Hyperliquid trading journal: fills, hourly funding and clean R

Last checked: 8 October 2026. Exchange menus, fees and rules change, so confirm on the exchange’s own site before you rely on them.

Journaling Hyperliquid is different in three ways. There is no account statement, because there is no account in the usual sense: everything is tied to a wallet address and is public on-chain. Funding is hourly, so it adds up faster than you expect. And the direction column uses words like "Open Long" and "Close Short" rather than buy and sell, which most journal importers do not understand without a small fix.

Getting your history out

From the app

Open your portfolio and the Trade History tab. Use Export as CSV. The file has time, market, direction, price, size, fee and closed P&L for each fill. Deposits and withdrawals have their own CSV export. Funding History shows every hourly payment. Hyperliquid’s docs point to third-party tools for older history, so if your export stops short, use the API.

From the API

Send a POST request to https://api.hyperliquid.xyz/info. No key is needed, only your public address.

{"type": "userFillsByTime", "user": "0xYourAddress", "startTime": 1735689600000}
{"type": "userFunding",     "user": "0xYourAddress", "startTime": 1735689600000}

• userFills returns up to your 2,000 most recent fills.
• userFillsByTime returns up to 2,000 per response from a start time. Page through by using the last timestamp as the next start. Only your 10,000 most recent fills are reachable this way, so export regularly if you trade often.
• userFunding returns each funding payment with the coin, the USDC amount, your position size and the rate.

Each fill includes coin, px, sz, side, time, dir, closedPnl, fee, feeToken and more. Spot fills show the coin as an index such as @107 rather than a name, so map those to symbols before importing.

Turning direction into buy and sell

The journal pairs fills into trades when every row has a buy or sell side. Hyperliquid’s direction column needs one simple translation:

Add a Side column with those values, rename market to Symbol, size to Quantity, and keep Price, Fee and Time. The generic CSV mapper then reads it as a fill export and pairs opens and closes first in, first out. Positions still open show as open.

Hourly funding adds up

Hyperliquid charges funding every hour at one eighth of the computed 8-hour rate, capped at 4% an hour. The daily cost is the same as an 8-hour exchange at the same rate, but it starts the moment you hold, and it never waits for a fixed time you can avoid.

Hyperliquid’s base-tier fees are 0.015% maker and 0.045% taker on perps, and 0.040% maker and 0.070% taker on spot.

Privacy and multiple wallets

Because your trades are public by address, many traders use more than one wallet. Treat each wallet as its own account in the journal, named so you know which is which. If you use a vault or sub-account, export it with its own address.

In the RB Trading journal

• Import the fixed CSV through the generic mapper. Opens and closes become trades with exact prices and fees.
• Add funding from Funding History or userFunding to the swap field on each trade, so net R is real.
• Set a custom cost preset for the account, for example 0.045% per side and your typical funding rate, for trades you log by hand.
• Add your stop to each trade. On-chain fills record what happened, never what you planned, and R needs the plan.

There is no live sync with Hyperliquid. History comes in by file. The journal does not connect to your wallet.
