Hedge Combo on Hyperliquid

Hedge DCA's drawdown absorber combined with mini-grid's chop harvesting. Three legs (primary, hedge, grid) coordinated under one risk-gate.

What is Hedge Combo?

Hedge DCA's drawdown absorber combined with mini-grid's chop harvesting. Three legs (primary, hedge, grid) coordinated under one risk-gate.

Hedge Combo sits in AI Traders' non-custodial layer on Hyperliquid. Both legs (and the grid layer for Hedge Combo) trade through one HL agent wallet — the protocol enforces "trade only" at the contract level. No leg can be accidentally enabled to withdraw.

Capabilities

Three-leg coordination

Primary DCA + paired hedge short + mini-grid inside the averaged range. All three share one position and one risk view.

Best of both worlds

Hedge absorbs trend drawdown; grid harvests range chop. Combined: tighter equity curve than either alone.

Funding + grid gates

Both gates active: hedge pauses on bad funding, grid pauses when DCA is fully averaged or volatility too low.

Priority order

DCA safety orders > hedge adjustments > grid fills. Never compete for the same capital slice.

Backtest +0.5–1.0%/mo edge

On BTC/USDT vs vanilla DCA, hedge-combo showed +50–100 bps/mo with lower max drawdown.

Single risk-gate

All three legs share kill-switch, leverage cap, and decision log. One stop button, three layers off.

How to start

01

Configure DCA + hedge

Set DCA params and hedge ratio as in Hedge DCA. This is the trend-defending core.

02

Enable mini-grid

Toggle on grid layer; pick level count (3–5) and density per averaged range.

03

Backtest all three

Required — all three legs tested as one combined strategy on real HL data.

04

Paper-trial 7 days

Standard gate. Live promotion only after all three legs behave as expected.

FAQ

How does Hedge Combo differ from Combo?+
Combo = DCA + mini-grid. Hedge Combo = DCA + paired short + mini-grid. The extra leg trades trend-drawdown defense for slightly lower upside on clean trends.
Three legs feels complex — is this for beginners?+
No. Hedge Combo is for traders who have run vanilla DCA or Combo and want tighter equity curves at the cost of complexity. Start with vanilla DCA → Combo → Hedge Combo as you learn each layer.
What if all three legs misalign at once?+
Single kill-switch stops all three. Risk-gate prevents the misalignment in the first place — DCA priority, leverage cap, position-cap all apply globally.
Same backtest gate as vanilla DCA?+
Same gate, stricter test — 180-day HL data must show acceptable Sharpe AND drawdown profile on the combined strategy. Single failed leg = whole strategy fails to promote.
