Hyperliquid Carry Trade Screener

Apify Actor that scans Hyperliquid perp markets and ranks funding/carry opportunities by net APR, liquidity, mark/oracle premium, and risk.

Why this Actor exists

Most funding tools return raw rates. This Actor is built to be decision-ready:

• Converts hourly funding to annualized APR.
• Estimates net APR after a configurable round-trip fee/slippage assumption.
• Scores markets by open interest, 24h volume, mark/oracle premium, asset risk, and funding strength.
• Optionally fetches 24h funding history to label persistence and funding reversals.
• Labels each market as consider, watch, or avoid.
• Outputs warnings such as thin liquidity, premium distortion, inconsistent funding, and extreme/transient APR.
• Charges only for returned opportunity rows when pay-per-event monetization is enabled; the summary row is uncharged.

This is a screening tool, not financial advice.
