Weekly Build Log

TP/SL Self-Healing System Deployed

HL native grouped TP/SL only works at entry, not retroactively. Built 60s cron loop that detects raw positions without exits and attaches resting reduce-only limit GTC orders. ETH SHORT now has TP @ $2,058; HYPE and WIF have SLs set.

First Live Trades — $112 Pilot

Deposit + $112 portfolio. 29 fills across ETH, SOL, TAO, HYPE, WIF. ETH SHORT best performer (+$9.72 UPnL at peak, 0.3673 @ $2,122, 20x). Other positions undersized due to 5% allocation on small account. Net PnL roughly flat on closed trades; open positions green.

Balance Bug Fixed — Correct Endpoint Found

HL unified accounts show $0 on perp-only endpoint (clearinghouseState). Root cause discovered through SDK source dive. Correct balance endpoint: portfolio[0][1]["accountValueHistory"][-1][1]. Also confirmed PK-only auth works with SDK v0.23 — no API key needed.

Operating Principles

No Black Boxes: Every strategy is built from first principles. You can read the code, see the backtests, and verify the live fills on-chain.
Pipeline Before Live: R&D → Backtest → Gate Check → Paper → LIVE. No skipped stages.
Self-Healing Systems: Cron-loop detects failures (missing TP/SL, stale data) and auto-recovers. No babysitting required.
Compounding Mindset: Treat the $112 pilot as if it's $500+. All plays run. All signals fire. Real money, real decisions.
