AI Trader Setup

AI Trader is the core component of Hyper Alpha Arena, responsible for executing trading decisions based on strategy prompts. This section will guide you through creating and configuring AI Traders.

Creating AI Trader

Method 1: Using Paid API (Recommended for Live Trading)

Using Deepseek as an example:

Step 1: Access AI Trader Interface

Click AI Trader in the navigation bar, then select Add AI Trader.

Step 2: Configure API Information

1. Trader Name: Enter a descriptive name, e.g., Deepseek-reasoner

2. BASE URL: Visit Deepseek API Documentation, copy the base_url and fill it in

   

3. API Key: Apply for and save an API Key from the Deepseek platform

   

4. Model: Select the model name

   • deepseek-chat: Non-reasoning model
   • deepseek-reasoner: Reasoning model (recommended)

   

Step 3: Test and Save

After filling in the information, click Test and Save to confirm the connection is successful.

Note

Deepseek API requires recharge to use. If you're just testing, you can use Method 2's free quota.

Method 2: Using Free Quota (Suitable for Testing)

Visit Alibaba Cloud Bailian Model Market and select a model.

Step 2: Get Model Information

Click to enter the model details page, enable free quota, and copy the model Code to fill in the Model field.

Refer to Qwen API Documentation

Step 4: Get API Key

Visit API Key Management Page, apply for and copy the API Key.

After filling in, click Test and Save.

Note

AI Traders created with Method 2 have limited quota and only support testing, not recommended for live trading.

Setting Trigger Parameters

After creating an AI Trader, you need to configure trigger parameters to control strategy execution.

Trigger Mode

• Signal Pool: Triggered based on user-created signal pools when conditions are met
• Trigger Interval: Set the time interval (seconds) for strategy triggers

Strategy Status

• Strategy Status: After checking Enabled, the AI Trader will respond to signals and scheduled triggers

Save Configuration

After setup, click Save Trader Config to save the current AI trader's strategy configuration.

Global Configuration

Sampling Interval

Sampling Interval: Controls how often market price data is collected.

After modification, click Save Global Settings to save the global configuration.

Symbol Configuration

The system supports custom configuration of trading symbols on supported exchanges (Hyperliquid and Binance Futures) to monitor real-time market status and model decision performance for different assets.

Connecting Exchange Account

To execute trades, you must connect an exchange account. The platform supports two exchanges:

Option A: Hyperliquid Wallet

Configuration Steps:

1. Select a created AI Trader
2. Enter the Hyperliquid wallet's Private Key
3. Configure Maximum Leverage and Default Leverage
4. Click Save Wallet to connect
5. Success notification will appear in the top right corner

Exporting Private Key (Email Login Users)

If you log in to Hyperliquid using email, you need to export the wallet private key first:

Step 1: Click settings in the top right corner of Hyperliquid and find the export wallet option.

Step 2: Click Copy key to copy the Private Key.

Step 3: After pasting the private key, add the 0x prefix (digit 0 and lowercase letter x) at the beginning.

Security Warning

The private key is your wallet credential. Never share it with others. It's recommended to test on testnet first and only use mainnet wallet after confirming everything works correctly.

Option B: Binance Futures API

Step 1: Register and Create API Key

1. Register at Binance and complete KYC verification
2. Go to API Management to create an API key

Select "System Generated" and give it a name. Complete security verification to create.

Step 2: Save API Key and Secret

Important

The Secret Key is only shown once at creation. Save both the API Key and Secret Key immediately.

Step 3: Configure IP Whitelist

Add your server's IP address to the whitelist.

Step 4: Enable Permissions

Edit API permissions and enable the required permissions as shown:

Can't enable Futures permission?

If the Futures permission checkbox is unavailable, you need to open a USDT-M Futures account first. See Step 5.

Step 5: Open USDT-M Futures (if not already)

Visit Binance Futures and find the option to open a USDT-M Futures account in the bottom right area.

Step 6: Set One-Way Position Mode

After opening Futures, change the position mode to One-Way. Click the settings icon in the top right corner.
