Archon documentation
Archon runs frozen trend rules on your own Hyperliquid account. A rule holds a market while its trend is up and stands aside while it is not. Every few minutes Archon reads what your account holds, asks the rule what it should hold, and places orders for the difference. It never goes short, never uses leverage above 1x, and sells everything if the account falls 30% from its peak.
Your money stays in your Hyperliquid account. Archon is given an API wallet, a key that can place orders for the account, and never the wallet that can move funds.

Both run the same engine with the same rules. Both start on Hyperliquid’s testnet, with play money, before any real funds are involved.
The shortest path
Section titled “The shortest path”- Sign in to the app with your wallet and pay for early access.
- Connect Hyperliquid: create an API wallet on Hyperliquid’s testnet.
- Choose a rule. If you are unsure, start with Breadth Trend, the frozen rule.
- Watch it on the dashboard for a week. Then decide about real money.
Where things are
Section titled “Where things are”- Using Archon: the dashboard, controls for pausing and closing, billing.
- How it works: the engine in technical detail, the strategies and their evidence, safety and custody.
- Help: troubleshooting has an entry for every message Archon can show you. Then the FAQ and the glossary.
Stuck? Ask your AI assistant if you self-host; it can read these docs as plain text. Otherwise write to support@archon.quest with the time and the exact message you saw.
