Sub-accounts NOT supported — Use your main Hyperliquid account only

📖 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 — Open Hyperliquid API Settings

Step 2 — Create Your API Key

Enter a name for your API wallet (e.g., "EntryGenius"). Click "Generate" to create a new API key, then click "Authorize API Wallet".

Step 3 — Configure & Save Your Private Key

In the popup window:

Set "Days Valid" to MAX (180 days) by clicking the "MAX" button
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Copy and save your Private Key — it will NOT be shown again!
Click "Authorize" to activate your API key

🔐 Save your Private Key NOW! Once you close this window, you cannot see it again. Store it securely.

Step 4 — Get Your Wallet Address

Click on your wallet address in the top-right corner of Hyperliquid. Copy your Master wallet address (the one that starts with 0x...).

📝 Note: Copy your Account Wallet Address (Master), NOT the API Wallet Address. They are different!

Step 5 — Add Account to EntryGenius

Now go to your EntryGenius Accounts page:

Click "Add Account"
Enter a name (e.g., "My Hyperliquid")
Paste your Wallet Address
Paste your API Private Key
Click "Add Account" — Done! ✅

Go to Accounts Page

💰 Where to Put Your Funds

The same API key works for both Futures and Spot trading. However, you need to have funds in the correct wallet depending on which features you want to use:

📈 Copy Trading (Futures)

Funds must be in your Futures/Perps wallet
Used for leveraged trading
Our AI signals execute here automatically

🤖 DCA Bots (Spot)

Funds must be in your Spot wallet
Used for spot buying (no leverage)
Bot accumulates crypto over time

💡 Pro Tip: You can have funds in BOTH wallets and run Copy Trading + DCA Bots at the same time with a single account!

⚠️ Using Multiple Bots on Same Asset

🚨 Important Warning

If you want to run multiple bots on the same asset (e.g., DCA Bot for BTC + Copy Trading signals for BTC), you should create separate accounts to avoid order conflicts.

Same asset, different bots → Use 2 separate Hyperliquid accounts
Different assets → One account is fine (e.g., DCA on ETH + Copy Trading on BTC)

This prevents orders from interfering with each other and keeps your positions clean.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need separate API keys for Spot and Futures?

No! One API key works for both Spot and Futures trading. Just make sure you have funds in the correct wallet (Spot wallet for DCA Bots, Futures wallet for Copy Trading).

Which subscription do I need?

Premium unlocks DCA Bots. Pro unlocks Copy Trading + DCA Bots. Both work with the same Hyperliquid account setup.

Can I use sub-accounts?

No. Hyperliquid sub-accounts are not supported. You must use your main account to generate the API key.

My API key doesn't work

Make sure you: (1) Clicked "Authorize" after generating the key. (2) Copied the Private Key, not the wallet address. (3) Have funds in your Hyperliquid wallet.

How do I transfer funds between Spot and Futures?

In Hyperliquid, go to Portfolio → Transfer. You can move USDC between your Spot and Futures wallets instantly with no fees.

Is my API key safe?

Yes. Your API key is encrypted and stored securely. It can only execute trades — it cannot withdraw funds from your wallet.
