Hyperliquid spot portfolio rebalancing explained

Targets describe your intended mix

A target weight is the share of portfolio value you want allocated to an asset. In a hypothetical $1,000 portfolio with a 60% HYPE target and a 40% USDC target, the intended values are $600 and $400. Price changes move those weights even if you make no trades.

If HYPE becomes 65% of the portfolio, the drift from its 60% target is five percentage points. That is different from saying its price rose 5%. Rebalancing trades toward a chosen allocation; it does not predict which asset will perform best.

What an hourly check does

Autopilot checks the portfolio hourly and uses a two-percentage-point drift threshold. A check does not guarantee a trade: balances, minimum order sizes, market availability and execution limits can prevent an adjustment.

An allocation can remain outside its target after an individual trade or check. Review the preview and current automation status rather than assuming every check restores an exact mix.

Account for costs and operational limits

Frequent adjustments can create fees and slippage. Small portfolios are particularly sensitive to minimum order sizes, while thin markets can make a quoted price difficult to execute. A rebalance also changes which assets you continue to hold during a trend.

Review the current setup and permissions before enabling automation. Trading permissions still carry financial risk even when they cannot withdraw assets. Understand how to pause the strategy and revoke its approval. Spot assets can lose value, and rebalancing does not protect the portfolio from market losses.
