Market Making Bot
How does it work?
The Market Making bot places limit orders just outside the current buy and sell prices. It does this in an attempt to profit from the spread between the two orders. On spot markets it will place both buy and sell order simultaneously. Once both orders are completed it will recalculate the target price and place new orders. For margin/leverage orders it will first place an enter position order. Once it has been completed the exit order will be executed. The cycle starts over when the bot has exited the position.
Although the bot can maintain an unlimited amount of slots, there are still API restriction to keep in consideration. Dont go overboard with the number of slots per bot.
