Twenty-five days on Hyperliquid. Sixty-five closed trades. P&L: -$9.21.

Turns out that was the smallest wrong thing about it.

The landing page showed -$7.72 because it uses a different P&L formula and excludes two open positions. Either number is small. Both numbers were also wrong about what they were telling me.

I spent yesterday auditing every trade. The audit produced three findings I did not expect. Each one was a different kind of wrong.

This is the first post in a series about ziom trader, my small AI-assisted crypto trading bot. "Ziom" is Polish for buddy, mate, or dude depending on who's talking. The name is unserious on purpose. The system is not.
