0.1 ETH order (0.1% pool):

Price Impact: ~0.05% ✅ Almost Invisible

Order 1 ETH (1% of the pool):

Price Impact: ~0.5% ✅ Acceptable

5 ETH order (5% pool):

Price Impact: ~2.5% ⚠️ Notable losses

Order 20 ETH (20% of the pool):

Price Impact: ~11% 🚫 Very expensive!

Order 50 ETH (50% of the pool):

Price Impact: ~33% 💀 Disaster

Example 2: Average Order – Notable Losses

Conditions:

Pair: ETH/USDC

Pool: 200 ETH × 700,000 USDC (Average)

Your order: 10 ETH (5% pool)

Expected Price: 3,500 USDC

Result:

Actual Avg. Price: 3,412 USDC

Price Impact: 2.5%

Losses: $880

Calculation:

Expected: 10 × 3,500 = $35,000

Received: 10 × 3,412 = $34,120

Loss: $880

Example 3: Large Order – Catastrophic Losses

Conditions:

Pair: ALT/USDC (altcoin)

Pool: 50 ETH equivalent (small)

Your order: 20 ETH equivalent (40% of the pool!)

Expected market price: $10 per token

Result:

Actual average price: $7.20 per token

Price Impact: 28%

Losses: $5,600!

Calculation:

Expected: 2,000 tokens × $10 = $20,000

Received: 2,000 tokens, but paid as $13 = $26,000

Effective Loss: $6,000

(Part is compensated if you sell it right away, but it's still impact!)

Example 4: Comparing DEX vs Aggregator

Same Order: 50 ETH → USDC

Strategy 2: Split a large order into several small ones

Essence: Instead of one large order, there are several small ones with pauses.

Example:

Bad – one order:

Sell 50 ETH at a time

Price Impact: 14%

Earned: $168,000

Good – five orders:

Order 1: 10 ETH, impact 2.5% = $34,125

Waiting for 5 minutes (arbitrageurs restored the price)

Order 2: 10 ETH, impact 2.5% = $34,125

Waiting 5 minutes

...

Order 5: 10 ETH, impact 2.5% = $34,125

Total: $170,625

SAVE: $2,625!

Optimal strategy:

Serving size: ≤3% of pool liquidity

Pause between: 3-10 minutes

Servings: Depends on urgency

When it does not work:

• • Very fast market (price will run away)
• • Urgent execution is needed
• • You create the trend yourself (others copy)

Strategy 3: Choose pools with deep liquidity

How to find:

Step 1: Check the TVL of the pool

Step 2: Compare Multiple Pools

There can be several pools for ETH/USDC:

• • Hyperswap: $5M TVL
• • Kittenswap: $2M TVL
• • HyperCore Spot: $20M+ (Order Book)

Choice: HyperCore Spot (Deepest Liquidity)

Step 3: Consider concentrated liquidity

Some pools (Uniswap V3 style) concentrate liquidity:

Regular Pool: Liquidity smeared across all prices

Concentrated: Liquidity is focused around the current price

Strategy 4: Trade during peak liquidity hours

Monitor the pool's TVL at different times:

Use analytical tools:

• • DeFiLlama – Time-based TVL
• • Dune Analytics - detailed statistics
• • Internal DEX Charts

Optimal time (usually):

Best: 14:00-18:00 UTC ✅

(crossing Europe and the USA)

Good: 08:00-14:00 UTC ⭐

(European session)

Avoid: 02:00-06:00 UTC 🚫

(minimum activity)

Exception: Asian tokens peak during Asian hours.

Strategy 5: Use Limit Orders (When Available)

On platforms with order books (HyperCore Spot):

Strategy:

1. 1. Check the current price: $3,500
2. 2. Place the limit slightly higher: $3,505
3. 3. Wait for the execution
4. 4. If it is not fulfilled in an hour, review it

When to use:

• • ✅ Hold your horses
• • ✅ Ready to wait
• • ✅ The market is not too volatile

When not to use:

• • ❌ Must be fulfilled now
• • ❌ Fast-moving market
• • ❌ Can run away price

Strategy 6: Avoid Exotic Couples

Rule: The more popular the pair, the lower the impact.

Liquidity levels of pairs:

Alternative strategy:

Instead of: SHIB → DOGE (Direct Pair, Low Liquidity)

Make: SHIB → USDC → DOGE (Two Hops but Less Impact!)

Aggregators (Hypertrade) do it automatically!

Strategy 7: Monitor impact before swapping

Never swap blindly!

What to check:

1. Price Impact indicator

2. Expected vs minimum comparison

Expected output: 100 tokens

Minimum received (with slippage): 98 tokens

Difference: 2%

If the difference is >5% → something is wrong!

