Hyperliquid BTC Bot
A rules-based BTC perpetual-futures swing system with hard circuit breakers, running on a $1,000 proof-of-concept stake.
- Problem
- Discretionary crypto trading doesn't scale and leaves no audit trail; going systematic needs a strategy that's honest about what it can't predict, plus execution discipline no human sustains alone.
- Method
- Built on Freqtrade with a Smart Money Concepts strategy layer and a Coinglass sidecar for order-flow data (funding, open interest, liquidation levels). Three independent circuit breakers sit in the execution loop; positions pyramid in on confirmation with a ratcheting stop, and take-profit scales out via a 5-factor structural-reversal score.
- Result
- 5 execution-layer bugs were caught only by live dry-run testing (not code review), including 2 that silently broke risk-budget math — all fixed. A pre-registered study of 15 crash-precursor indicators honestly reported 0 as reliably predictive rather than tuning the method for a nicer result.
