An account on the exchange above, and a USDC balance — a stablecoin worth about one dollar. Hyperliquid trades from a crypto wallet you control, so there is no application to wait on.
No. Size a position at 1x and it moves dollar for dollar with WTI crude oil. Higher leverage multiplies the move in both directions and can have the position closed automatically if the price runs against you; the exchange shows that liquidation price before you confirm the order, and the minimum size is small enough to test with.
Because these exchanges never close. News lands at all hours and the weekend market prices it in straight away, while the benchmark market waits until it reopens.
Different products, different markets. These contracts have their own buyers and sellers, so the price can sit slightly either side of the reference. Check which product and which timestamp you are comparing.

West Texas Intermediate is the main U.S. oil benchmark: light, sweet crude delivered at Cushing, Oklahoma, and priced through NYMEX futures per barrel. It is the number quoted in most U.S. headlines about "the oil price."
NYMEX crude futures trade nearly around the clock on weekdays but close for the weekend — which is exactly when supply headlines like OPEC decisions or geopolitical events often land. The price here is a 24/7 WTI-linked contract that keeps pricing that news; it is not an official NYMEX settlement.
