S&P Dow Jones Indices and trade[XYZ] have joined forces to launch the first official S&P 500 perpetual contract, available exclusively on Hyperliquid.
For 69 years, the S&P 500 has been a defining reference point for global finance. Until now, access to that benchmark has been shaped by market hours, intermediaries, and geography. Today, that changes.
The S&P 500 perp is now available 24/7/365, anchored by the official index data required for deep liquidity and institutional confidence at scale.
SPDJI helped define modern indexing. They are stewards of an iconic benchmark, the standard against which portfolios across the globe are measured. We are honored to bring that legacy on-chain.
Trade[XYZ] is bringing the world's most iconic assets towards a future of global, continuous markets — a future powered by Hyperliquid.
@TradeQuantiX@PKycek Been thinking on doing this on one of my strategies for QQQ, it does not have any hard stops based on price distance and sometimes the MR takes too long and the loss is could be too big. Any thoughts on using hard stops at % of the price for MR?

Lessons learned:
1. Did include new systems to quick with not enough margin, I need to assign more margin to each system.
2. My position sizing approach was way too aggressive.
3. Infrastructure problems (connexion, code errors, sytem not following exactly the backtest on live …) that should have been adressed earlier.
4. I need to be way more diversified using commodities.
The goal for now is to build new systems that can make my account more robust and start trading again on January 2026.

By the time I reseted positon sizing, profits were gone.
Stopped the account end of October; ironically, some systems are now recovering as volatility returns on NQ this last two weeks.
