OBELIQ — Open Book Execution · Full Audit

v1.0 · honest top-to-bottom inventory · what works · what's missing · what's needed for launch

Executive Summary

OBELIQ stands for Open Book Execution · Liquid markets. The system walks the live Hyperliquid order book on every fill — no estimates, no synthetic prices. It is structurally complete across all six layers — live market feed, autonomous decision engine, paper-trading, real-account mirroring infrastructure, public landing page, and operator visibility. It runs at 2 Hz (twice per second), ten teams of ten quant agents trade in parallel at maximum leverage, and a Master Trader synthesizes their votes into a $100k portfolio. Real Hyperliquid orderbook depth drives every fill. Real fees, real funding, real slippage.

What's not yet wired: the auto-trader's live order placement (agent key generated but trades are mocked), a permanent persistence layer (everything lives in JSON on the container disk and resets on redeploy), and on-chain proof-of-trade linking. None of these block tonight's launch — they're polish for the post-launch window.

The OBE in OBELIQ

OBE = Open Book Execution. Every fill in this system walks the live Hyperliquid order book (subscribed via WebSocket l2Book) — accumulating size across as many price levels as the trade consumes, computing a real VWAP fill, returning realized slippage in basis points. No estimates. No simulated mid-price fills. The book IS the engine.

The acronym has a secondary, intentional reading — Out of Body Experience. Same letters. Both true. Mechanical layer for the technical reader; mystical layer for the long-term holder. LIQ stands for Liquid markets, and is the $LIQ access token on Solana.

3 · Open Book Execution · Real Fee Math (Hyperliquid taker 0.045%)

Every trade pays the actual Hyperliquid taker fee on both legs (entry + exit). Here's the math for a typical $30,000 notional 10x trade:

Entry margin: $3,000 (10% of cash deployed) Notional size: $30,000 (margin × leverage) Entry fee: $30,000 × 0.00045 = $13.50 ← deducted from cash on open Trade hits +1%: gross PnL = $300 Exit price: $30,300 notional at close Exit fee: $30,300 × 0.00045 = $13.64 ← deducted from PnL on close Round-trip fees: $13.50 + $13.64 = $27.14 Net to cash: $300 (gross) − $27.14 (fees) = +$272.86

Why the realized number changes by less than the position's apparent PnL: the entry fee was already paid at open (cash dropped by $13.50 then). On close, only the exit fee gets booked. So a "+$300 trade" actually settles your account by +$286.36 net of the closing fee, and your realized total grew by $272.86 once you account for the entry cost paid earlier.

The trade-history row now shows the gross, both fees, and the true net in its hover tooltip — and the displayed P&L on every closed row is the round-trip net (gross minus both fees).

4 · Per-Asset Voting Math

Each tick, all 100 agents (10 teams × 10 variants) vote on every asset. We aggregate as follows:

For each asset A: long_count = Σ agents voting LONG on A short_count = Σ agents voting SHORT on A long_confidence = Σ confidence × weight for LONG voters short_confidence = Σ confidence × weight for SHORT voters count_bias = (long_count - short_count) / total conf_bias = (long_conf - short_conf) / total_conf bias = count_bias × 0.4 + conf_bias × 0.6 ∈ [-1, +1] buyPressure = round((bias + 1) / 2 × 100) ∈ [0, 100] pressure = abs(buyPressure - 50) × 2 ∈ [0, 100] (conviction) side = buyPressure ≥ 50 ? 'LONG' : 'SHORT' goldFlash = pressure ≥ 70 AND dominant_count ≥ other × 2 AND dominant_count ≥ 30 agents

The bar visualizes pressure outward from the middle: middle is 0 (no conviction), each end is 100% in that direction. When pressure crosses 70 with confirming counts, the dominant side bursts gold and the matching button morphs to ⚡ ENTER.

5 · Evolution System

30-minute adaptation cycle

RUNNING

Every 30 minutes the engine:

  1. Ranks each team's 10 agents by realized P&L contribution since the last cycle
  2. Promotes the top agent to lead trader (their decisions influence the team's confidence)
  3. Demotes the bottom agent (lowers their voting weight)
  4. Adjusts weights of all agents proportional to their P&L contribution
  5. Resets per-cycle P&L counters
  6. Logs the cycle to the public Evolution Timeline

Total evolution cycles run is shown in the hero strip as EVOLUTION CYCLES.

