Fixed imports and API compatibility for NautilusTrader 1.231.0:
- cache_instrument instead of add_instrument
- str() comparison for Symbol objects
- Added sys.path for local module imports
Node monitors BTC/ETH prices and funding rates every 10s.
Running as background process on the VPS.
Connected live node to Hyperliquid Testnet with wallet
0xc939...2507. Verified: 210 perps + 1309 spot instruments.
Key management:
- .env file (gitignored) for local development
- .env.example as template
- systemd Environment= for production
- node.py loads from env var or .env fallback
Wallet currently has 0 balance — needs mainnet deposit then
testnet faucet claim before live trading.
Replaced the placeholder live node with a proper NautilusTrader
TradingNode that connects to Hyperliquid Testnet using the
official adapter. Added:
- common/hyperliquid_api.py: direct REST calls to Hyperliquid's
info endpoint for funding rates, predicted fundings, and
asset contexts
- backtests/run_backtest.py: CLI runner for strategy backtests
- Updated funding_rate_arb.py to fetch real funding rates
instead of using a hardcoded placeholder
- Added requests to requirements.txt
Set up the directory structure and wrote placeholder logic for:
- Order Book Imbalance: trades on L2 bid/ask skew
- Iceberg/TWAP detection: follows whale accumulation patterns
- Funding rate arbitrage: delta-neutral carry on perp funding
- Pairs trading: BTC/ETH spread mean reversion
- Avellaneda-Stoikov market making: optimal bid/ask quoting
Also added shared risk manager, portfolio tracker, and a plain-language strategy walkthrough in docs/.
