 * walletAddress must be in hex format: `0x<40 hex characters>`, and can be easily copied from your wallet.
 * privateKey also must be in hex format: `0x<64 hex characters>`, and can either be exported from your wallet or regenerated using your mnemonic phrase.
 Some general best practices (non exhaustive):
 * Beware of supply chain attacks, like pip package poisoning etcetera. However you export or (re-)generate your private key, make sure your environment is safe.
 * Interact as little with the private key as possible. Store it in a separate file from the config.json (secrets.json for example) that you never have to touch, and secure it.
 * Always keep your mnemonic phrase and private key private.
 * Don't use the same mnemonic as the one you had to backup when initializing a hardware wallet, using the same mnemonic basically deletes the security of your hardware wallet.
 * Create a different software wallet, only transfer the funds you want to trade with to that wallet, and use that wallet / private key to trade on Hyperliquid.
 * Remember that if someone hacks the host you use for trading, or any other host you stored your private key / mnemonic on, you will lose the funds protected by that private key. That means the funds on that wallet and the funds deposited on Hyperliquid.
 * If you have funds you don't want to use for trading (after making a profit for example), transfer them back to your hardware wallet.
 Hyperliquid handles deposits and withdrawals on the Arbitrum One chain, a Layer 2 scaling solution built on top of Ethereum. Hyperliquid uses USDC as quote / collateral. The process of depositing USDC on Hyperliquid requires a couple of steps, see [how to start trading](https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/onboarding/how-to-start-trading) for details on what steps are needed.
 !!! Note "Hyperliquid general usage Notes"
    Hyperliquid does not support market orders, however ccxt will simulate market orders by placing limit orders with a maximum slippage of 5%.  
    Unfortunately, hyperliquid only offers 5000 historic candles, so backtesting will either need to build candles historically (by waiting and downloading the data incrementally over time) - or will be limited to the last 5000 candles.

 Should you experience constant errors with Nonce (like `InvalidNonce`), it is best to regenerate the API keys. Resetting Nonce is difficult and it's usually easier to regenerate the API keys.