3. Effective price

Market Price: $10/token

Your e.G. Price: $10.50/token

Overpayment: 5%

Is it acceptable to you? Work out.

Strategy 8: Use low-impact protocols

Different types of DEXs have different impacts:

Choosing on Hyperliquid:

1. 1. First Choice: HyperCore Spot (order book) for large orders
2. 2. Second Choice: Large AMM Pools
3. 3. Aggregator:Hypertradeautomatically chooses the best!

Sign 2: Impact is very different from slippage

That's all right:

Price Impact: 1.5%

Slippage tolerance: 2%

Difference: 0.5% (buffer)

Suspicious:

Price Impact: 0.5%

Slippage tolerance: 5%

Difference: 4.5% ← Why such a large buffer?

Possible causes:

- Highly volatile token

- Sniper bots are waiting for your transaction (MEV)

- Low liquidity is masked

Actions:

• • Reduce Order Size
• • Check the liquidity of the pool manually
• • Use MEV-protected RPC

Sign 3: Impact grows non-linearly as the sum increases

Quiz:

Deposit 1 ETH → Impact 0.5%

Enter 2 ETH → Impact 1.2% (must be ~1%)

Enter 5 ETH → Impact 4.5% (must be ~2.5%)

This means: The pool is too small!

Action:

• • Do not increase the order further
• • Look for a deeper pool
• • Use an aggregator

Sign 4: The minimum receipt is too different from the expected

Example:

Expected output: 100 tokens

Minimum received: 85 tokens

Difference: 15%!

Breakdown:

- Price Impact: 5%

- Slippage buffer: 10%

This means: High risk of additional losses!

Action:

• • Reduce slippage tolerance
• • If the transaction fails, this is protection!
• • Revise your strategy

Sign 5: Price impact on stablecoin pairs >0.5%

Red flag for USDC/USDT, DAI/USDC, and the like:

THAT'S ALL RIGHT:

$100k Impact: <0.1% ✅

SUSPICIOUS:

$10k Impact: 0.5% ⚠️

DANGER:

$10k Impact: >1% 🚫

What does this mean:

• • Pool Depegginut (one token deviated from $1)
• • Critically low liquidity
• • Possible protocol issues

Action:

• • DO NOT swap!
• • Check the token prices separately
• • Look for an alternative pool

Technique 2: Iceberg Orders

What it is: Show only part of the order in the market.

Mechanics:

Real Order: 100 ETH

Visible part: 10 ETH

When 10 ETH is turned → the next 10 ETH is shown

And so on...

The market doesn't see the full size!

Advantages:

• • Do not scare other participants
• • Less copying of your strategy
• • Reducing front-running

Availability:

• • Some order book DEX
• • Professional Platforms
• • Requires protocol support

Technique 3: Smart Order Routing

What doesHypertrade:

Technique 4: Sandwich Attack Protection

Problem: Sandwich attack

1. 1. You send a swap of 100 ETH → USDC
2. 2. The bot sees your transaction in the mempool
3. 3. The bot buys ETH in front of you (front-run)
4. 4. Your transaction is executed at a worse price
5. 5. The bot sells ETH after you (back-run)
6. 6. The bot takes the profit, you lose!

Protection:

Technique 5: Monitoring and Alerts

Set up the notification system:

Triggers:

Pool TVL drops >30% → ALERT

Price impact >5% → ALERT

Slippage tolerance exceeded → ALERT

Unusual volatility detected → ALERT

Tools:

• • Telegram bots
• • Discord webhooks
• • Email notifications
• • Custom Scripts

Example script (Python):

Copyif pool_tvl < previous_tvl * 0.7:
    send_telegram_alert("⚠️ TVL dropped 30%!")
    
if price_impact > 5:
    send_telegram_alert("🚫 High impact: " + str(price_impact) + "%")

If <3%: ✅ Excellent, minimum impact

If 3-5%: ⭐ Okay, acceptable impact

If 5-10%: ⚠️ Caution, noticeable impact

If >10%: 🚫 Dangerous, high impact!

For small orders (<$1k):

1. 1. Check the impact indicator
2. 2. If <1% → swap calmly
3. 3. Use Hypertrade for the Best Courses

For medium orders ($1k-$10k):

1. 1. Be sure to check the TVL of the pool
2. 2. Use an aggregator (Hypertrade)
3. 3. Check the impact: should be <2%
4. 4. If above → divide into 2-3 orders

For large orders ($10k+):

1. 1. Detailed liquidity analysis
2. 2. Be sure to use an aggregator
3. 3. Split into multiple orders
4. 4. Consider a TWAP strategy
5. 5. Monitor market conditions
6. 6. Check alternative pools/DEXs
