UPDATE: The new release is available now. If auto-update doesn't work, please download a fresh copy of the installer and do a clean install. Read more about how to add the IP addresses to your whitelist.

Dear valued customers,

We are excited to announce the upcoming release of HyperTrader's latest update v2.32.0. This is a mandatory update and we urge you to upgrade to the latest version as older versions will stop working.

This new update is designed to provide our users with enhanced security features. We have implemented two major changes that we believe will make a significant impact in securing your account.

Firstly, we have introduced IP whitelisting. This change is for your own protection and will require you to whitelist our static IPs in order to continue using HyperTrader going forward. If you have already whitelisted your API with your local IP, please note that this will need to change. We will be providing 30 static IPs that you will need to add to your API for whitelisting. This change only applies to Binance & Bybit for both spot and derivatives APIs. Kraken will not be affected by this update.

The second major change is the implementation of a new encryption method for API keys. This new encryption method will improve the security of your API keys and make it more difficult for them to be compromised.

We understand that these changes may cause some inconvenience, but we strongly believe that they are necessary to provide our users with a more secure trading experience. We encourage all our users to upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or require any assistance with this process, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always here to help.

Thank you for choosing HyperTrader. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to provide you with the best possible trading experience.

Sincerely,

HyperTrader Team

HyperTrader is not a broker or exchange. We do not provide any brokerage or advisory services. HyperTrader provides tools for trading, and any loss due to the use of the tools is the users’ responsibility.

Conditional orders have increased risk due to their reliance on trigger processing, market data, and other internal and external systems like an exchange. Such orders are not sent to the market until specified conditions are met. During that time, system outages with downstream technologies or exchanges may occur. Furthermore, exchanges may impose controls on conditional orders to limit erroneous trades triggering downstream orders. HyperTrader or its subsidiaries may not always be aware of such changes to external controls immediately, leading to some conditional orders not being executed. As such, you need to monitor your conditional orders for reasonability. Conditional orders are “Not Held” orders whose execution instructions are on a best-efforts basis upon being triggered.

Furthermore, conditional orders may be subject to the increased risks of stop orders and market orders outlined above. Given the increased potential risk of using conditional orders, you agree that HyperTrader and its subsidiaries cannot be held responsible for losses, damages, or missed opportunity costs associated with market data problems, systems issues, and user errors, among other factors. By using conditional orders, you understand and accept the risks outlined above.

You should know that using or granting any third-party access to your account information or placing transactions in your account at your direction is solely at your risk. HyperTrader does not warrant against loss of use or any direct, indirect, or consequential damages or losses to you caused by your assent expressed or implied, to a third party accessing your account or information, including access provided through any other third-party apps, systems, or sites.

All investments involve risk, and the past performance of a security or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Keep in mind that while diversification may help spread risk, it does not assure a profit, or protect against the loss, in a down market. There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities or other financial products. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing.

Cryptocurrency is highly speculative in nature, and involves a high degree of risks, such as volatile market price swings, market manipulation, flash crashes, and cybersecurity risks. Cryptocurrency is not regulated or is lightly regulated in most countries. Cryptocurrency trading can lead to significant, immediate, and permanent loss of financial value. You should have appropriate knowledge and experience before engaging in cryptocurrency trading.
