With Automatic Collateral Management (ACM), your USDC automatically moves where it’s needed, so you can trade Spot markets instantly without moving funds. ### What is Unit Unit is Hyperliquid’s asset tokenization layer. Wick integrates Unit to make deposits, withdrawals, and spot trading simple. This brings a unified experience: on-ramp assets, trade spot, access USDC liquidity, and seamlessly move on to perps/HIP-3—without juggling accounts. ### How Spot Works in Wick * Unified balance via ACM**:** Your USDC is one pool. When you place a spot order, Wick allocates what’s needed automatically—no manual “move funds to spot” step * Direct ownership: You’re exchanging assets at spot; no expiry, no leverage. ### Placing a Spot Trade 1.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://wickdottrade.gitbook.io/wick/trading/spot.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
