To over-emphasize divine sovereignty is the key. Where you stand on that issue slides you up or down the scale.
God has decreed to justify us from all eternity, but some hypers say that God actually has given us eternal justification (instead of decreeing to do so from eternity past but actually doing so in time). This appears to be a key mark of hyperism.

Which? The sovereign decree to justify or the accomplishment of justification by Christ? Which is the key mark of a "hyper" view? I do not understand.
God did indeed sovereignly decree to justify His elect before creation, and it is by His sovereign grace that all the elect are justified by the cross work of His Son.
Is that not the gospel message?
So I question why faith placed in either the decree (covenant promise) or the cross (covenant performance) would ever be considered "hyper."

God has decreed from all eternity to justify us - but this justification occurs in time.
Some hypers place this justification actually from all eternity, thus denying that we were ever children of wrath, even as others.

I think he is talking about how hyper Calvinists believe that the elect were justified before they were born.
Of course it can not. That is not what Daniels is saying. It is the Hyper Calvinists personal view that Divine Sovereignty holds a 'higher' position of importance then 'Human Responsibility', which would then classify him as a 'Low Calvinist' by comparison.To over-emphasize divine sovereignty is the key.

How can the divine sovereignty of God be over-emphasized?
The "hyper" part would be where one does no evangelism, does not engage in it, justifying that by some notion that "God will do it, so we have no part."
Listen, hyper-calvinism is a real threat and it is much more than just what Arminians call true calvinists.
