Everything you need to know about UP/ONLY — from how the AI works to withdrawals, security, and your wallet.
Ready to start trading? The AI is live and waiting.
Get Started FreeNo. UP/ONLY creates a secure non-custodial Hyperliquid wallet for you automatically when you sign up — no MetaMask, no browser extension, no seed phrase to import. Just an email address. Your wallet is ready in seconds.
If you prefer to connect an existing wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Phantom), you can do that too from Settings → Wallet. But most users use the auto-generated wallet — it's simpler and just as secure.

UP/ONLY is an autonomous AI trading platform that trades crypto perpetual futures and prediction markets on your behalf — 24/7, without you needing to watch charts or place orders.
The AI runs a 9-signal ensemble that continuously scores market conditions, routes high-conviction setups through three simultaneous strategy layers (swing trades, scalp trades, and funding carry), and manages every position from entry to exit — all while three independent risk layers protect your capital.
Read the full docs →Nine independent signals each analyze the market from a different angle — trend, momentum, volume, volatility, flow, breakout, mean reversion, funding arbitrage, and VWAP. Each signal casts a directional vote weighted by the current market regime (trending, ranging, or volatile).
The weighted votes combine into a 0–100 confidence score. Only scores above the threshold trigger a trade. In volatile markets the threshold is raised — the AI only fires on genuinely strong setups and sits flat when conditions aren't right.
Anchor Swings — high-conviction longer-hold trades (4–48 hours) that ride major market moves. Trailing stops let winners extend far beyond the initial target. The main profit driver.
Grinder Scalps — short-term intraday trades (3–60 minutes) that generate consistent P&L on quiet days when swings aren't triggering. Dominant in ranging markets.
Funding Carry — always-on passive overlay. Biases position direction toward the side collecting Hyperliquid's funding rate. No extra trades — purely additive returns on positions already held.
All three run simultaneously. Together they produce P&L in trending, ranging, and volatile conditions.
It depends on market conditions and your risk profile. On an active trending day the AI may take 1–2 swing trades and 4–6 scalp trades. On a quiet day it may hold existing positions and wait for strong setups before entering new ones.
The AI is designed to wait for quality over quantity — it never forces trades just to be active. Days with fewer trades often have better individual results than days with many marginal ones.
UP/ONLY trades only high-liquidity, high-volume perpetual futures on Hyperliquid DEX. Thin markets are excluded entirely — they create slippage, bad fills, and unreliable signals.
Currently supported: BTC, ETH, SOL, ARB, AVAX, DOGE, WIF, PEPE, SUI, OP, INJ, and more. New pairs are added as Hyperliquid listings grow and liquidity thresholds are met.
Yes — completely. The AI → Decisions tab shows a live log of every decision with the confidence score, individual signal breakdown, which strategy layer was used, and plain-English reasoning explaining why the trade was taken or skipped.
You can also get trade alerts with this same reasoning delivered to your phone via the Telegram bot in real time.
No — the AI keeps running. Manual Mode lets you place a one-off trade alongside the AI's ongoing autonomous activity. The AI's scanning, signal analysis, and position management continue uninterrupted. Your manual trade is a single independent entry; it doesn't affect anything the AI is doing.
Most trades execute at 3–5× effective leverage regardless of your profile. Your risk profile sets a maximum ceiling — not a default. The AI dynamically selects leverage based on signal confidence, current volatility, and market regime.
Higher leverage is only used on the highest-conviction signals (score 91+). Most trading sits well below the ceiling.
UP/ONLY trades YES/NO binary outcomes on Polymarket. The AI continuously scans active events and estimates its own probability for each outcome. When the market price diverges from the AI's estimate beyond a threshold (default 5% edge), it enters a position.
Markets resolve on their deadline. If correct, winnings are automatically credited to your wallet. In Auto mode the AI manages this autonomously — in Manual mode you can place prediction trades yourself from Markets → Prediction.
Losing trades are part of any trading system. The AI is designed to keep individual losses small (ATR-based stops, tight sizing) and let winners run far (trailing stops on swing trades). A consistent 2:1+ win-to-loss ratio maintains positive expectancy even at a moderate win rate.
