Building a multi-layer autonomous trading system on Bitget USDT-M perpetuals using Hummingbot V2. Two engines run side by side on the same account: Engine 1 — Systematic Strategy: Scans a 24-pair universe across crypto, commodities (gold/silver perps), and stock perps (NVDA, TSLA, META, etc.). Three independent signal engines vote on each symbol — momentum, mean reversion, and multi-timeframe confluence. Ranks all pairs by confidence and opens up to 3 positions with per-symbol leverage (15× BTC, 10× SOL, 5× stocks). Triple barrier exits with trailing stops, hard SL/TP, and time limits. Engine 2 — Autonomous AI Agent: An LLM-powered agent that scans every 60 seconds with its own 3 position slots (6 total across both engines). Makes independent trading decisions based on market data, but also monitors and can close the strategy's positions if market conditions change. Decisions are journaled with reasoning. Uses Condor (Hummingbot's Telegram AI agent) for the loop infrastructure and decision management. What makes it unique: the two engines complement each other — the strategy handles systematic coverage across 24 pairs while the agent handles opportunistic trades and risk oversight. The agent can act as a risk manager, closing strategy positions when its analysis disagrees. All trades from both engines share a unified journal with source tags. Built with Hummingbot on Bitget. Custom dashboard with live scanner, strategy radar, trade journal, and Condor AI integration. Already live and trading.

I want to build a multi-strategy autonomous trading agent for Meteora that combines CLMM liquidity provision with cross-venue arbitrage detection, all driven by LLM reasoning. Strategy: The agent runs two coordinated layers: - LP Layer — Concentrated liquidity positions on Meteora DLMM pools. Scans trending pools, ranks by fee yield, dynamically adjusts range width based on volatility, and rotates capital through per-slot take-profit/stop-loss (20%). - Arbitrage Layer — Monitors price discrepancies between Meteora, Orca, Raydium, and Hyperliquid. When the LP layer identifies a pool with sufficient depth, the agent can execute arbitrage trades that profit from venue price gaps while simultaneously improving its LP position's fee capture. What makes it unique: Most hackathon agents pick one strategy. This agent uses LLM reasoning to decide when to LP and when to arb — reading market conditions, fee rates, and pool depth to allocate capital to the highest-yield activity at any moment. The Condor harness separates the reasoning (LLM decides) from execution (Hummingbot places orders), so the agent never misses an arb window while thinking. Built on GenTech's existing multi-chain infrastructure — x402 payments, ERC-8004 identity, and gasless settlement via Q402 — this agent is designed to scale beyond the hackathon into a fully autonomous DeFi operator. Venue: Meteora DLMM (primary), Orca/Raydium (rotation), Hyperliquid (arb detection)

ABCMM — a market-making agent for XRP/RLUSD on Gate.io (CEX) and XRPL native DEX, run via Condor (LLM-driven decision layer) over Hummingbot execution. Core differentiator: quotes are anchored to Flare's FTSO v2 fair-value oracle (decentralized on-chain price), not the CEX mid that most other builders will reference. This means our quotes are honest relative to on-chain truth, not reflexive to the same feed. Strategy: dynamic spread = f(FTSO mid vs CEX mid divergence, inventory skew toward 50/50 XRP/RLUSD, ATR volatility). Order sizes scale with inventory distance from target. Risk guards: max absolute inventory, max order size, kill-switch if FTSO staleness > 30s, hard daily PnL stop. Plan: ship Gate first (easier infra, proven CEX connector), then mirror the same strategy to XRPL DEX — same code path, two venues. Why I can build it: 2+ years Web3 / smart-contract engineering. Recently shipped a CC-enclave rebalancer on Coston2 (Flare testnet) and a Circle Agent Stack–powered Aave keeper — both with on-chain attested execution. Same primitive pattern, now applied to live trading.

