses coming from a particular asset or time of day? You might then decide to exclude that asset or not run the bot at certain hours (if, say, you notice it loses often in Asia session). The Hyperfuku community often shares results and insights; pay attention to that (more on this in the next section). If something isn’t working, don’t just let it continue indefinitely. The bot can have losing streaks. It’s up to you to decide when to weather them and when to step back. Having a personal risk management plan is key.
Stay Updated with the Team’s Announcements: The Hyperfuku developers may update the bot, tweak strategies, or release new features. Make sure you’re in their Telegram announcements channel or follow their X (Twitter) account. Updates could improve performance or change how commands work. By staying informed, you can take advantage of improvements and also be aware of any downtime or maintenance.
In essence, successful use of Hyperfuku = the bot’s technical prowess + your good risk management. Many users have done very well with Hyperfuku (as we’ll see next), but those who succeed long-term treat it as one component of their trading toolkit.
