Trading Bots
A Trading Bot is an instance of a trading algorithm that can be customized using configuration parameters to achieve specific business objectives.
By configuring Instrument parameters, you can define a quoting (maker) leg, a target exchange, and a list of source exchanges. Optional parameters can be used to specify underlying (second) and fx conversion (third) legs.
Use the Pricer configuration to set bid/ask quote sizes, markups (margins) to be added to an asset base price, and a method of calculating the base price. Optional parameters can be used to establish a minimum spread between the best sell and buy quotes, a minimum price change to calibrate the frequency of the order flow, and a take-out rule to specify conditions for the bot to aggress on stale orders in the market.
Risk Limits parameters enable the specification of the maximum long/short exposure for the bot. These limits control the open quantity in the market, preventing the bot from acquiring long or short positions beyond the specified limits. Other parameters within this group can be used to manage the maximum daily loss and adjust the frequency of the order flow.
With Hedger configuration, you can define conditions that will trigger auto-hedging, such as the maximum and normal position size. Once the bot's current position (the difference between the bought and sold quantity) exceeds the maximum limit, the hedging algorithm is activated to reduce the current position size to the target size (normal).
