What an automated Hyperliquid bot does after launch
Most bot pages describe setup. This one covers the part you don't watch: what Anello's automation does with a running grid or DCA bot, and where its permissions stop.
The running loop
A grid bot's real work starts after its orders are placed. Anello watches your fills in real time over Hyperliquid's websocket feed: when a buy fills, the paired sell goes up one rung higher, and when that sell fills, a new buy replaces it below. The ladder maintains itself for as long as the bot runs, including through reconnects.
A DCA bot runs on a clock instead. At every scheduled interval (UTC) it places the configured spot buy. A failed buy, from insufficient balance for example, doesn't stop the bot: the failure is reported to your channels and the next scheduled run tries again.
Fills are automatic, your cancels are respected
An order can leave the book for two reasons, and the bot treats them differently. If it filled, the runtime accounts the trade and places the replacement on its own. If you canceled it by hand on the exchange, the bot assumes you had a reason: those rungs sit empty until you approve a repair, which restores the original orders at the same price and size. Nothing is re-placed behind your back.
Notifications
Connect Telegram or Discord and the bot reports fills, failed DCA buys, stops, and status changes as they happen. Automation you can't observe is automation you end up babysitting anyway; the point of the notifications is that you don't have to keep the app open.
Permissions and the off switch
Everything runs through a Hyperliquid agent wallet: a separate key that can place and cancel orders for your account and has no ability to withdraw or transfer funds. Stopping a bot cancels its resting orders and leaves your balances where they are. Revoking the agent cuts off the automation entirely, and you can do that yourself at any time.
What automation can't fix
A bot executes the configuration you give it, including a bad one, and it executes it faster than you would catch by hand. A mistaken range or order size still trades as instructed. Inspect the preview, understand the fees, and start small before you scale exposure.
Questions
Does the bot keep trading while I'm offline?
Yes. The automation runs server-side against Hyperliquid's live feed, so fills are handled and replacement orders placed whether or not you have the app open. Notifications keep you informed in the meantime.
Is an automated Hyperliquid bot non-custodial?
With Anello, yes. Automation runs through a Hyperliquid agent wallet that can place and cancel orders but cannot withdraw your funds. Your assets stay in your own wallet, and you can revoke the authorization whenever you want.
What happens if a scheduled DCA buy fails?
The bot reports the failure through your notification channels and tries again at the next scheduled run. It does not stop or need to be restarted.
Can automation lose money?
Yes. A bot follows the configuration you give it, including a wrong range or size, and it cannot remove market risk. Check the preview, start small, and know the fees before scaling up.