Most Orca LPs lose money to bad range management — they sit in static ranges that drift out of zone, or they rebalance reactively right at the worst price, locking in losses at every flush. We read orderflow from Binance to do two things: anticipate where SOL is heading and distinguish a real trend from a capitulation flush. The flow signal drives where we center our range, how tight we make our ticks, and crucially when not to rebalance — holding through exhaustion moves that reactive strategies bleed into. Backtest shows X% more fees and Y% less time out of range vs. reactive rebalancing, with the biggest outperformance during volatile flushes. The framework generalizes to any volatile Orca pool, including RWA pairs Our strategy doesn't eliminate impermanent loss — every CL LP carries IL by design. What it does is (a) capture more fees by staying in range longer, and (b) avoid realizing IL at the worst possible prices by not rebalancing into flushes. Net P&L = fees − realized IL − gas. We win on the fees side and we win on the timing of the IL realization —-- Submission for registration for AgentCup: Project Vision: Intelligent Orca Liquidity Provision via Condor LP Executors My team is building an advanced liquidity provision (LP) agent specifically for the Orca decentralized exchange, utilizing the Condor framework to automate and optimize range management. The Core Problem Most Orca liquidity providers fail due to flawed range management strategies. They either deploy static ranges that quickly drift out of zone as market conditions evolve, or they employ reactive rebalancing logic. This reactive approach is particularly destructive: it often forces rebalances during market flushes, locking in realized impermanent loss (IL) at the exact worst possible price points. Our Solution: Signal-Driven Execution Our agent addresses these inefficiencies by integrating external orderflow data—specifically from Binance—to gain predictive insight into market movement. We use this data to perform two critical analytical functions: Trend Anticipation: Predicting SOL directional bias to center our liquidity range more accurately. Volatility Filtering: Distinguishing between genuine trend shifts and temporary, high-volatility capitulation flushes. This signal-driven approach directly informs the agent’s execution logic. It dictates where to center our range, how to calibrate tick widths, and—most importantly—when not to rebalance. By holding positions through short-term exhaustion moves rather than panic-selling or rebalancing into volatility, we avoid the 'bleeding' effect common to reactive strategies. Implementation with Condor We will leverage the Condor LP Executor framework to handle the lifecycle management of these positions. The Condor executors allow us to programmatically wrap our logic into dynamic management containers. This offloads the heavy lifting of position maintenance to the executor, ensuring the agent remains responsive to real-time signals while maintaining strict control over our LP architecture. The Performance Thesis Our objective is not to eliminate impermanent loss, as CL LP inherently carries IL by design. Instead, we optimize the Net P&L equation: (Fees - Realized IL - Gas Costs). Fee Capture: We stay in range longer by centering our liquidity based on orderflow rather than historical averages. IL Mitigation: We avoid realizing IL at suboptimal price points by deferring rebalances during volatility spikes. Backtesting demonstrates significant improvements in fee generation and uptime within our range compared to standard reactive models, with the greatest outperformance occurring during periods of high market volatility. While developed for SOL-based pairs, the framework is designed to be generalized across any volatile Orca pool, including RWA pairs.

I want to build an adaptive market making agent. The bot will provide two sided liquidity near the touch on liquid perp markets while dynamically controlling spread width, order size, and inventory skew based on real time volatility, directional pressure, and current position exposure. The strategy is a dynamic market maker rather than a static quoting bot. In calm conditions, it tightens spreads and increases participation to maximize fill rate and trading volume. In unstable or one sided conditions, it widens quotes, reduces size, and shifts into defense mode to avoid getting run over by adverse inventory. The agent also includes modest flow aware skewing, allowing it to lean with short term market pressure when conditions are favorable instead of blindly fading every move. The goal is to build a bot that stays active, protects capital, and earns both spread capture and leaderboard relevance over the full race window.

I want to build an autonomous trading agent centered around market regime detection and adaptive decision-making. The agent continuously monitors BTC and broader market conditions to identify shifts between trending, ranging, high-volatility, and reversal environments. Based on the detected regime, it dynamically adjusts its trading behavior, risk parameters, and execution logic instead of relying on a single static strategy. The core edge comes from combining regime detection with rebound and reversal identification. The agent is designed to detect exhaustion moves, oversold conditions, and rapid sentiment shifts, allowing it to capture rebounds and short-term opportunities with predefined take-profit and stop-loss levels. It prioritizes a high volume of trades and fast execution while maintaining disciplined risk management. By combining adaptive learning, regime-aware trading, and rebound-capture mechanisms, the agent can remain effective across changing market conditions without being locked into a single strategy.

