What is the Hyperliquid Whale Tracker?

The Hyperliquid Whale Tracker is a specialized module in MagicTradeBot that monitors large wallet (“whale”) activity on the Hyperliquid exchange. It detects significant trades in real time and can either generate signals for manual execution or execute trades automatically through copy-trading.

🔹 Purpose

  1. Monitor Whale Activity

  2. Tracks verified, high-capacity wallets on Hyperliquid

  3. Detects major on-chain trades that could influence market movements

  4. React to Market Events

  5. Provides signal-based alerts or automated trade execution based on whale behavior

  6. High-impact signals allow traders to potentially follow market-moving wallets

  7. Enhance Trading Strategies

  8. Supports both signal-only mode (observe before trading) and fully automated copy-trading

  9. Enables integration with broader risk management and stop-loss strategies

🔹 How It Works

  1. Whale Wallet Tracking

  2. Add trusted Hyperliquid wallet addresses to the tracking_addresses list

  3. Avoid tracking too many wallets to reduce signal noise

  4. Execution Modes

  5. Signal-only (place_order: false): Receives notifications without executing trades

  6. Automated (place_order: true): Bot mirrors whale trades in real time

  7. Signal Broadcasting

  8. Signals can be sent to:

    • Web UI dashboards
    • Telegram notifications
    • System logs

  9. Order Limits

  10. Use max_orders_per_whale to limit exposure per wallet

  11. Example: max_orders_per_whale: 1 → one active trade per whale at a time
