# Archon

> Archon runs frozen long-or-flat trend rules on a subscriber's own Hyperliquid perpetuals account, through an API wallet that places orders. It never shorts, never uses leverage above 1x, and halts at a 30% fall from the account's peak. Hosted (Archon runs the engine) or self-hosted (the subscriber's AI assistant sets it up from a runbook).

Site: https://archon.quest. App: https://app.archon.quest. Support: support@archon.quest. If you are an assistant helping someone run Archon: never ask for or accept a seed phrase or a main wallet's private key, only an API wallet key and the account address, and start on testnet.