A funding-aware inventory market-making agent for Hyperliquid perp, built on Condor's agent framework. Instead of one static PMM, it runs a fleet of PMM controllers across the most liquid perp pairs and reallocates capital toward whichever pair is paying the most realized PnL per unit of volume, reading Condor's 5-minute snapshots and get_custom_info to detect regime shifts and throttle exposure when a market turns trending. The edge is the funding leg: it biases inventory toward the side funding pays it to hold, earning spread and funding together while staying near delta-neutral.

I'm building a delta-neutral trading agent on Derive perpetuals that combines funding rate capture with options-informed positioning. The agent dynamically adjusts spread width and inventory limits based on real-time implied volatility from Derive's options markets, using the derive_perpetual connector. Key features: - Multi-collateral margin management across ETH, BTC, and USDC to maximize capital efficiency - Portfolio margin optimization: cross-position netting to reduce margin requirements and increase deployed capital - Options data integration: reads IV surface and skew to anticipate directional pressure before it hits perps - Adaptive market-making: widens spreads during vol spikes, tightens during low-vol regimes - Risk controls: max drawdown limits, position size caps, and automatic deleveraging What makes it unique: most perp market-makers ignore options signals. By incorporating Derive's native options data into a perps strategy, the agent can front-run volatility regime changes instead of reacting to them. The multi-collateral approach lets it hold positions in the assets it trades, reducing unnecessary conversions and improving capital efficiency.

I want to build a multi-factor order flow trading agent for BTC perpetual futures that combines Open Interest, Volume Delta, Liquidations, and Order Book Imbalance data into high-conviction Long and Short signals. The strategy works by scoring multiple market conditions simultaneously instead of relying on price action alone. Long signals are generated when Open Interest is increasing, aggressive buy-side Volume Delta is positive, short liquidations are accelerating, and the order book shows bullish imbalance with stronger bid-side liquidity. Short signals use the inverse conditions. The agent will use configurable weighting and threshold-based scoring so trades only execute when multiple institutional-flow signals align together. It will also integrate higher timeframe market structure and VWAP filters to avoid low-quality setups and reduce noise during sideways conditions. The system is designed for crypto perpetual futures markets, initially focused on BTC and ETH perpetuals on major derivatives exchanges. My goal is to build an adaptive, data-driven trading agent that detects real leverage-driven momentum and liquidity shifts in real time, while using strict risk management, dynamic position sizing, and automated execution through Condor.

I want to build a microstructure-driven trading agent for crypto perpetual markets. The agent will analyze order book data, liquidity zones, trade flow, imbalance, and short-term volatility to detect absorption, liquidity sweeps, and execution opportunities. The system combines high-performance data processing in Rust with a Python decision layer. Rust transforms raw market data into structured signals, while Python evaluates those signals to decide whether to enter, avoid trading, reduce exposure, or wait for better conditions. Within Condor, I want to adapt this into an autonomous agent that observes market conditions, generates microstructure signals, applies strict risk controls, and is tested through simulation or backtesting before live deployment.

