Ten targets, one position
When setting up a bot, the user allocates 100% of the position across ten TP levels. These are not ten new positions: each percentage describes the portion the bot would try to close if that price target is reached. The allocation must total 100%, and each level must receive at least 5%.
The initial size depends on assigned capital, the position percentage in Standard mode or the internal allocation in Vault mode, and the selected leverage. See how the two capital modes change that base.
What does the USDC amount beside a TP represent?
It is the approximate notional value of the portion to be closed at that TP's target price. It is not expected profit, money held in a separate account or a guaranteed payout. Ten amounts can differ even when some allocation percentages match: target prices differ, and the asset's permitted size increments can affect rounding.
As an arithmetic illustration only, a 600 USDC notional position with 10% allocated to one TP starts at roughly 60 USDC of notional at entry price. Its value at the target may be higher or lower depending on direction and distance. The portal recalculates the estimate from the specific asset and configuration.
The configuration shows one conservative amount per TP: the lower estimate of the LONG and SHORT scenarios. It does not mean both directions will execute. A live trade only uses the direction that was actually opened.
Why is there a safety minimum?
Hyperliquid may reject perpetual orders below 10 USDC notional. LionLabs checks for 10.1 USDC per TP at its target price, including the asset's rounding in the preview, to leave a 0.10 USDC buffer. If the smallest TP falls short, the portal blocks that configuration from activation and identifies the limiting level.
This pre-check cannot guarantee order acceptance. At entry, the system checks the actual rounded sizes and prices again and can skip an entry if the real orders do not meet the exchange's conditions. Raising capital or leverage changes risk and should not be done solely to pass a technical threshold.
The 10 USDC floor is described in Hyperliquid's order error documentation. The 10.1 USDC pre-check is a LionLabs safeguard, not an exchange requirement.
Why can the final amount differ?
The preview uses an available price and the asset's supported size increments. Between preview and placement, entry price, size and price rounding, available balance and actual filled position can change. Execution, fees, funding and slippage also influence financial results; none of these turn the displayed notional into profit.
Review allocation, capital and leverage before activating. Once a bot is live, inspect its actual orders and position rather than the marks of a historical simulation.
Frequently asked questions
If a TP shows 20 USDC, will I earn 20 USDC?
No. It estimates the notional value of the portion to be closed. Profit or loss depends on entry and exit prices, costs and execution conditions.
Why is there no separate LONG and SHORT amount?
Before a position opens, LionLabs shows one conservative figure per level to avoid presenting two alternative scenarios as simultaneous orders. A live position has only its actual direction.
Does the minimum prevent losses?
No. It only helps avoid orders that are too small for the exchange. It does not cap market losses or liquidation risk.
Understand the capital base
The selected mode determines which capital LionLabs uses to size a bot. Compare both approaches without assuming either is right for everyone.
