Trading Autopilot
Trading Autopilot is Minara’s fully managed mode for perpetual trading.
Within the asset scope you authorize, Autopilot can open new positions, take over eligible existing positions, place and maintain stop-loss / take-profit orders, apply trailing risk control, and enforce global safeguards, while keeping all actions observable and reviewable in logs.
What Autopilot Does
When Autopilot is running, it can perform the following on your behalf, within your authorized trading scope and risk settings:
Open positions automatically
Manage positions (including positions you already have, when eligible)
Place take-profit and stop-loss orders, and update stop-loss as market conditions change
Reverse positions when market conditions reverse
Apply global risk controls (e.g., maximum drawdown)
Exit and notify you when safety conditions are triggered
Autopilot is built around three principles:
Every automated action is visible and explainable
Users can override any time
Any manual action that conflicts with AI execution is treated as a deliberate override and handled explicitly in-product
How to Access
Path: Trade → Perps → Autopilot
Copilot Mode
Switch to Autopilot
Autopilot Turned On
Minara plan subscribers can switch between Copilot and Autopilot mode and run Autopilot. Autopilot is not yet open to free users.
If a user's subscription expires while Autopilot is already running, they can keep viewing and operating the Autopilot panel. However, they won't be able to start Autopilot without resuming their subscription.
Before you start
Minimum available funds
Autopilot requires at least $50 in available funds (available for Autopilot to trade) to operate.
Available Funds = Perps Wallet Equity − Occupied Funds
Occupied Funds = Autopilot margin in use + (if any) worst-case estimated loss of eligible user positions
Worst-case estimated loss is calculated based on the stop-loss trigger price, including estimated slippage and fees.
If there are no open positions in your perps account, all equity is fully available for Autopilot to allocate into new positions.
If you hold an existing position, the stop-loss-bounded risk of the existing position is treated as already “reserved,” and only the remaining equity can be used to size new positions.
For now, direct deposit to perps wallet is not yet supported. Users will need to deposit USDC into their spot wallet, then transfer funds into perps wallet before they start Autopilot.
Margin mode & position requirements
Autopilot requires cross margin for all managed assets. When Autopilot starts:
Any isolated margin position blocks starting.
Any position outside the strategy trading scope blocks starting.
e.g. If the current strategy applies only to BTC, ETH, and SOL, but the user holds an existing position in HYPE, Autopilot cannot be started until that position is closed.
Setup Flow
First-time enablement
On your first enablement:
Autopilot checks eligibility and minimum funds
You configure the Trading Scope (assets you authorize Autopilot to manage)
You confirm risk settings and start Autopilot
Within the trading scope, If you already have a cross position on any asset, the asset must be managed by Autopilot and cannot be unselected.
All existing open orders will be canceled when Autopilot starts.
Subsequent enablement
On later enablement attempts, Autopilot reuses your last configuration (scope and risk settings) and starts immediately when funding checks pass. If all assets you previously managed are no longer in the current manageable scope, Autopilot asks you to re-confirm trading scope before starting.
Strategy and Trading scope
Each strategy comes with a preset trading scope that defines the assets to which the strategy applies.
Assets are divided into tiers, which determine leverage limits, margin allocation, and execution priority when multiple entry signals occur simultaneously.
BTC is defined as a Tier-1 asset. ETH and SOL are Tier-2 assets. All other assets are assigned lower priority tiers.
When multiple assets trigger entry signals at the same time and the account supports fewer concurrent positions than available signals, Autopilot opens positions according to asset priority order.
Position Management
Autopilot places take-profit and stop-loss orders whenever a position is opened, following predefined rules, and trails the stop-loss when conditions allow.
If Autopilot detects rapid changes in technical indicators, it may close the position at market price to reduce losses or protect profits, rather than waiting for the stop-loss order to be triggered.
When conditions are met, Autopilot may close the original position at market price and open a new position in the opposite direction. The size of the new position is calculated using the same logic as other newly opened positions.
Manual Actions
Autopilot treats manual intervention as an intentional override and asks you how to proceed.
Removing an asset from management
If you remove an asset from Autopilot scope, Autopilot will not perform further actions on the asset.
However:
If there is only one managed asset left, it cannot be removed
If there is an active position on the asset, it cannot be removed.
Transferring funds out of Perps Wallet
Transferring funds out of perps wallet will stop Autopilot automatically.
Transferring funds into perps wallet will not stop Autopilot from running; incoming funds increase Autopilot's Available to Trade amount.
Manual management on positions
User may close the positions at any time.
User cannot cancel the TP/SL open orders when Autopilot is active.
Safety Exits
Autopilot can stop automatically under the following conditions:
Maximum drawdown limit reached
If the user enabled a maximum drawdown limit and it is triggered:
All Autopilot-managed positions will be closed at market price
All pending Autopilot orders will be canceled
Autopilot stops and sends an email notification
Account equity falls below minimum
If perps account equity falls to ≤ $5:
All Autopilot-managed positions will be closed at market price
All pending Autopilot orders will be canceled
Autopilot stops and sends an email notification
Risk and control notes
Autopilot is built to enforce trading discipline with mandatory TP/SL and trailing stop-loss updates, while leaving you with control over starting, stopping, position management, and the scope you authorize.
However, please note that perpetual perpetual trading involves significant market risk. Autopilot does not eliminate market risk and does not guarantee profits.
