Strategy Library

A library of Hyperliquid strategies

Keel publishes a library of Hyperliquid strategy shapes you compose in the visual builder: funding-carry, trend-following, and dual-momentum. The published pages document the mechanism, universe, and parameter knobs so you can rebuild and tune them in the Keel app; productized one-click templates are on the roadmap.

How the library is organized

The library is a small set of documented strategy shapes: published parameters, defined universes, and a description of the underlying mechanism. Compose each one in the Keel app visual builder; productized one-click templates that auto-deploy are on the roadmap. The pages are reference designs, not click-to-run products — the assumption is you will fork the parameters and adapt the universe to your own risk preferences.

Documented strategy shapes

Preview pages on usekeel.io describe the strategy mechanism, the universe assumptions, and the parameter knobs. Productized one-click templates in the Keel app are on the roadmap; today, you build them yourself in the visual strategy builder (or scaffold from a template via the keel-trade CLI if you prefer code).

  • Funding Carry — long high-funding payers, short low-funding payers, gated by FundingLevelRegime so the carry leg only deploys size in rich-funding environments. The direct fit for HL's hourly funding cadence.
  • Trend Following — cross-sectional trend scoring across the HL perp universe with a vol-targeting overlay and a buffered rebalancer that only fires trades when drift exceeds a configurable band.
  • Dual Momentum — combines time-series momentum (own-asset trend) with cross-sectional momentum (relative rank), then aggregates to portfolio weights. A classic factor stack ported to the HL universe.

How to compose your own

The library is a starting point and a reference; the assumption is that you will eventually compose your own. The visual strategy builder in the Keel app is the primary path — drag components onto the canvas, wire signals, run the backtest in-app, share the tearsheet by URL. The 199-component library covers signal generation, regime gates, cross-sectional aggregation, vol targeting, and buffered rebalancing.

Driving Keel from a terminal or AI agent? The keel-trade CLI scaffolds and runs the same pipelines — install with pipx install keel-trade; the CLI reference covers strategy new, strategy validate, strategy create, and backtest run.

Library coverage

The library is small and deliberately curated. Three documented strategy shapes today — each with a full mechanism writeup, universe assumptions, and parameter knobs — rather than a long list of strategy names with thin pages behind them. The library expands as new shapes land and as existing shapes get promoted into productized one-click templates.

FAQ

Common questions

What does each strategy page contain?

A polished writeup on usekeel.io covering the strategy mechanism, the universe assumptions, the parameter knobs, and the diagnostics behind it. The page is a reference design — open the Keel app, compose the same pipeline in the visual builder (or fork a shared backtest of it), and tune the parameters. Productized one-click templates that auto-deploy are on the roadmap.

Can I run these strategies as-is?

Yes, with a few clicks. Funding-carry, trend-following, and dual-momentum are documented strategy shapes you compose in the Keel app strategy builder (or fork from a verified backtest share link). Once the strategy exists, it backtests in-app and deploys through Keel live trading after you connect a Hyperliquid account. Productized one-click templates are on the roadmap; today the published page is a reference design you build from.

How do I fork a strategy?

In the Keel app: open the strategy builder, start from the documented shape (or fork a shared backtest URL into your account), and tune parameters in the UI. Terminal and AI-agent users can scaffold the same shape locally with the keel-trade CLI via `keel strategy new my_strat --template <basic|momentum|multi_factor|carry>`, then push it to the platform.

What about strategies not in this library?

Compose them yourself from the 199-component library. The strategy builder in the Keel app walks through pipeline composition visually — drag components onto the canvas, wire signals, run the backtest in-app. The keel-trade CLI handles the same flow from a terminal for users who prefer code. The library is a starting point and a reference, not a constraint.
