Agentic Trading and Auto Trade

Targeted answers for goal-driven (Agentic Trading) and rules-based (Auto Trade) automation behavior.

---

Why did Agentic Trading not execute my goal? Agentic Trading is approval-gated and conservative; non-execution is usually intentional:

• Approval pending — the plan is waiting on your confirmation. Open the agent's page and approve or reject the next step.
• Goal under-specified — vague goals ("make money this week") have no actionable plan. Restate with concrete bounds (asset universe, risk cap, time horizon).
• Pre-trade checks failed — balance or venue status blocked submission. The agent's action log shows the specific block reason.
• Risk gate triggered — the agent abstained because current conditions fell outside the goal's risk parameters. This is by design — Agentic Trading prefers no action to bad action.

Read the agent's most recent action log entry — it states why the agent decided to act or abstain.

Auto Trade fired at a price I didn't expect. The trigger and the fill price are two different numbers:

• Trigger fired on one quote, filled at another — between trigger evaluation and order submission, the market moved. This is expected in fast markets.
• A market order took what the book offered — market orders fill at the best available price, which can be some distance from the trigger in a thin or fast market. Where a rule supports a limit order, use one if fill price matters more than certainty of execution.
• Wrong rule condition — re-check the rule itself (price level, indicator, time window).

If the fill is far outside expected behavior and the rule looks correct, contact support with the rule ID, the order ID, and the timestamp.

How do I stop automation without closing my positions? There is no pause. Stop the strategy, and choose the exit option that keeps your positions:

• Stock signal copies — stopping offers three choices, and Sell All is pre-selected. Pick Take Over to halt new trades while leaving positions untouched. Sell All sells at market; Default lets the bot sell out as the signal closes positions.
• Crypto strategy copies (CoinSwing, Day Trade Stock Tokens) — stopping only blocks new entries; open positions are not closed.
• Hyperliquid Vault copies — stopping closes the copied positions at market. There is no option to stop while keeping them open, so stop only when you want to exit.

Auto Trade closed my manual position — why? Rules apply to everything in the configured scope, including positions you opened manually, if the rule's scope includes them:

• Direction conflict — the rule's scope includes the asset, and your manual position is on the opposite side of what the rule wants.
• Copied positions share your account — Hyperliquid Vault copies are mirrored into your main account, not a separate one, so copied and manual positions in the same market sit side by side and cannot be told apart automatically. Copying also sets your leverage for that market — to the Vault's in Fixed ratio mode, or to the leverage you picked in Fixed amount mode.

To preserve manual positions, stop the conflicting rule or copy before trading that market yourself, or narrow the rule's scope to exclude assets you'll manage by hand.

Note that Hyperliquid Vault copying places copied trades in your main Hyperliquid account alongside your own positions, and sets your leverage for those markets — so a copy can affect positions you opened yourself.

Can I roll back an Auto Trade trade? No — once an order is filled, it cannot be rolled back. The only way to reverse an unwanted fill is to place an opposing order at the current market.

• Stop the rule first so it doesn't immediately re-trigger and re-open the position you're trying to close.
• Then submit the reversing order manually.

If the fill resulted from a clear platform bug (not your rule firing correctly on market data), contact support with the rule ID, order ID, and explanation. Each case is reviewed individually; reversal is not guaranteed.

Strategy stopped running — why? Strategies stop for several reasons, all visible on the strategy page:

• You stopped it — the Stop action shows in the strategy's history with your account as the actor.
• It reached its run limit — a task finishes once it has fired its configured number of times, or once its maximum run duration has elapsed.
• You ran out of Credits — a task that can't pay for its own AI step stops rather than failing silently.
• Something it depends on broke — if a referenced asset or a broker/wallet connection is no longer usable, the task can't proceed.

Alphio does not stop a strategy on drawdown, a daily loss limit, or a position cap — no such automatic risk limits exist. If you need a hard exit at a price, ask Alphio AI in chat to put a stop-loss on the position.

Open the strategy's history tab and read the most recent stop event — the reason is recorded there.