FlowEdge Regime Adaptive Directional Trading Agent FlowEdge is a directional trading agent built on Hummingbot's V2 framework that adapts its behavior based on live market conditions. It trades crypto perpetual futures — primarily BTC-USDT, ETH-USDT, and SOL-USDT on exchanges like Binance Perpetual, Bybit Perpetual, and Hyperliquid. What it does: The agent uses two timeframes simultaneously. Fast 3-minute candles generate trading signals using Candle Flow Imbalance and VWAP deviation. Slow 15-minute candles classify the market regime using ADX into three states: ranging, trending, or extreme. Entries only fire when at least one timeframe confirms a trending regime otherwise the agent sits out entirely. When it does trade, it places three DCA maker limit orders at price levels that scale dynamically with NATR volatility. Calm markets get tight entries, volatile markets get wide entries. Stop-loss and take-profit scale the same way. What makes it unique: The agent has an embedded OODA loop — it tracks its own last 20 trades in a rolling window and adjusts its signal threshold automatically. If it starts losing, it tightens its entry criteria. If it's winning consistently, it loosens back. This self-adaptation runs every tick inside the controller with zero external dependencies no separate LLM process, no external API calls, no Redis or Kafka. It also reads live funding rates on perpetual pairs and applies a directional bias when positioning is crowded, and uses a gradual RSI dampener instead of a binary filter to preserve partial conviction on strong signals. The entire agent is a single self-contained Python file that inherits from DirectionalTradingControllerBase and uses DCAExecutorConfig with MAKER mode — the same proven pattern as dman_v3. No infrastructure setup needed beyond Hummingbot itself. Vision for the Builders Cup: For the hackathon, I plan to wrap FlowEdge Pro as a full Condor Trading Agent with an LLM-powered reasoning layer that can narrate regime changes, send Telegram alerts on state transitions, and accept natural-language parameter tuning commands. The execution layer is already production-ready the Condor wrapper adds the agentic intelligence on top.

It will dynamically switch strategies depending on whether markets are trending, ranging, or highly volatile. What makes this approach unique is the integration of: Risk-first architecture — capital preservation is built into every trade through dynamic stop-losses, portfolio exposure controls, and volatility-adjusted sizing. Cross-market intelligence — the system identifies correlations and arbitrage opportunities between crypto markets in real time. Explainable trading signals — every trade recommendation includes a human-readable explanation of why the position was entered, improving transparency and trust.

The agent is designed to detect exhaustion moves, oversold conditions, and rapid sentiment shifts, allowing it to capture rebounds and short-term opportunities with predefined take-profit and stop-loss levels. It prioritizes a high volume of trades and fast execution while maintaining disciplined risk management. By combining adaptive learning, regime-aware trading, and rebound-capture mechanisms, the agent can remain effective across changing market conditions without being locked into a single strategy.

A funding-aware perpetual market-making agent for Gate.io, built as a Condor agent on Hummingbot. It provides high-volume liquidity on top BTC/ETH/SOL-USDT perps, with quoting that adapts to real-time market and funding conditions rather than price risk alone. Disciplined inventory and risk controls keep exposure bounded through volatile and high-funding regimes, with the goal of robust risk-adjusted returns over a fully autonomous run. Built on a market-making engine already hardened through extensive live multi-pair testing.

Multi-Asset Trend Follower | GRVT Perpetuals | EMA+ATR+RSI
I am building a multi-asset trend-following agent on GRVT perpetuals, targeting TradFi and altcoin pairs (XAU, NVDA, TSLA, CL, BNB, DOGE, HYPE) to maximize GRVT airdrop point multipliers (3x TradFi, 2x alts) while generating directional alpha. The agent uses EMA50/200 trend filter, ATR-based volatility confirmation, and RSI entry timing on 15-minute candles. Risk is fixed at 1.5% per trade with dynamic position sizing. Exit logic uses Triple Barrier Method: ATR-based stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing stop to let winners run. Maximum 2 concurrent positions across uncorrelated sectors to control drawdown on a small account.

