What Tarvis is

Tarvis runs trading strategies on your own exchange account. You choose a strategy and how much risk to take. Tarvis watches the market around the clock, places and manages the orders, and shows every trade in your dashboard.

Three things stay true on every plan:

  • Your money stays on your account. Tarvis never receives your funds.
  • The key we hold can only trade. It can place and cancel orders. It cannot withdraw. See The trade-only key.
  • Nothing to install. Strategies run on our servers, so they keep working when your computer is off.

How a trade happens

  1. 1
    Market data
    Prices, volume and positioning for each coin
  2. 2
    Strategy decides
    Its rules look for a setup
  3. 3
    Risk limits
    Your size and exposure limits apply
  4. 4
    Order on your account
    Sent with your trade-only key
  5. 5
    Recorded
    Position, result and reason appear in the dashboard

You do not approve each trade. You set the rules once: which style runs on which account, and how much of the balance it may use. You can restrict or stop trading at any moment. See Positions.

Start in five steps

  1. Create an account and start a plan

    Sign up with email or Google, then pick a plan. Investor and Trader have a 14-day free trial when you start with a card.

  2. Try it on paper

    A paper account trades a simulated $10,000 on real prices. It needs no key and no deposit, so it is the safe first step.

  3. Fund Hyperliquid

    When you are ready for real money, send USDC to Hyperliquid. The minimum for a live account is $100.

  4. Connect your account

    Create a trade-only key on Hyperliquid and paste it into Tarvis. It takes a few minutes.

  5. Pick a style and press Start

    Choose a trading style, check the risk settings, then press Start on the Accounts page.

we can trade, never withdraw

Tarvis provides software tools that execute strategies you select and configure on your own exchange account via a trade-only key. It is not investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and Tarvis does not take custody of, manage, or exercise discretion over your money — you make all trading and allocation decisions and can stop the platform at any time. Trading crypto assets and derivatives involves substantial risk, including the total loss of capital; no strategy is guaranteed and past or hypothetical performance is not indicative of future results. Tarvis is not available where prohibited by law, and you are solely responsible for determining your eligibility to use it and any exchange in your jurisdiction.
