Ratchet Stop: Automatic Position Protection
Updated Jul 7, 2026 · 1 min read
How Senpi's Ratchet Stop protects your positions automatically — loss protection, profit trailing, and staying protected even if your agent is offline.
Ratchet Stop is Senpi's automatic exit engine. It protects every open position with a trailing stop that only moves in your favor — and you don't have to configure anything.
Two phases
- Loss protection
- watches each position against a dynamic floor and closes it if the trade goes against you.
- Profit trailing
- once a position is in profit, the floor ratchets up to lock in gains as the price climbs — and only moves up, never down.
Protected even when offline
Once a position is trailing, protection runs on Senpi's backend using real-time prices and places actual stop-loss orders on Hyperliquid. Your positions stay protected even if your agent isn't actively running — with no gap in coverage.
Who does what
Option A
Your agent — entries
- Decides what to trade and when
- Opens positions on your strategy
Option B
Ratchet Stop — exits
- Handles all exits
- Loss protection + profit trailing
- Lets a winner keep running
VerdictYour agent decides when to enter; Ratchet Stop decides when to exit.
Want to check a specific position? Just ask your agent "are my positions protected?" for a per-position read — more reliable than eyeballing a list.
