HyperionX Knowledge Base
Use this site to install and operate HyperionX, understand trading and data boundaries, build Code Lab extensions, run research workflows, and collect diagnostics.
This documentation is audited against the HyperionX 1.1.10 source and packaged-release paths. A feature's presence in source code or a visible menu does not by itself make it production-ready; check Feature And Provider Status for the supported boundary.

Documentation status labels
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current | Implemented in the documented build and suitable for the stated use, subject to provider credentials and release certification notes. |
| Preview or Beta | Implemented in part, gated, or still carrying material workflow limitations. Validate in a non-live environment. |
| Internal | Exists for HyperionX implementation or development but is not a supported public contract. |
| Unavailable | A placeholder or internal surface that is not a usable public feature in this build. |
| Roadmap | Product direction, not a contract for the current desktop release. |
Task pages call out limitations that change the safe way to use a feature. Future direction is kept in Product Direction, separate from instructions for a shipped workflow.
Developer documentation
The Developer Center follows the same model as mature trading SDK documentation:
- A first working indicator.
- An extension-type catalog.
- Separate indicator, strategy, add-on, custom-bar, and research-module guides.
- Lifecycle, series, market-data, drawing, rendering, and order references.
- Build, reload, troubleshooting, and source-distribution workflows.
- Explicit Current, Preview, Internal, and unsupported boundaries.
Code Lab extensions run in the desktop process. Review imported source, protect secrets, and test order-capable code with an explicitly selected LocalPaper account.
Trading-risk boundary
HyperionX is execution-capable software. Historical results, simulation, AI output, and playback do not guarantee live behavior. Provider state is authoritative for externally routed orders, and a disconnect does not guarantee that working broker/exchange orders were cancelled.
Before live use:
- Verify the exact installed version and provider status.
- Verify the connection, external account, instrument, quantity, order type, and protection.
- Understand whether the action is one-click or requires confirmation.
- Reconcile orders and positions with the provider after any uncertain outcome.
- Keep exported logs and workspace files free of secrets before sharing them.
