Sign Up

Five minutes from now you’ll be trading on-chain perpetuals. This guide walks you through connecting your wallet, funding your account and making the neccessary approvals to begin trading on Reversion.

1. Connect Your Wallet

   Open reversion.trade and click the wallet button in the top-right corner.

   Pick your wallet from the list — we support:

   • MetaMask
   • Rabby
   • Phantom

   Approve the connection when your wallet prompts you.

   

   Caution

   Don’t see your wallet? If you’re on a network other than Arbitrum, your wallet automatically switch to arbitrum. Make sure you’re using an EVM-compatible wallet.

2. Sign In

   After connecting, you’ll see a Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) prompt. Sign the message to authenticate — this never shares your private keys.

   

   Danger

   Never share your wallet’s private keys or recovery phrase with anyone. Reversion will never ask for them. The SIWE prompt only signs a message — it does not give the platform access to your funds or keys.

   On your first sign-in, the platform automatically:

   1. Creates your Reversion account
   2. Generates an API wallet — a separate keypair for executing trades on Hyperliquid
   3. Prompts you to approve the API wallet on Hyperliquid

   Note

   The API wallet is managed by the platform. Your personal wallet’s private keys are never exposed. You can revoke the API wallet at any time from Settings.

3. Approve the API Wallet

   You’ll be prompted to approve the API wallet on Hyperliquid. This links the platform’s trade execution wallet to your account so it can place orders on your behalf.

   

4. Approve Platform Fees

   Next, you’ll approve the platform fee — a one-time on-chain approval that authorizes a 0.1% per-trade platform fee through Hyperliquid’s builder fee mechanism.

   Note

   The approval is one-time, but the 0.1% fee applies to every trade. See Fees & Costs for the full breakdown.

   Caution

   Stuck on an approval step? There are multiple wallet prompts during first sign-in: the SIWE signature, the API wallet approval, and the builder fee approval. Check your wallet for a pending prompt.

5. Deposit Funds

   Click the Deposit button in the header to add USDC to your Hyperliquid trading account.

   

   Deposits use the official Hyperliquid bridge from Arbitrum to Hyperliquid mainnet. Funds show up in your account and are ready to trade immediately after the deposit transaction has confirmed.

   Need to move funds out? Use the Withdraw or Transfer options in the same menu.

   Note

   First time depositing? Start with a small amount to confirm the flow works end-to-end before sizing up. You can always deposit more later.

   Caution

   Make sure you have USDC on Arbitrum. The bridge only supports USDC on the Arbitrum network. If your USDC is on another chain, bridge it to Arbitrum first using a service like Jumper or the Arbitrum Bridge.

6. AI Credits (Optional)

   If you plan to use the Auto-Trading Agent, you’ll need AI credits to cover the cost of LLM API calls that power the agent’s market analysis, chart reading, and trade decisions.

   Purchase a credit bundle from the AI Credits section in the header:

   Bundle	Credits
   Starter	$20
   Standard	$50
   Pro	$100
   Power	$500

   Credits are consumed as the agent runs — each market analysis, chart read, and trade decision uses a small amount. Your remaining balance is always visible in the header.

   Note

   AI credits are only needed for the Auto-Trading Agent. Manual trading, algorithm building, backtesting, and the Algorithm Agent (MCP) don’t consume AI credits — the MCP agent uses your own API key.

   Note

   Start with the $20 bundle to try the agent out. You can always top up later. Credits don’t expire.

Choose Your Mode

Reversion is organized around the same workflow you use as a trader: Trade, Build, Test, then Run. Start with the mode that matches what you want to do right now.

Trade — Manual Trading

Start here if… you want to place trades yourself using a full-featured trading terminal.

1. Select a market from the chart header (e.g., BTC/USDC)
2. Set your leverage and margin mode
3. Choose an order type — market, limit, stop loss, take profit, or TWAP
4. Enter your size, pick buy or sell, and confirm

Your positions, open orders, and trade history appear in the info panel at the bottom.

Note

New to perps? Start with a small position on BTC/USDC or ETH/USDC to get familiar with the interface before exploring smaller markets.

Build — Algorithm Builder

Start here if… you want to automate your strategy with visual, rule-based algorithms — no code required.

1. Open Build mode from the header
2. Create a new algorithm
3. Define entry/exit conditions using indicators (RSI, Bollinger Bands, MACD, and more)
4. Configure position sizing, stop loss, and take profit
5. Test against historical data to validate your edge
6. Run live when you’re confident

Note

Backtest first, always. Run your algorithm against at least 30 days of historical data before going live. It only takes a few seconds.

Algorithm building guide →

Test — Backtesting and Optimization

Start here after building… you want to validate a saved algorithm before live execution.

1. Select an algorithm
2. Choose the symbol, date range, capital, leverage, and trade limit
3. Click Run Backtest
4. Review the summary, trades, trade detail, chart markers, and equity curve
5. Switch to Optimize to run rolling cross-validation and check robustness

Note

Test workspace draft edits stay local to the test run. You can tune entry, exit, sizing, and reset behavior without changing the saved strategy until you’re ready.

Test guide →

Run — Live Algorithm Execution

Start here after testing… you want to run a validated algorithm in the live market.

1. Select or create a run wallet
2. Fund the wallet
3. Select your algorithm
4. Set live capital, symbol, leverage, trade limit, and optional session/reset rules
5. Complete wallet approvals if prompted
6. Click Start Run

Caution

Start small. Live trading includes real fills, latency, funding, fees, and slippage. Confirm live behavior before increasing capital.

Run guide →

Agent — AI Trading

Start here if… you want an AI agent to watch markets, execute trades, and manage positions autonomously — or you want to use natural language to build algorithms via MCP.

Reversion has two agents, both built into the web app and both connectable via MCP/API:

• Auto-Trading Agent — set your risk limits, connect an LLM API key (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok), and the agent watches markets, analyzes charts, and trades autonomously with mandatory stop losses and position sizing derived from your risk settings. Run in copilot mode (you approve trades) or full autonomy.
• Algorithm Agent (MCP) — 60+ tools for building algorithms, backtesting, optimization, and trading through natural language. Connect from Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible app.

Note

New to AI trading? Start with the Auto-Trading Agent in Copilot mode — watch how the agent evaluates setups and approve each trade before it executes.
