Getting started
New to Filo? These short guides walk you through setup end to end — connect, fund, and run your first strategy. No prior crypto experience needed.
1 What is Filo, in one minute Filo runs trades for you on Hyperliquid — copy a vetted trader, or run a Grid Bot. You keep custody; Filo only gets a trading key. 2 Connect to Hyperliquid (and authorise Filo) Two ways to connect: create a Filo wallet (easiest, no crypto experience needed) or connect your own wallet. Then authorise Filo to trade. 3 The builder fee, explained Filo earns a small per-trade fee charged by Hyperliquid (the "builder fee"), capped by what you approve. No subscription, no hidden cost. 4 Fund your account (Perp vs Spot) Deposit USDC to Hyperliquid. Copy trading uses your Perp balance; Grid Bot uses your Spot balance. Move funds between them inside Hyperliquid. 5 Start copy trading Pick a vetted trader, set how much to risk per trade, and turn it on. Filo mirrors their positions onto your account. 6 Start a Grid Bot A Grid Bot averages into a coin in steps as it dips and sells each step into strength. Set capital, steps, and triggers — Filo handles the rest. 7 Reading your dashboard Where to see positions and PnL, why a trade shows SKIPPED, and why buys can pause — so nothing on the screen is a mystery.