After 4 consecutive losses, a 10-minute cooldown automatically activates to prevent over-trading in deteriorating conditions.
Positions are tracked separately for swing trades (Anchor layer) and scalp trades (Grinder layer):
The actual number open at any time also depends on available portfolio heat — the Risk Governor won't open new positions if exposure limits are already reached.
Yes — in theory. Perpetual futures trading involves significant risk. Leverage amplifies losses as well as gains. The AI's three-layer risk system (P&L Protector, Risk Governor, Kill Switch) is designed to prevent catastrophic loss — but no system eliminates market risk entirely, especially during black swan events.
Never deposit more than you can afford to lose entirely.
The Kill Switch is always one tap away from the app header or via /killswitch in the Telegram bot. Three levels:
If connectivity drops, the AI immediately pauses all new entries. Your open positions remain on-chain — on-chain stop-loss orders are already placed and stay active even if the app disconnects. You receive a Telegram alert within 60 seconds.
When connectivity restores, the AI reconnects and resumes automatically. No action needed from you.
The P&L Protector automatically scales down new position sizes as your daily gains grow — so you can't give back a great day to a bad afternoon. Your existing winning trades with trailing stops continue running at full size unaffected. Only new entries are reduced.
The AI also dynamically adjusts your drawdown tolerance over time based on observed account performance. Resets at 00:00 UTC each day.
Start with Dynamic. It's the recommended default for most users — balanced between consistency and performance. The leverage ceiling is 5× but effective leverage on most trades is 3–4×.
Move to Conservative if you want tighter drawdown limits and fewer simultaneous positions. Move to Aggressive only once you've observed the AI's behavior on Dynamic for at least 30 days and are comfortable with higher potential swings in both directions.
No — completely non-custodial. Your private keys are encrypted and stored only on your device. UP/ONLY has zero access. There is no scenario in which we can move your funds. Your USDC is held in your own Hyperliquid wallet at all times.
Go to Wallet → Deposit. Copy your Hyperliquid wallet address or scan the QR code. Send USDC from any exchange or external wallet to that address. Funds appear in your balance within seconds — no gas fees on Hyperliquid.
Go to Wallet → Withdraw and send to any address. If you have open positions, you can withdraw your free margin at any time. To withdraw your full balance, activate Kill Switch L2 first to close all positions, then withdraw.
Warning: Withdrawals are permanent. Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed. Always verify the destination address before confirming.
UP/ONLY charges a 10% performance fee on net profits — applied to closed profitable positions only. If you don't profit, you don't pay.
Hyperliquid charges exchange trading fees on each trade: approximately 0.045% taker / 0.02% maker on notional value. These go directly to Hyperliquid, not to UP/ONLY.
There are no subscription fees, no deposit fees, and no gas fees on Hyperliquid.
Yes. Go to Settings → Security → Export Key. Your encrypted private key can be exported and imported into any Hyperliquid-compatible wallet. Your funds are never locked to UP/ONLY — you can access them independently at any time.
Multiple independent layers:
Our only official channels:
UP/ONLY admins will NEVER DM you first. We will never ask for your private key, seed phrase, or ask you to send funds to any address. Anyone doing this is a scammer. Block and report.
No. Your individual trades are completely private. Only your aggregated P&L percentage and rank appear on the leaderboard — anonymised behind your wallet address. Your trader card stats are only visible to others if you choose to share them.
Find your referral code in Earn → Referrals. Share it with traders you think will genuinely benefit from the platform. When they join and trade under your referral, you're linked permanently.
The referral system is built around community growth — not monetisation. The more traders we have actively winning, the better the collective data and signal quality for everyone. Share when you're having good weeks. Real results speak louder than any pitch.
Go to Settings → Notifications → Telegram → tap the link to open @uponlytraderbot → send /start → follow the one-time connection link. Takes about 30 seconds. Once connected you receive trade alerts, can check your portfolio with /portfolio, and trigger the Kill Switch with /killswitch — all from Telegram.
