Synthetic Position

Pear Protocol constructs synthetic positions on top of raw Hyperliquid positions. Each basket trade gets its own position with independent sizing, entry prices, PnL, and TP/SL, even when the underlying Hyperliquid account holds a single aggregated position per asset.

Synthetic Positions vs Hyperliquid Positions

Hyperliquid tracks one position per asset per account. Pear splits that into baskets.

Example: One Underlying, Three Baskets

Hyperliquid sees: 1.0 BTC long (single position, no basket concept)

Pear sees: 3 independent positions, each with own entry price, PnL, and TP/SL

Users can track performance per basket, set risk per basket, and close baskets independently.

How Fills Become Positions

After execution on Hyperliquid, each fill is processed against existing open positions: first closing exact-match inverse positions, then any partial matches, then merging into same-structure positions or creating new ones. Entry prices use weighted averages on merge.

Execution Flag (pear_execution_flag)

Every position carries a flag indicating where its fills originated:

PnL Discrepancy: Pear vs Hyperliquid

Pear calculates PnL at the basket level. Hyperliquid calculates at the asset level. Different entry price tracking → different displayed PnL until all related positions close.

Pear: each basket maintains its own entry price per asset.

pnl = direction × (exit_price − basket_entry_price) × size − fees

Hyperliquid: global weighted average entry across all trades of same asset. Any close uses this global average.

Example

User opens same asset long in four baskets:

Hyperliquid global average entry: 33.74

User closes only ASSET / SHORT-C at 34.298:

Neither is wrong, total PnL converges once all positions sharing that asset are fully closed.
