Four things to remember before real money
Non-custodial exchange API option
With an exchange API connection, funds stay in your exchange account. The optional AlphaFox-managed Hyperliquid trading account is a separate, custodial model; see the risk notice for the distinction.
No withdrawal permission
Grant read + trade only. If the connection test detects withdrawal permission, it blocks the key until you remove that permission.
Past returns promise nothing
Rankings and signals show history. Check drawdown before returns.
Paper first, live later
Run every strategy on paper for days and understand it before committing real funds.
