Execution Model
How trades execute in Klovr today, and how funded execution is designed to work in the Klovr Proptocol.
Current status
Klovr has two execution models: simulated execution for private alpha, and A-Book funded execution for the roadmap.
Private alpha is simulated. No real capital is traded, no user deposits are accepted, and no withdrawals exist.
Funded accounts are the next execution layer: real A-Book execution on Hyperliquid, with non-custodial account control and protocol-enforced settlement.
Execution at a glance
Simulated alpha execution
During private alpha, trades are simulated by Klovr's trading engine.
When a trader submits an order, Klovr reads live Hyperliquid market data, validates the order, simulates the fill, applies fees, updates account equity, and writes the result to the ledger.
No real order is sent to Hyperliquid during simulated alpha.
Alpha order flow
- 1Trader submits order
The order is sent to Klovr's trading engine.
- 2Price is checked
Klovr reads the latest live market data.
- 3Safety checks run
Size, precision, symbol, notional, margin, and risk checks are validated.
- 4Fill is simulated
The trade is filled by the engine using the current market data.
- 5Fee is applied
Simulated trading fees are included in account equity.
- 6Ledger updates
Orders, fills, fees, equity updates, and rule events are recorded.
- 7Risk engine evaluates
The account may pass, continue, or breach based on the challenge rules.
Price integrity
Klovr does not guess when price data is stale.
If market data is too old or unavailable, the system rejects or pauses orders instead of filling them against uncertain prices.
This matters because the execution model should be predictable, explainable, and fair. Uncertainty should not become a trade.
What simulated means
Simulated execution means the alpha environment is not A-Book and not B-Book.
Klovr alpha is a simulation against live market data. There is no real-money counterparty and Klovr is not trading against alpha users.
A-Book funded execution
Funded accounts are designed to execute A-Book on Hyperliquid.
That means funded trades are intended to route to Hyperliquid's real order book. Klovr does not take the other side of funded trader positions, does not invent execution prices, and does not operate a hidden dealing desk.
Trustless funded execution
The funded-account roadmap separates trading authority from withdrawal authority.
A trader should be able to place trades inside defined risk limits, while neither the trader nor Klovr Labs can move funds outside the protocol rules.
Klovr has validated the core non-custodial execution architecture on Hyperliquid mainnet in a controlled test. The public funded product still requires production implementation, security review, and legal review before launch.
Why this matters
Traditional prop firms ask traders to trust the firm's private execution, internal balances, and payout process.
What we do not publish
Klovr public docs explain the execution guarantees without exposing sensitive implementation details.
We do not publish low-level contract mechanics, signer architecture, key-management details, settlement internals, or production risk formulas before the system is hardened and reviewed.
Status boundary
A-Book execution, non-custodial funded accounts, and trustless settlement are roadmap features of the Klovr Proptocol.
