How AI Chat Trading Works​

1. Natural Language Processing​

The AI agent understands natural language commands:

Buy 0.1 BTC with 5x leverage

The AI interprets:

  • Action: Buy (open long position)
  • Asset: BTC
  • Size: 0.1 BTC
  • Leverage: 5x
  • DEX: Currently selected DEX

2. Order Confirmation​

Before executing any trade, the AI always asks for confirmation with an order summary showing asset, size, leverage, estimated entry, margin requirements, and liquidation price.

Type yes, confirm, or proceed to execute.

Detailed Order Flow

For complete order confirmation examples and workflows, see Trading Commands - Order Confirmation Flow.

3. Trade Execution​

The AI agent sets leverage (if specified), calculates fees and margin requirements, places the order on the selected DEX, and reports execution results with order ID and position details.

Basic Commands​

Trading Commands​

Open Position:

Long 0.1 BTC with 5x leverage
Short 1 ETH with 3x leverage
Buy 0.5 SOL on Hyperliquid

Close Position:

Close my BTC position
Close all my positions
Exit my ETH long

Set Stop-Loss/Take-Profit:

Set stop-loss for my BTC position at $42,000
Set take-profit for my ETH position at $2,500
Set TP at $45,000 and SL at $41,000 for BTC

Information Commands​

Check Balance:

What's my balance?
Show my balance on Hyperliquid
How much USDC do I have?

View Positions:

Show my positions
What positions do I have open?
Show my Aster positions

Market Data:

What's the BTC price?
Show me ETH order book
Get SOL funding rate

Conversation Features​

Context Awareness​

The AI remembers your conversation context:

You: What's my BTC position?
AI: [Shows BTC position details]

You: Close it
AI: [Understands "it" refers to BTC position]

Multi-Turn Interactions​

The AI handles complex multi-step workflows:

You: I want to open a BTC long
AI: Sure! What size and leverage would you like?

You: 0.1 BTC with 5x leverage
AI: [Shows order summary and asks for confirmation]

You: Yes
AI: [Executes trade]

Error Handling​

The AI provides helpful guidance when issues occur:

You: Buy 10 BTC
AI: Insufficient balance. You have 100 USDC available, but this 
    order requires ~$432,500. Would you like to:
    1. Reduce position size
    2. Use higher leverage
    3. Deposit more funds

Trading Safety Features​

1. Mandatory Confirmation​

Every trade requires explicit confirmation. The AI never executes without your approval.

2. Order Validation​

The AI validates orders before submission:

  • Sufficient balance check
  • Leverage limits verification
  • Symbol validity confirmation
  • Margin requirement calculation

3. Risk Warnings​

The AI warns about high-risk actions:

  • High leverage (>10x)
  • Large position sizes
  • Liquidation price proximity
  • Insufficient margin

4. Position Monitoring​

The AI tracks your positions and can alert you to:

  • Unrealized PnL changes
  • Liquidation risk
  • Open orders status

Spot Trading​

In addition to perpetual futures, you can trade spot markets using natural language:

Spot Trading Commands:

Buy 10 HYPE with USDC
Swap 50 USDC for PURR
Sell all my HYPE tokens

How It Works:

  1. AI detects spot market symbols (HYPE, PURR, etc.)
  2. Executes spot trade on the appropriate DEX
  3. No leverage involved (1x only)
  4. Actual token ownership (not contracts)

Supported Spot Markets:

  • Hyperliquid: HYPE/USDC, PURR/USDC, and other native tokens
  • Aster: BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT spot pairs
  • Lighter: ETH/USDC, BTC/USDC spot pairs
Spot vs Perpetual

The AI automatically determines whether you're trading spot or perpetual based on:

  • Symbol format (HYPE = spot, BTC = perp)
  • Command context ("buy tokens" vs "long position")
  • Market availability on selected DEX

Tips for Effective AI Chat Trading​

1. Be Specific​

Good:

Long 0.1 BTC on Hyperliquid with 5x leverage

Too Vague:

Buy some BTC

2. Use Natural Language​

The AI understands conversational commands:

I want to go long on ETH with 3x leverage, size 0.5

3. Specify DEX When Needed​

If trading on a different DEX than selected:

Buy 0.1 BTC on Aster

4. Ask Questions First​

Check information before trading:

What's my balance?
What's the current BTC price?
Show my open positions

5. Use Abbreviations​

The AI understands common abbreviations:

TP = Take-Profit
SL = Stop-Loss
PnL = Profit and Loss

Limitations and Considerations​

What AI Chat Can Do​

✅ Execute perpetual and spot trades ✅ Manage positions (open, close, modify) ✅ Set stop-loss and take-profit orders ✅ Query market data and portfolio information ✅ Calculate fees and margin requirements ✅ Provide trading insights and analysis

What AI Chat Cannot Do​

❌ Execute trades without confirmation ❌ Override DEX-specific limitations ❌ Guarantee trade execution (market conditions apply) ❌ Provide financial advice or predictions ❌ Access external wallets or accounts

Important Notes​

  1. Confirmation Required: All trades require explicit confirmation
  2. DEX Availability: Some features vary by DEX
  3. Market Conditions: Orders may fail due to liquidity or network issues
  4. API Key Setup: Aster and Lighter require initial deposit for API key generation
  5. Gasless Trading: All trading is gasless—no network fees for transactions
