Insilico Terminal vs Senpi: work every order yourself, or have an AI agent run the strategy
Insilico Terminal and Senpi both trade Hyperliquid without taking custody of your money, and they sit at opposite ends of the job. Insilico is a free, professional execution terminal: you make every decision and it gives you the tools to place and work the order, with Chase, Swarm and TWAP orders, a depth-of-market ladder, a command line with hotkeys, and about 16 exchanges in one screen. Its Cortex engine keeps conditional orders and long TWAPs running on its servers while you are away, but it only runs the orders you set. Senpi is an AI trading agent: you describe a strategy, approve the rules, and the agent runs them 24/7 on Hyperliquid with a stop attached.
The honest split: Senpi wins where you want the trading done for you, strategies that run around the clock, copying a trader you choose, a ratcheting stop on every strategy built from a rule or a template and optional halts, and an agent you can reach from Claude or ChatGPT. Insilico wins on manual execution, on reach across exchanges and Hyperliquid’s newer markets, and on price for most traders: the terminal is free and its Hyperliquid builder fee is 1 bp. Many active traders could use both.
TL;DR

What Insilico Terminal is built for
A pro execution toolkit
Chase and Stalk, Swarm, TWAP with jitter and price bounds, Scale and basket orders, a depth-of-market ladder, and a command line with programmable hotkeys and Stream Deck support.
Many exchanges in one screen
About 16 venues, from Hyperliquid, Binance, Bybit and OKX to Kraken, Bitget and Lighter, with Multi Mode linking charts, order panels and positions across accounts.
Broad Hyperliquid coverage
Perps and spot, HIP-3 markets, HIP-4 outcome markets, vaults and sub-accounts, with Cortex running conditional orders and long TWAPs on Hyperliquid while you are away.
Free, with a 1 bp builder fee
No subscription, paid tier or token. On Hyperliquid perps it adds 0.01% to Hyperliquid’s own fee, among the lowest builder fees of the Hyperliquid front ends we have measured.
A terminal you drive, or an agent that drives
The first divide: who makes the trading decisions.
| Criterion | Insilico Terminal | Senpi |
|---|---|---|
| What the product does | Puts your orders into the market precisely, across accounts and exchanges | Researches Hyperliquid, writes a strategy from your description, shows you the rules, then runs it and reports what it did |
| Who sends the orders | You, by click, hotkey or command line | The agent’s hosted runtime, inside the rules you approved, 24/7; you can also tell it to open, adjust or close |
| When you are away | Cortex keeps your conditional orders and TWAPs running on Insilico’s servers; without it, in-browser algorithms such as Chase and TWAP stop when you close the terminal, while orders already resting on the exchange stay | Strategies keep trading and exiting on their own rules |
| From Claude or ChatGPT | Not available | Senpi Connectors: research, build, run or close strategies |
Senpi's edge here
Insilico is an instrument for a trader at the controls, and Cortex keeps your own orders alive when you step away. Deciding what to trade and managing the position are still yours. Senpi takes those jobs on: you approve the rules once, and the agent runs and protects the strategy.
Working an order by hand
If you place your own orders, the tools matter.
| Criterion | Insilico Terminal | Senpi |
|---|---|---|
| Order types | Limit, market, stop, Chase and Stalk, Swarm, TWAP with jitter and price bounds, Scale and Scale Side, baskets, TWAP Chase and Bump from the command line | Market orders, or maker-first limit orders that fall back to market after a timeout you control; take-profit and stop-loss set as a percentage of margin |
| Interface | Point-and-click, DOM, TradingView and its own charts, command line, programmable hotkeys, Stream Deck | Plain-language instructions in the app, in Claude or ChatGPT, or on the Companion |
| Multiple accounts | Multi Mode links charts, order panels and positions across accounts and exchanges | Each strategy trades from its own strategy wallet |
Winner: Insilico Terminal
For a trader who works orders by hand, Insilico’s toolkit is one of the deepest available: algorithmic order types, a ladder, hotkeys and a command line. Senpi isn’t built for that; it places orders for the strategy, maker-first where it can.
Following traders, and protection once live
What happens after you decide to act on an idea or a wallet.
| Criterion | Insilico Terminal | Senpi |
|---|---|---|
| Copying a trader | Not available | Mirror a trader you choose, after the agent researches their record on whole-book profit, margin, drawdown, timing and fee load |
| Exits | Take-profit and stop-loss on most order types; Cortex can close on price, candle or time triggers | DSL on every strategy built from a rule or a template: a stop that ratchets up and never loosens; copy strategies carry at most a flat stop |
| Limits | A maximum order size setting; sizing from the stop distance on the order ticket; no daily-loss or drawdown limit found | Cooldowns and optional daily-loss and drawdown halts per strategy |
| Reading other traders | Not available; a news feed of X posts with one-click buy and sell | Senpi Signals and Quant Desk on any Hyperliquid address, plus alerts on any wallet you add |
Senpi's edge here
Insilico gives a disciplined trader precise exit orders and a guard against oversized orders. Senpi adds the parts a terminal leaves to you: following a trader with limits, a stop that tightens as the trade gains, and halts that work without you watching. No stop can guarantee a fill at its trigger price.