I want to build an advanced liquidity provision (LP) agent specifically for the Orca decentralized exchange, utilizing the Condor framework to automate and optimize range management. The Core Problem: Most Orca liquidity providers fail due to flawed range management strategies. They either deploy static ranges that quickly drift out of zone as market conditions evolve, or they employ reactive rebalancing logic. This reactive approach is particularly destructive: it often forces rebalances during market flushes, locking in realized impermanent loss (IL) at the exact worst possible price points. Our Solution: Signal-Driven Execution: Our agent addresses these inefficiencies by integrating external orderflow data—specifically from Binance—to gain predictive insight into market movement. We use this data to perform two critical analytical functions: Trend Anticipation: Predicting SOL directional bias to center our liquidity range more accurately. Volatility Filtering: Distinguishing between genuine trend shifts and temporary, high-volatility capitulation flushes. This signal-driven approach directly informs the agent’s execution logic. It dictates where to center our range, how to calibrate tick widths, and—most importantly—when not to rebalance. By holding positions through short-term exhaustion moves rather than panic-selling or rebalancing into volatility, we avoid the 'bleeding' effect common to reactive strategies. Implementation with Condor: We will leverage the Condor LP Executor framework to handle the lifecycle management of these positions. The Condor executors allow us to programmatically wrap our logic into dynamic management containers. This offloads the heavy lifting of position maintenance to the executor, ensuring the agent remains responsive to real-time signals while maintaining strict control over our LP architecture. The Performance Thesis: Our objective is not to eliminate impermanent loss, as CL LP inherently carries IL by design. Instead, we optimize the Net P&L equation: (Fees - Realized IL - Gas Costs). Fee Capture: We stay in range longer by centering our liquidity based on orderflow rather than historical averages. IL Mitigation: We avoid realizing IL at suboptimal price points by deferring rebalances during volatility spikes. Backtesting demonstrates significant improvements in fee generation and uptime within our range compared to standard reactive models, with the greatest outperformance occurring during periods of high market volatility. While developed for SOL-based pairs, the framework is designed to be generalized across any volatile Orca pool, including RWA pairs.

A funding-aware inventory market-making agent for Hyperliquid perp, built on Condor's agent framework. Instead of one static PMM, it runs a fleet of PMM controllers across the most liquid perp pairs and reallocates capital toward whichever pair is paying the most realized PnL per unit of volume, reading Condor's 5-minute snapshots and get_custom_info to detect regime shifts and throttle exposure when a market turns trending. The edge is the funding leg: it biases inventory toward the side funding pays it to hold, earning spread and funding together while staying near delta-neutral.

I'm building a delta-neutral trading agent on Derive perpetuals that combines funding rate capture with options-informed positioning. The agent dynamically adjusts spread width and inventory limits based on real-time implied volatility from Derive's options markets, using the derive_perpetual connector. Key features: - Multi-collateral margin management across ETH, BTC, and USDC to maximize capital efficiency - Portfolio margin optimization: cross-position netting to reduce margin requirements and increase deployed capital - Options data integration: reads IV surface and skew to anticipate directional pressure before it hits perps - Adaptive market-making: widens spreads during vol spikes, tightens during low-vol regimes - Risk controls: max drawdown limits, position size caps, and automatic deleveraging What makes it unique: most perp market-makers ignore options signals. By incorporating Derive's native options data into a perps strategy, the agent can front-run volatility regime changes instead of reacting to them. The multi-collateral approach lets it hold positions in the assets it trades, reducing unnecessary conversions and improving capital efficiency.

I want to build a multi-factor order flow trading agent for BTC perpetual futures that combines Open Interest, Volume Delta, Liquidations, and Order Book Imbalance data into high-conviction Long and Short signals. The strategy works by scoring multiple market conditions simultaneously instead of relying on price action alone. Long signals are generated when Open Interest is increasing, aggressive buy-side Volume Delta is positive, short liquidations are accelerating, and the order book shows bullish imbalance with stronger bid-side liquidity. Short signals use the inverse conditions. The agent will use configurable weighting and threshold-based scoring so trades only execute when multiple institutional-flow signals align together. It will also integrate higher timeframe market structure and VWAP filters to avoid low-quality setups and reduce noise during sideways conditions. The system is designed for crypto perpetual futures markets, initially focused on BTC and ETH perpetuals on major derivatives exchanges. My goal is to build an adaptive, data-driven trading agent that detects real leverage-driven momentum and liquidity shifts in real time, while using strict risk management, dynamic position sizing, and automated execution through Condor.

I want to build a microstructure-driven trading agent for crypto perpetual markets. The agent will analyze order book data, liquidity zones, trade flow, imbalance, and short-term volatility to detect absorption, liquidity sweeps, and execution opportunities. The system combines high-performance data processing in Rust with a Python decision layer. Rust transforms raw market data into structured signals, while Python evaluates those signals to decide whether to enter, avoid trading, reduce exposure, or wait for better conditions. Within Condor, I want to adapt this into an autonomous agent that observes market conditions, generates microstructure signals, applies strict risk controls, and is tested through simulation or backtesting before live deployment.

