Vibe Trader is a cryptocurrency trading simulator that combines real-time order book data from HyperLiquid with TradingView charts from Binance Perpetuals. Practice short-term trading strategies risk-free with simulated $1,000 starting balance.

Paper trading is the default mode - no setup required! Start practicing immediately with simulated funds.

When the app loads, a BTC ladder is already open. Click + Add Ladder in the header to add more coins (ETH, SOL, etc.).

At the bottom of each ladder, use the Order Size input to set how much you want to trade. Default is 0.001 BTC.

Go Long (Buy): Click anywhere on the left side (green bid column) to place a buy order at that price.
Go Short (Sell): Click anywhere on the right side (red ask column) to place a sell order at that price.

Your order appears as a colored marker on the ladder. When price reaches your level, it fills automatically. Check the Journal button to see your orders and positions.

To take profit or cut losses: place an opposite order (sell if you're long, buy if you're short), or click Flatten to close at market price instantly.

Right-click on any order marker to cancel it. Or use Cancel Buys / Cancel Sells buttons to cancel all orders on one side.

Orders placed away from the current price are Maker orders (you get a 0.02% rebate!). Orders that fill immediately are Taker orders (0.05% fee). Place limit orders for better fills!

1. A HyperLiquid account with funds deposited
2. An API wallet set up on HyperLiquid (separate from your main wallet for security)

Go to app.hyperliquid.xyz/API and click "Create API Wallet". This generates a new wallet that can trade on your behalf but cannot withdraw funds.

After creating the API wallet, you must approve it to trade for your main account. Follow the prompts on HyperLiquid to authorize the connection.

On the API page, click "Export Private Key" for your API wallet. Copy this key - you'll need it for Vibe Trader. Never share this key with anyone.

Click the Settings (gear icon) button in the header. Under "HyperLiquid Trading":

1. Main Wallet Address: Paste your main HyperLiquid wallet address (0x...)
2. API Wallet Private Key: Paste the private key you exported in Step 3
3. Click Save for each field

In Settings, under "Trade Mode", choose:
Paper Only: All trades are simulated (default, safe for practice)
Auto: Uses live trading if configured, falls back to paper
Live Only: All trades go to HyperLiquid exchange (real money!)

When properly configured, you'll see "Live Trading Active" in green at the bottom of Settings. Your live balance will display in the header.

Place orders the same way as paper trading. Live orders show a "LIVE" badge in the Journal. Orders sync with HyperLiquid in real-time.

- Your private key is stored in your browser's localStorage (never sent to our servers)
- API wallets can only trade, not withdraw - your funds are safe even if the key is compromised
- Clear your keys from Settings before using shared/public computers
- Consider using a dedicated browser profile for trading

Adds a new price ladder for a different cryptocurrency. Multiple ladders can be open simultaneously.

Each ladder shows: bid sizes (left, green), price levels (center), ask sizes (right, red). The current price is highlighted in the middle.

Left-click on bid side = Buy limit order
Left-click on ask side = Sell limit order
Right-click on any order = Cancel order

Orders placed at or better than market price fill immediately as Taker orders (0.05% fee). Orders placed away from market are Maker orders (-0.02% rebate).

Click the dropdown to switch between available cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.).

Opens a TradingView chart panel for the selected coin with technical indicators.

Pins the ladder to prevent auto-centering when price moves. Useful for watching specific price levels.