Markets and cost
Where each one trades and what a month of Hyperliquid perps costs.
| Criterion | Insilico Terminal | Senpi |
|---|---|---|
| Markets | About 16 venues; on Hyperliquid, perps, spot, HIP-3 markets, HIP-4 outcome markets, vaults and sub-accounts | Hyperliquid perps: crypto plus the XYZ DEX stocks, pre-IPO names, metals, indices and FX |
| Price model | Free; a 1 bp builder fee on Hyperliquid perps on top of Hyperliquid’s fee | Pro $50, Advanced $100, Quant $200 a month; 0% Senpi trading fee |
| Cost of $150K a month of Hyperliquid perps | $15 in builder fees (0.01%) | $50 on Pro, whatever the volume |
Evenly matched
Insilico reaches more markets and is cheaper for most traders: at 1 bp, its builder fee only passes Senpi’s $50 Pro plan above about $500,000 of Hyperliquid volume a month. Senpi’s price buys the agent, the hosted strategies and the protection, which Insilico doesn’t offer at any price.
Where Senpi is stronger
An agent that runs the strategy
Approve the rules once and the agent runs them 24/7 on a hosted runtime, from the app or from Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Grok Bot, Hermes and Muse, with a growing library of strategy templates to start from.
Copy a trader, with limits
Mirror a trader you choose after the agent researches their record, sized as a multiple of their positions that you set.
Protection that works without you
DSL, a stop that ratchets up as the trade gains, on every strategy built from a rule or a template, with cooldowns and optional daily-loss and drawdown halts per strategy.
A read on other traders
Senpi Signals and Quant Desk score proven wallets and any Hyperliquid address, and the Companion brings them to X, TradingView and the exchanges you read.
Which should you choose?
Choose Insilico Terminal if
- You want to place and work every order yourself, with Chase, Swarm, TWAP and hotkeys
- You trade on several exchanges, or Hyperliquid spot, HIP-3 or outcome markets, from one screen
- You want a lower cost and don’t need an agent
Choose Senpi if
- You want an agent that runs your Hyperliquid strategy 24/7 inside rules you approve
- You want to copy a trader you choose, after it researches their record, with limits
- You want DSL on every strategy built from a rule or a template and to trade from Claude, ChatGPT or Grok
Conclusion
Insilico Terminal is built for the trader at the controls: algorithmic order types, a ladder, hotkeys and a command line across about 16 exchanges, Cortex to keep your own orders working while you are away, and broad Hyperliquid coverage, for free plus a 1 bp builder fee.
Senpi is the operator. It writes a strategy from a sentence, runs it 24/7, follows a trader you choose, exits through DSL on every strategy built from a rule or a template and takes instructions inside Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Grok Bot, Hermes and Muse. It costs more than Insilico for most traders, and it does the work Insilico leaves to you.
Use Insilico if you want to trade by hand with the best tools; use Senpi if you want the strategy run and protected for you. Both are non-custodial on Hyperliquid, so many traders can use both.
Frequently asked questions

What is Insilico Terminal?
A free web-based execution terminal for crypto traders, running since 2021. It offers Chase, Swarm, TWAP, Scale and basket orders, a depth-of-market ladder, a command line with hotkeys and Multi Mode for several accounts, across about 16 venues including Hyperliquid, Binance, Bybit, OKX and Coinbase.
Is Insilico Terminal free?
Yes, it charges no subscription. Insilico says it earns from brokerage deals with exchanges, and on Hyperliquid it adds a builder fee of 1 bp (0.01%) on perps, which we measured at 0.998 bp over the 30 days to Nov 10, 2026, and 0.5% on HIP-4 outcome markets.
Does Insilico Terminal support Hyperliquid?
Yes. Perps and spot since April 2024, HIP-3 markets such as trade[XYZ]’s stocks and commodities since October 2025, and HIP-4 outcome markets since mid-2026, plus vaults and sub-accounts. You connect with a browser wallet, which signs the builder fee once, or by adding an agent wallet’s key.
Can Insilico Terminal trade automatically?
Partly. Cortex runs conditional orders with up to five triggers and long TWAPs on Insilico’s servers while you are away. It runs the orders you set; it doesn’t pick, size or manage trades. Senpi’s agent runs whole strategies inside rules you approve.
Does Insilico Terminal have copy trading?
No. Insilico has no copy trading or wallet tracking. Senpi mirrors a trader you choose, after the agent researches their record on profit, margin, drawdown, timing and fee load.
Where does Insilico Terminal keep my API keys?
In your browser’s local storage by default, decrypted only to sign. You can sync them to Insilico’s servers, encrypted with AWS KMS, and Cortex needs them synced to place orders server-side. Senpi’s agent holds no keys.
Can I use Insilico Terminal and Senpi together?
Yes. Both are non-custodial and trade on Hyperliquid. A common split is Insilico for working orders by hand and Senpi to run strategies, copy a trader you choose and protect positions while you are away.
Can I run Senpi from Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. Senpi Connectors put your Senpi agent inside Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Grok Bot, Hermes and Muse: you ask it to research a market, build or edit a strategy, review a wallet or close a position, and it does it on Hyperliquid without you opening the app.
What is DSL?
Senpi’s dynamic stop loss: a stop attached to each position in a strategy Senpi runs, which ratchets up as the trade gains and never loosens, so a winner gives back only part of its gain before it closes. No stop can guarantee a fill at its trigger price.
