About this guide: I'm Lawrence, the writer behind supa.is. Between February and May 2026 I've published 150+ articles on supa.is across crypto and brokerage tooling — including 80+ Hyperliquid-specific guides (recent examples: Hyperliquid Chase Order Setup Guide, Hyperliquid Order Types Explained, Hyperliquid First Trade Pending Fix). The most-repeated reader question across that Hyperliquid archive is exactly why the chase-order option is missing from the Pro dropdown, which is why I'm publishing this standardized guide instead of answering one-off.
Referral terms: The Hyperliquid referral link offers a 4% fee discount on the first $25M of volume per account (as of 2026-08, per Hyperliquid fees documentation). Vaults and sub-accounts are excluded from that discount.
If the chase-order choice is missing from the Hyperliquid Pro dropdown, the order engine is probably not broken. More often, the interface state, market, order panel, or account permissions are hiding the option. The official Hyperliquid order-type documentation is the best place to check what the platform supports, while the Hyperliquid announcement page is useful for confirming whether a recent product change affected the UI.
This guide focuses on the practical fix path: confirm that chase orders are the right order type, check the interface state, verify the market and order panel, and then use the correct account and browser setup. It is written for Hyperliquid users who already have an account and want to place chase orders without guessing why the option is missing.
What "chase order" means in the Hyperliquid context
A chase order is not a generic "try again" button. It is an order type that helps you manage an order when market conditions move away from your intended entry or exit. In practice, traders use chase-style logic when they want to avoid leaving a passive order stranded at a price that no longer makes sense, or when they want to adjust the order as the market moves.
The key point is that chase orders are an order-type feature, not a standalone tab. That means the option may appear only when the interface is in the right mode, the market supports the order type, and your account can place that kind of order. If you are looking for it in the wrong panel, it can be easy to conclude that the feature is missing.
For Hyperliquid, the safest reference is the official order-types documentation. It defines the order types available in the trading interface and explains how they fit into the platform's trading model. If the dropdown you are using does not show the expected option, the first question should be: am I in the correct order-type section?
Why the Pro dropdown may not show the chase option
There are several common reasons the chase-order option may not appear. None of them require you to assume the feature is broken.
1. You are in the wrong order panel
The Pro interface has multiple order-related controls. If you are looking at a simple limit-order box, a market-order box, or a reduced panel, the full order-type dropdown may not be visible. The chase option may only appear when the interface is expanded into the full order-entry view.
Switch to the Pro or advanced trading layout, then open the order panel again. A compact view can hide the full order-type selector, so do not assume the option is missing until you check the expanded panel.
2. The market does not support that order type
Not every market behaves the same way. Some markets may support a broader set of order types, while others may have restrictions based on liquidity, contract type, or product rules. If you are trading a less liquid market, the interface may not expose every order type that is available elsewhere.
Test the same order panel on a highly liquid Hyperliquid perpetual. If the chase option appears there but not on your original market, the issue is market-specific rather than account-wide.
3. The interface is in a state that hides advanced options
Sometimes the UI collapses advanced controls after a failed action, a partial load, or a session change. This can happen after a refresh, a network interruption, or a wallet reconnection. The dropdown may still be there, but the interface may not have rendered it correctly.
Reload the page, reconnect your wallet if needed, and reopen the order panel. If the option still does not appear, clear browser cache or try a different browser.
4. Your account does not have the required access
Some order types may require specific account permissions or account states. If your account is restricted, if you are using a sub-account, or if the interface is showing a limited view, the chase option may not be available.
Confirm that you are logged into the correct account and that the account has trading access. If you are using a sub-account, check whether the parent account has granted the necessary permissions.
How to check whether chase orders are available on your account
Compare what the interface shows against what the official documentation says. The Hyperliquid order-types page is the first-party source for what the platform supports. If the documentation lists chase orders as an available order type, then the missing dropdown is likely an interface or account issue rather than a product removal.
Start by opening the official order-types documentation: Hyperliquid Order Types. Confirm that chase orders are listed as a supported order type. Then open the Hyperliquid trading interface and check the Pro order panel. If the option is not visible, use the fix path below.
