How Trading Works In VYX
VYX trades where you read: the chart is the order ticket. Orders, stops, and targets are lines you place and drag on the price chart itself — there is no separate order screen to context-switch into. Everything starts in the built-in simulator, so you can practice the whole loop with zero money at risk; Hyperliquid testnet and live trading are deliberate, gated upgrades from there.
Order Entry On Desktop
Open the Trade panel (right inspector) and hit Trade on the focused symbol to open the order ticket. From the chart, right-click at any price — or hover the price axis and click the "+" — to buy or sell at market, rest a limit at that level, or set a price alert. Staged stops and targets appear as draggable lines; drag them to shape the trade, then Send. The one-hand trading hotkeys cover every frequent verb.
Order Entry On Mobile
Tap Trade in the chart header to open the execution strip, docked right under the chart so your stop and target lines stay visible while you work. The strip carries everything: Buy/Sell, market/limit/post-only, your live size and risk readout, R presets, one-tap SL and TP buttons, and Arm then Send. Long-press anywhere on the chart to summon the same order menu desktop gets on right-click — buy or sell at market, rest a limit at the pressed price, or set an alert. Opening the ticket automatically places a default protective stop as a draggable line, so your size is computed the moment you arrive — drag the line to put the stop where you want it.
- The Trade tab (bottom bar) holds your full book: open positions, resting orders, trade history, and the go-live connect.
- Stop, target, and entry lines are draggable by touch — grab the line label and move it.
- With a position open, the strip shows it live with one-tap Reverse and Flatten.
Risk-First Sizing
By default VYX sizes every order from your risk, not a notional guess: set a stop, and the engine solves the position size so that stop equals your chosen risk unit (0.5R, 1R, or 2R per trade). Size is always capped by the book's real liquidity and your total open heat, so one trade can never quietly exceed what the market or your limits can absorb. Prefer exact stakes? Switch the ticket to Manual and type a dollar or coin amount — it still runs through the same caps.
The Safety Model
Trading is opt-in and layered: the simulator is the default everywhere, and nothing fires until you arm the session. Live trading is non-custodial — you connect a Hyperliquid agent wallet that can trade but can never withdraw, and mainnet stays off until you explicitly enable it. Every mode is always labelled on the ticket, and emergency verbs (Flatten, Flatten all, Cancel) are one tap away on every platform.
