Get from sign-up to first managed trade.
TradeFloor is an execution and discipline tool. You bring the account and the rules; it places, manages, and protects the trades. This guide walks the whole path — no jargon.
Create your account
Register with an email and password, or continue with Google or Apple. New accounts land in a short onboarding that asks your experience level so the app tunes its defaults to you.
If you tell us you're newer to leveraged trading, onboarding adds a short walkthrough of deposit protection before you connect a key. Experienced traders get a shorter path straight to connecting an exchange.
The last onboarding step links you to add an exchange API key. Once a key is connected you can place a manual order, build a config, or explore signals — nothing trades on its own until you set it up.
Everything in the app is reversible from Settings — you can disconnect a key, pause a config, or close a position at any time.
Add an API key
TradeFloor is non-custodial. It never holds your funds — it connects to your own exchange account through an API key you generate. Supported venues: Hyperliquid, Binance (USDⓈ-M futures) and Bybit (V5 linear perpetuals).
- · Use a dedicated API wallet / sub-account for TradeFloor, not the key that guards your whole balance.
- · Grant trade permission only. Never enable withdrawals on a key you paste into any third-party tool.
- · If your exchange offers an IP allowlist, use it.
- · Keys are encrypted at rest and are used only to place and manage the orders you configure.
Generate an API wallet in the HL app, paste the private key. If it's an agent wallet or sub-account, TradeFloor resolves the master address for you.
Create a Futures API key with Enable Futures on and withdrawals off. Paste the key + secret.
Create a Unified Trading API key with Contract — Orders/Positions permission, withdrawals off. Paste the key + secret.
In the app: Settings → API credentials → Add. Pick the venue, paste the key, save. You can hold keys for more than one exchange at once.
Guardrails that run for you
Leverage punishes a bad day hard. TradeFloor's default posture is protective — the point of the tool is to stop one loss from becoming a blown account.
Every managed order ships with a stop-loss (2% by default). The app warns you before opening a position that has no stop, and won't quietly place a naked one.
After a losing streak, Anti-Tilt pauses new risk so one bad session can't spiral. It never blocks you from closing, reducing, or moving a stop. For newer traders it's on by default with a gentle preset; you can tune or turn it off any time on the Anti-Tilt page.
Once a key is connected, TradeFloor watches your positions' margin health and alerts you as you approach liquidation. Automatic protective actions are opt-in — nothing force-closes your book without your say-so.
You set the rules; it executes
Automation on TradeFloor means your conditions, executed and managed consistently — entries, stops, take-profits and re-entries handled the same way every time, without you watching the screen.
A config binds a coin, direction, leverage, stop-loss and take-profit ladder to one of your API keys. Manual configs open when you click; trigger configs open when a condition fires.
Attach conditions like RSI level, RSI divergence or order-book imbalance (OBI). The engine evaluates them and opens the config's trade when they're met. A one-time risk consent guards the first activation.
Group configs into a strategy and cap how much of a wallet it can commit. The rebalancer keeps allocation inside the budget you set.
One screen for everything live: open positions, per-strategy health, margin, and one-click close. It's the home base once things are running.
TradeFloor doesn't promise an edge or a win rate. It removes the execution and discipline mistakes that quietly cost traders money — placing stops, sizing consistently, and not revenge-trading a bad hour. The strategy is yours.
These docs cover the concepts — what the platform does and how to get set up safely. Screen-by-screen how-to lives in the app, under Help: a searchable guide for every page (Mission Control, Terminal, Configs, Journal, Backtest…) plus an FAQ, in English, Russian and Spanish.