Troubleshooting checklist for a missing chase-order dropdown
The following is a diagnostic checklist, not a prescriptive trading workflow. Each item is a check you can run independently to isolate whether the missing option is caused by interface state, market selection, or account access. Work through them in order; stop as soon as the option reappears.
| # | Check | What to look for | If it fails |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Interface mode | You are in the Pro or advanced view, not the compact layout | Switch to Pro view |
| 2 | Market selection | You are on a highly liquid perpetual (e.g., BTC or ETH) | Switch to a major perp and re-check |
| 3 | Panel expansion | The order panel is fully expanded, not collapsed | Expand the panel fully |
| 4 | Dropdown state | The order-type selector is open and the chase option is listed | Reload page, reconnect wallet |
| 5 | Browser state | No cached UI corruption or extension interference | Try a different browser or private window |
| 6 | Account access | You are on the correct account with full trading permissions | Verify account type and permissions |
What to do if the option still does not appear
If you have checked the interface, the market, the browser, and the account, and the chase option is still missing, the next step is to check for a recent product change. The Hyperliquid announcement page is the best place to see whether the team has changed how order types are displayed.

Start on Hyperliquid with a 4% fee discount on the first $25M of volume →Check the official announcement: Hyperliquid Announcement. If the announcement describes a UI change, a feature update, or a temporary issue, use that as the source of truth. If there is no relevant announcement, the issue is likely account-specific or market-specific.
In that case, the safest next step is to contact Hyperliquid support with the following details:
- The exact market you are trading
- The browser and device you are using
- The account type you are using (main account or sub-account)
- A screenshot of the order panel showing the missing dropdown
- The time of the issue in UTC
Common mistakes that make the dropdown seem missing
Mistake 1: Looking in the wrong panel
Many traders look for the chase option in the simple limit-order box. That box may not show the full order-type dropdown. You need the expanded Pro order panel.
Mistake 2: Assuming the feature is broken
A missing dropdown is usually an interface or account issue, not a broken order engine. Before contacting support, check the interface state, the market, and the account.
Mistake 3: Using a restricted sub-account
Sub-accounts may have limited permissions. If you are using a sub-account, confirm that the parent account has granted the necessary trading access.
Mistake 4: Ignoring browser cache
Browser cache and local storage can sometimes cause UI elements to fail to render. Clearing cache or using a different browser can fix the issue.
How this relates to other Hyperliquid order types
Chase orders are one part of a larger order-type system. If you are new to Hyperliquid order types, it helps to understand how they fit together. The official documentation explains the different order types and how they are used in the trading interface.
If you are still getting confused by the order panel, start with the basics. The Hyperliquid Order Types Explained guide covers the core order types and how they work. If you are placing your first trade, the Hyperliquid First Trade Pending Fix guide can help you understand why an order may not fill as expected.
For a deeper look at how chase orders are set up, the Hyperliquid Chase Order Setup Guide is the best companion to this troubleshooting guide.
When to use chase orders and when not to
Chase orders are useful when you want to manage an order as market conditions change. They are not a magic solution for every trading scenario. If your strategy relies on passive limit orders, chase orders may not be the right tool. If your strategy requires aggressive entry or exit, chase orders may help you avoid leaving an order stranded.
Match the order type to your strategy. If you are unsure, start with a simple limit order on a liquid market and confirm that the interface behaves as expected before moving to more advanced order types.
FAQ
Why is the chase-order option missing from the Pro dropdown?
It may be missing because you are in the wrong interface state, the market does not support the order type, or your account does not have the required access. Check the Pro panel, test a liquid market, and confirm account permissions.
Does Hyperliquid still support chase orders?
The official order-types documentation is the source of truth. If chase orders are listed there, the feature is supported. If the dropdown is missing, the issue is likely interface-specific or account-specific.
Should I contact Hyperliquid support if the option is missing?
Yes, if you have checked the interface, market, browser, and account and the option is still missing. Include the market, browser, account type, and a screenshot of the order panel.
Can sub-accounts use chase orders?
Sub-accounts may have limited permissions. Confirm that the parent account has granted the necessary trading access before expecting all order types to be available.
Is this a trading strategy guide?
No. This is a troubleshooting guide for a missing UI option. It does not provide trading advice or a step-by-step trading workflow.