FlowEdge Regime Adaptive Directional Trading Agent FlowEdge is a directional trading agent built on Hummingbot's V2 framework that adapts its behavior based on live market conditions. It trades crypto perpetual futures — primarily BTC-USDT, ETH-USDT, and SOL-USDT on exchanges like Binance Perpetual, Bybit Perpetual, and Hyperliquid. What it does: The agent uses two timeframes simultaneously. Fast 3-minute candles generate trading signals using Candle Flow Imbalance and VWAP deviation. Slow 15-minute candles classify the market regime using ADX into three states: ranging, trending, or extreme. Entries only fire when at least one timeframe confirms a trending regime otherwise the agent sits out entirely. When it does trade, it places three DCA maker limit orders at price levels that scale dynamically with NATR volatility. Calm markets get tight entries, volatile markets get wide entries. Stop-loss and take-profit scale the same way. What makes it unique: The agent has an embedded OODA loop — it tracks its own last 20 trades in a rolling window and adjusts its signal threshold automatically. If it starts losing, it tightens its entry criteria. If it's winning consistently, it loosens back. This self-adaptation runs every tick inside the controller with zero external dependencies no separate LLM process, no external API calls, no Redis or Kafka. It also reads live funding rates on perpetual pairs and applies a directional bias when positioning is crowded, and uses a gradual RSI dampener instead of a binary filter to preserve partial conviction on strong signals. The entire agent is a single self-contained Python file that inherits from DirectionalTradingControllerBase and uses DCAExecutorConfig with MAKER mode — the same proven pattern as dman_v3. No infrastructure setup needed beyond Hummingbot itself. Vision for the Builders Cup: For the hackathon, I plan to wrap FlowEdge Pro as a full Condor Trading Agent with an LLM-powered reasoning layer that can narrate regime changes, send Telegram alerts on state transitions, and accept natural-language parameter tuning commands. The execution layer is already production-ready the Condor wrapper adds the agentic intelligence on top.

I'll build a trading agent that combines quantitative analysis, real-time market intelligence, and adaptive risk management to trade crypto, The agent will operate on Binance and Bybit. The strategy is a hybrid multi-factor system that combines: Trend-following models to capture medium- and long-term momentum, Mean reversion algorithms for short-term inefficiencies, The agent will analyze multiple data streams simultaneously, including price action, volatility, order-book imbalance, macroeconomic events, and sentiment signals. It will dynamically switch strategies depending on whether markets are trending, ranging, or highly volatile. What makes this approach unique is the integration of: Risk-first architecture — capital preservation is built into every trade through dynamic stop-losses, portfolio exposure controls, and volatility-adjusted sizing. Cross-market intelligence — the system identifies correlations and arbitrage opportunities between crypto markets in real time. Explainable trading signals — every trade recommendation includes a human-readable explanation of why the position was entered, improving transparency and trust.

I want to build a RSI based strategy where i will have a set of taken which i will going to watch and i will trade (short/long) when it reach 60-40 levels Strategy is very simple. Long when RSI close above 60 being over sold means coming out of 40 levels and for short exactly opposite. take short when it coming out of 60 and close below 40 on a given timeframe. for confirmation i am taking a next bigger time frame like if main time frame is 15m then i am taking 1h form confirmation so if its a long call then i check on confirmation time frame is it above 50 on snapshot not waiting for the candle close if short call then below 50. for Exit if its a long call i put the SL at the previous candle low and for Short Exit previous candle high

I want to build a market-making agent that provides liquidity on XRPL via XRPliquid. My strategy is called Delta Raptor which is an autonomous AI market maker that tracked the volume acceleration of 6 pairs on hourly basis thru a routine. The Agent will inspect the report of routine and then provide liquidity on the top 2 pairs that have the highest volume gained at last hour. Delta Raptor will also have a risk management feature called price band which will not allow order placement if the price suddenly drops or exceeds 2% from starting price. It will have an Auto Rebalancing feature that will trigger whenever an asset has 60% or more. To minimize LLM cost, Deepseek is implemented thru PydanticAI.
