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 necessary 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 will 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 0.035% per-trade platform fee through Hyperliquid’s builder fee mechanism.

   Note

   The approval is one-time, but the 0.035% 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 has six tabs across the top of the app. Each one is a dedicated workspace; you can move between them at any time without losing state.

Trade — Manual Trading

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

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

The Current Position card above the order form shows live PnL and adapts as you type — previewing your blended entry when you’re adding to a position, or projected realized PnL when you’re closing. The info panel at the bottom tracks open positions, open orders, fills and funding.

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 design algorithmic strategies on a visual canvas — no code required.

1. Open the Build tab
2. Drop indicator, entry, exit and protection nodes onto the canvas
3. Wire them together to express your trading logic
4. Hit Quick Test to backtest the current blueprint without leaving the canvas
5. Compile and save when you’re happy

Build supports 60+ indicators and multi-algorithm blueprints from one workspace. You can iterate on the canvas, version saved algos, and share strategies across Test and Run via the canonical algo ID.

Note

Backtest first, always. Use Quick Test on the canvas for fast iteration, then switch to the dedicated Test tab for cross-validation and parameter optimization before going live.

Algorithm building guide →

Test — Backtest & Optimize

Start here if… you’ve built an algorithm and want to validate it against historical data, sweep parameters, or run rolling cross-validation to detect overfit.

The Test workspace runs simulations with one click and surfaces equity curves, trade-by-trade detail, win/loss stats, and per-indicator contribution scores. Switch to the Optimize tab to sweep parameter spaces with Bayesian search, or to the Rolling-CV tab for out-of-sample validation across multiple time windows.

Backtest walkthrough →

Run — Live Deployment

Start here if… your strategy has passed backtesting and you want to deploy it live with a hard capital budget.

Run executes a compiled algorithm in real time against your wallet’s capital. Each Run has a hard Starting Capital cap (the algorithm can’t lose more than this notional × leverage), live state inspection, per-trade journaling, and Stop/Reverse controls. Start with a small Starting Capital, watch it for a few days, then relaunch larger once live execution matches your backtest.

Run walkthrough →

Portfolio

Start here if… you want an account-wide view across all your wallets — balances, open positions, fills, funding history, run-level PNL and aggregate stats. Trade-driven changes update in real time via WebSocket.

Referral

Start here if… you want to share Reversion and earn from referees. 20% commission on platform fees, paid out monthly to your wallet automatically.

Three AI Agents

Above the six tabs sit three AI agents:

• Research Agent — market research assistant for analyzing assets, comparing market structure, summarizing chart context, tracking narratives, and turning research into trade or strategy ideas.
• Algorithm Builder Agent — natural-language interface for the full Build → Test → Run lifecycle. 70+ tools. Use Reversion’s native agent inside the app or connect from Claude / OpenAI / Cursor / Windsurf via MCP.
• Auto-Trading Agent — autonomous discretionary trader with built-in risk management. Set your risk limits and connect an LLM API key; the agent watches markets, validates setups against chart context and news, executes trades, and manages positions. Two modes: copilot (you approve each trade) or full autonomy.

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.
