OKX is a familiar venue. We chose a different rail.
350+ pairs, multi-chain, DEX-integrated, and a custody model where the exchange holds the keys. AI Traders brings the same toolkit — DCA, grid, copy trading — to Hyperliquid, where the protocol holds them instead.
Integration with OKX is planned. Currently AI Traders runs on Hyperliquid in demo/paper mode.
What AI Traders brings to the bot conversation
DCA bot
Average into a pair across configurable safety orders. Same playbook serious traders run on OKX — only the funds stay in your wallet.
Grid bot
Profit from chop. Place buy/sell ladders on any HL perp; live P&L, kill-switch in one click.
Pro terminal
Trailing stops, conditional orders, basket trading. Spot or perpetual, same hotkeys.
Combo bot
Stack DCA + grid + indicator triggers in one config. One bot, one stop button.
Backtest + paper
180 days of real HL data, funding cost included. Then 7 days of paper before live capital.
Trailing stop
Trigger by price, drawdown, or indicator. Pause, edit, restart — no waiting on support.
What is OKX?
OKX is a centralized crypto exchange that runs its own matching engine and custodies user assets. It supports spot trading and perpetual futures across 350+ pairs, with a multi-chain, DEX-integrated positioning.
Founded in 2017, OKX operates under the regulatory regime of each country it serves. KYC requirements: tiered. US residents: restricted (okcoin us is a separate entity).
For automation, traders generate an API key with trade-only or read-only scope and connect it to an external bot. The exchange keeps the funds; the bot signs trade requests on its behalf. OKB pays ~25% off trading fees.

Why automate at all
Deep liquidity
HL builders bring orderbook-equivalent depth on-chain. Slippage stays predictable even on 5-figure tickets.
Protocol-secured keys
On HL you never enable withdrawal permission. The protocol enforces "trade only" at the contract layer — not as a checkbox in our admin panel.
Transparent fees
Builder code routes 0.05% per fill on-chain. No hidden margin, no rebate scheme — every cent shows up in the explorer.
24/7 markets
Perps run continuously. Bots respect funding cycles for you; sleep is allowed.
Verifiable history
Open-source signal engine, walkforward-tested. Every fill ships with a decision log.
Reliable rails
Backend covered at 125/125 tests. Spike studies on real 60-day HL data show first positive results on BTC.
Try the AI Traders approach
If you came looking at OKX for automated trading, give the protocol-secured alternative 7 days of paper time. No credit card, no live capital, no withdrawal rights for us — ever.

What protocol-secured really means
Protocol custody
Hyperliquid's contract holds your USDC. AI Traders holds only a trade-only agent wallet — withdrawal is not in our power.
Builder-code fees
Every fill carries a 0.05% builder fee, visible on-chain. No hidden margins, no internal-only rebate.
Open signal engine
Signal engine source is public; backtests use real 60-day HL data with funding cost included.
