Dead-man switch

If you don’t return to Liquary within a window you choose, Hyperliquid cancels your open orders for you, so resting orders are not left exposed while you are away. Set it up in Settings → Dead-man switch.

How it works

  • Pick a timeout: 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
  • Arming the switch schedules a cancel-all on Hyperliquid’s side, at that deadline. Closing the tab or losing your connection does not stop it.
  • Each time you come back to Liquary, the deadline is pushed forward automatically by the same timeout.
  • Turning the switch off clears the schedule.

Requirements

  • An active trading agent. It is not available in no-agent mode.
  • $1,000,000 of lifetime traded volume on Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid refuses a scheduled cancel below that, so the section stays locked until your account gets there, and shows how far along it is.
⚠️

It cancels every open order, your take-profit and stop-loss orders included. When it fires, a position you protected with a stop is left with no stop at all, and it keeps running: the switch never closes a position. Do not count on it to protect a position.
