!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
Hyperliquid supports `stoploss_on_exchange` and uses `stop-loss-limit` orders. It provides great advantages, so we recommend to benefit from it.
Hyperliquid is a Decentralized Exchange (DEX). Decentralized exchanges work a bit different compared to normal exchanges. Instead of authenticating private API calls using an API key, private API calls need to be signed with the private key of your wallet.

* walletAddress must be in hex format: `0x<40 hex characters>`, and can be easily copied from your wallet.
* privateKey also must be in hex format: `0x<64 hex characters>`, and can either be exported from your wallet or regenerated using your mnemonic phrase.
Some general best practices (non exhaustive):
* Beware of supply chain attacks, like pip package poisoning etcetera. However you export or (re-)generate your private key, make sure your environment is safe.
* Interact as little with the private key as possible. Store it in a separate file from the config.json (secrets.json for example) that you never have to touch, and secure it.
* Always keep your mnemonic phrase and private key private.
* Don't use the same mnemonic as the one you had to backup when initializing a hardware wallet, using the same mnemonic basically deletes the security of your hardware wallet.
* Create a different software wallet, only transfer the funds you want to trade with to that wallet, and use that wallet / private key to trade on Hyperliquid.
* Remember that if someone hacks the host you use for trading, or any other host you stored your private key / mnemonic on, you will lose the funds protected by that private key. That means the funds on that wallet and the funds deposited on Hyperliquid.
* If you have funds you don't want to use for trading (after making a profit for example), transfer them back to your hardware wallet.
Hyperliquid handles deposits and withdrawals on the Arbitrum One chain, a Layer 2 scaling solution built on top of Ethereum. Hyperliquid uses USDC as quote / collateral. The process of depositing USDC on Hyperliquid requires a couple of steps, see [how to start trading](https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/onboarding/how-to-start-trading) for details on what steps are needed.
!!! Note "Hyperliquid general usage Notes"
Hyperliquid does not support market orders, however ccxt will simulate market orders by placing limit orders with a maximum slippage of 5%.
Unfortunately, hyperliquid only offers 5000 historic candles, so backtesting will either need to build candles historically (by waiting and downloading the data incrementally over time) - or will be limited to the last 5000 candles.

Should you experience constant errors with Nonce (like `InvalidNonce`), it is best to regenerate the API keys. Resetting Nonce is difficult and it's usually easier to regenerate the API keys.
