Watches: an agent that keeps an eye on the market

A chat assistant normally speaks only when it is spoken to; a watch lets it keep looking after you have closed the page.

A watch is a condition that you ask the assistant to monitor. The server checks every active watch every 20 seconds. When the condition becomes true, the watch triggers once and then ends. You choose in advance what should happen at that moment: you can simply be notified, or the assistant can prepare a proposal.

What a watch can look at

Four kinds of condition are supported: a Hyperliquid price, a funding rate, the profit or loss of one of your positions, and the price of a pool on Elysium. For example, you can ask to be told when a funding rate crosses a level, or when a pool price falls below a number you care about.

Still your decision

A watch that prepares a proposal does not execute anything. The proposal appears for you to review and has to be approved in your wallet, like every other proposal in the app. It expires after 10 minutes, so if you are away when it appears it lapses and nothing happens. If you enabled the optional Agent Wallet, playbooks built on watches can execute on their own, but only within the caps you set. Your own wallet key is never held by the app.

Deliberate limits

Each wallet can have at most 10 active watches, and every watch lasts 7 days at most. Both limits keep the checking work small and stop forgotten conditions from piling up. If you still want a condition after a watch has triggered or expired, you set it again.

Why it matters

Markets move when nobody is looking. A watch moves the job of staring at a chart to the server, and keeps the decision, and the signature, with you. The app runs on testnet only, so the feature can be tried without risking real funds.
