The problem

Perp traders are spread across too many apps.

Accounts everywhere

Hyperliquid, Lighter, Arcus and more. Each one has its own app and its own balance.

No single number

Total exposure and P&L across venues lives in a spreadsheet, if anywhere.

Locked-in AI

Platform bots run the platform's model and can't see your other accounts.

Costly lessons

New strategies and AI agents usually get tested with real money.

Why now

Perps are moving on-chain.

The product

One terminal for your on-chain perp accounts.

Connect your accounts, see them side by side, bring your own AI and practice on PAPER before real money is at risk.

LIVE

Every venue, one terminal

597 perp markets across Hyperliquid (328), Lighter (210) and Arcus (59), counted in the command deck on 28 Sep 2026. Charts, book, tape and funding, with the venue named on every number.

BUILDING

One portfolio view

Total value, exposure and P&L across your accounts. Each venue's collateral stays in its own account. The total is a view across them, never one merged balance.

LIVE

Your own AI

Connect ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP agent from the Agents tab with a key you control. It can research, paper trade with simulated money and prepare trades you confirm. It never holds keys.

LIVE

Your data stays yours

Strategy drafts stay in your browser. Signed in, your PAPER history syncs to your NYTSHIFT account. No NYTSHIFT model reads your trades.

How it fits together

You and your AI

You have the final say. Your AI uses your model and your data.

A strategy moves through three modes with the same limits: PAPER, then APPROVAL, then LIVE.

Where that leaves us: venue apps cover one venue with their own tools. Bot platforms cover more markets but run their model on your data. AI assistants use your model but can't see your accounts or apply risk rules. NYTSHIFT is built to cover every venue, with your own AI and fixed guardrails.

Live on Hyperliquid

Trade Hyperliquid live from NYTSHIFT.

LIVE Hyperliquid perps, including stock, gold and oil markets, trade live from the terminal. Unlock once with a passkey, then place orders in one click. You can turn on a confirm step for every order if you prefer.

Orders go to Hyperliquid and rest there, including stop loss and take profit. AEGIS checks each order before it is sent.

Live trades use real funds and can lose money. Live trading needs an eligibility check and isn't available in every country.

Open the terminalCheck live status
AEGIS risk engine

Every order is checked twice.

LIVE AEGIS is our rules engine. It runs fixed checks when an order is built and again right before it is sent. AI can suggest a trade. Your rules and your click decide.

  • Data freshness
  • Leverage
  • Stop placement
  • Spread
  • Slippage
  • Margin
  • Exposure
  • Daily loss
  • Drawdown
  • Kill switch

If a venue doesn't confirm what happened to an order, NYTSHIFT checks with the venue before anything else. It never resends on its own.

PAPER

Practice on the real order book.

LIVE

PAPER trading

Trade live order-book depth with simulated money. No venue order is sent. Each fill pays a simulated fee; funding and liquidation costs aren't modelled yet.

LIVE

Strategy Studio and journal

Keep private versions of your method in your browser and review the decisions behind each rehearsal.

BUILDING

Stats and promotion

Win rate, drawdown and P&L for every strategy. Then move a proven one to APPROVAL and LIVE with the same limits.

PAPER credits BUILDING

Every trader starts with $1,000 of PAPER capital. When it runs out, a refill costs $10 per $1,000, less in bundles. Agents draw from the same balance.

PAPER credit packs at launch pricing
PackCapitalPricePer $1,000

Refill$1,000$10$10
Trader$5,000$40$8
Pro$25,000$150$6
Whale$100,000$500$5

Credits are practice balances. They have no cash value and can never be withdrawn. Results on PAPER don't guarantee live results.
