Terms, risk and privacy

Last updated 25 October 2026

Risk warning

Trading crypto-assets and crypto derivatives is risky. Prices move fast, and you can lose all the money you put in, more quickly with leverage. Backtests and paper results describe the past on simulated fills; they are not a promise of future results. Many popular strategies lose money after fees.

Terms of use

• Wicky is software for building, testing and simulating trading rules. During the beta, everything runs on paper money only. Wicky does not hold, move or manage anyone's funds.
• Nothing on Wicky is investment advice or a personal recommendation. The leaderboard, profiles and the helper show simulated results and explain general concepts.
• Market data comes from Hyperliquid's public API. We try to keep the simulator accurate (signals on the candle close, fills at the next open, 0.045% fee per trade, no leverage), but we can't guarantee it is error-free or always available.
• Be decent: no impersonation, no offensive usernames or pictures. We may remove profiles that break this.
• Live trading is not offered yet. When it opens, it will not be available to US persons, and in other countries only where the rules allow.
• You use Wicky at your own risk. To the extent the law allows, Wicky is not liable for losses from using the software or its results.

Privacy

• Your profile is public: the name, @username and picture you choose, and your paper bots and their results, appear on the leaderboard and your profile page. Don't use your real name if you'd rather not.
• Sign-in with Google or email is handled by Google Firebase. Your email address is used only to sign you in and reset your password; it is never shown on Wicky.
• Until sign-in opens, profiles and bots are stored only in your own browser (localStorage). Clearing your browser data deletes them.
• If you join the waitlist, we receive the email address and the optional note you send, through the form service FormSubmit, and use them only to tell you about Wicky.
• Your browser talks directly to Hyperliquid's public API to load prices and public wallet data. Wallet addresses you look up are public on-chain data.
• Ask us any time to delete your profile and data: wickyapp@proton.me