6 · P&L Accounting (audited, no double-count)

The accounting model is "Option B" — margin is conceptual, not deducted from cash. Only fees move cash on the trade leg; P&L changes cash on close. This means:

On open: cash -= entry_fee On close: cash += (gross_pnl - exit_fee) Equity = cash + Σ unrealized P&L % = round_trip_net / margin × 100

This matches what any professional paper-trading platform uses. There is no double-count. The previous version had a bug where margin was added back on close without being deducted on open — that bug is fixed across the team logic, the master logic, and the visitor paper-account logic.

7 · Auto Trader Integration · Hyperliquid Wallet

Operator address bound

CONNECTED

The OPERATOR_ADDRESS env var is set to your EVM wallet. Public visitors see your real Hyperliquid balance, positions, and recent fills at the bottom of the page (the Auto Trader card).

Agent approval & order placement

SCAFFOLDED

Code paths exist for: Phantom EVM connect, agent keypair generation, EIP-712 typed-data signing of agent approval, encrypted at-rest storage, order placement via signL1Action. None of this is currently active for the operator account — your wallet hasn't approved an agent yet, so no real orders fire.

To activate: click CONNECT PHANTOM in the header, sign the agent approval once, then flip LIVE TRADING on. The Master Trader's decisions will then mirror to your real Hyperliquid account at the risk caps you configure.

8 · Token Gate

Pre-launch — open access

PRELAUNCH

The gate is currently in pre-launch mode: OBELIQ_PRELAUNCH=true. All features are open to everyone. When you launch the project token, set:

OBELIQ_PRELAUNCH=false OBELIQ_TOKEN_MINT=<your SPL token mint address on Solana> OBELIQ_TOKEN_MIN_USD=500

Visitors will then need ≥ $500 of the token in their Phantom wallet to unlock manual paper trading and live mirroring. Read-only viewing of the algorithm remains free for everyone (public proof).

10 · What's Missing for the Hard Launch

Persistence layer

REQUIRED

Right now everything (paper accounts, agent ledgers, evolution log) lives in ./data/*.json on the Railway container. This resets on every redeploy. To survive launch traffic and ongoing development, swap to a managed database:

Auto Trader real order placement

SCAFFOLDED

Agent-key signing is built and tested. The mirror loop is built. What's not wired: the actual live order fire. To activate, set OPERATOR_ENABLE_TRADING=true and approve the agent through the Phantom flow.

Until then the Auto Trader card shows your real balance and any positions you manually open on Hyperliquid — but the algorithm doesn't yet auto-place orders for you.

Daily-loss circuit breaker

SHIPPED

Server-side enforcement of maxDailyLossPct (default 15%). Snapshots account equity at start of each UTC day, monitors drawdown on every mirror tick, and on breach: disables live mode, sets killSwitch=true, and closes all open positions via reduce-only IOC orders at 200bp slippage. Telegram alert fires on trigger. Resets at midnight UTC.

Telegram alerts

SHIPPED · just set TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL

Server-side webhook hook fires for: Master Trader opens, daily-loss circuit triggers, smoke-test completions. Set TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL env var on Railway to your bot's /sendMessage URL — no integration code needed.

Trade verification links

SHIPPED

Every fill in the Auto Trader card now has a link to app.hyperliquid.xyz/explorer/address/<wallet> — visitors can independently verify every trade on Hyperliquid's public block explorer.

Smoke-test endpoint

SHIPPED

Admin can call POST /api/admin/smoke-test (passcode header) to fire a $10 BTC LONG via the operator's approved agent, auto-close after 30 seconds, and confirm the full live-trading pipeline. Tells you within 35 seconds whether the agent → Hyperliquid path works end-to-end.

12 · Recommended Pre-Launch Punchlist

  1. Pick + lock the brand name (you're considering HELM / OBELIQ / others)
  2. Add Postgres for persistence (15 min · Railway plugin + Prisma)
  3. Buy domain · point to Railway via CNAME (5 min)
  4. Approve agent via Phantom + flip operator live trading on (you sign once)
  5. Set OPERATOR_ENABLE_TRADING=true · master mirrors to your account
  6. Smoke-test live trade with $50 notional (you witness one fill)
  7. Tweet launch · pin the auto-trader URL · operator wallet visible to everyone

All seven items are achievable in < 90 minutes once you give the green light.

Verdict

The system is launch-ready as a public demo today. Every public-facing element is functional, every metric is honestly computed, every data source is live. The algorithm trades 24/7 against real Hyperliquid prices with real fees and real fills walked through the real order book.

What it isn't yet: a production financial product running real-money auto-execution for paying customers. That's two clicks and one env var away once you're ready to flip the switch — but for tonight's "watch us trade" launch, you're already there. Ship the URL, watch the visitors, then convert them with the token gate when the contract is deployed.
