Liquidation guard bot
A Liquidation guard watches a position you already hold.
More
When the mark price comes within your distance of the liquidation price, it adds margin from your free balance, closes part of the position, or only alerts you, by your rule. It never opens or adds to a position.
When to use it
When you hold a leveraged position and want a safety net while you are away.
Settings
Every bot trades in your own Hyperliquid account. In the setup you pick the market, the amount and the leverage; Safe, Balanced and Aggressive fill in the rest from the coin's own volatility, and Customize settings opens every setting below. Rivemont's fee is from 0.1% per fill, lower with your 30-day volume, plus Hyperliquid's own trading fee.
- Act at
- How close to the liquidation price (in %, up to 50) it acts. Larger: acts earlier.
- Then
- Both (margin while it can, else cut), Margin (isolated positions only), Cut (a reduce-only order) or Alert (trades nothing).
- Add and Most a day
- The margin added each time, and the most it adds in one UTC day.
- Cut
- The share of the position closed each time.
- Actions a day and Wait
- At most this many actions per UTC day (1 to 50), and the minutes between two actions (1 to 1,440).
Example
A $5,000 isolated BTC long with liquidation at $90,000, act at 10%, add $50: when BTC falls to about $99,000 the bot adds $50 of margin, which moves the liquidation price lower; it can do so 3 times a day.
What can go wrong
It checks once a minute
: a very fast move can reach the liquidation price between two checks.Margin it adds can be lost too.
Set a daily cap you can afford. It has no backtest.
