How it works

How a Market Maker Bot works on Aster

A market maker bot rests buy and sell limit orders on both sides of the order book, a little below and above the market price. When both sides fill, it earns the gap between them. It adjusts its quotes as its position builds, making the orders that reduce exposure more competitive and scaling back the side that would add to it.

On Coinner you pick a strategy: Spread works back toward a flat position, while Directional leans long or short, either from market signals or in a direction you choose. You set order size, max position, minimum edge, spread and stop loss, and the bot quotes on Aster in the cloud 24/7, widening its quotes when volatility rises and pausing if reference prices from other exchanges look stale.
