# PROJECT: HYPE-PROFIT-ENGINE
## Status: PHASE 1 - ARCHITECTURE & DEPLOYMENT

### 1. GOAL
Transform the AI from a market-analyst to an autonomous trading operator on Hyperliquid, focusing on HYPE asset profitability.

### 2. TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE
- **Secure Layer**: Use native `secret-*` commands for Private Key storage (Zero-leakage).
- **Execution Layer**: `HypeTrader.js` (New) $\rightarrow$ uses `HyperliquidBridge` for data and `CurlModule` for signed order submission.
- **Logic Layer**: Strategy Engine (TBD) $\rightarrow$ interprets market data and generates trade signals.
- **Audit Layer**: `VFSAutomator` $\rightarrow$ logs every trade and PnL into `/trading_operations/logs/`.

### 3. IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP
- [x] **Phase 0: Connectivity** (CurlModule, HyperliquidBridge) - COMPLETE
- [x] **Phase 1: Infrastructure** (VFSAutomator, Skill-Synthesizer) - COMPLETE
- [ ] **Phase 2: Security** (Initialize `secret-set` for API keys) - PENDING
- [ ] **Phase 3: Logic** (Build `HypeTrader.js` & Strategy implementation) - PENDING
- [ ] **Phase 4: Live Execution** (First Trade $\rightarrow$ PnL Tracking) - PENDING

### 4. RISK MITIGATION
- Implementation of a "Hard Stop" logic: Automatic position closure if equity drops below X%.
- Order sizing limits to prevent catastrophic slippage.
- Separation of API keys from VFS files.
