How it works

OctoBot Market Making is a distribution of Octobot, a free open source crypto trading robot, which is being actively developed since 2018.

It leverages the automated trading en strategy engine of OctoBot to create and maintain an order book according to your strategy configuration.

Simply configure your market making strategy details such as your exchange and pair, how many orders to include, the target bid-ask spread or even your coin reference price from another exchange.

What’s included

Order book design

Configure your exchange ideal liquidity by specifying how many bids and asks must be included in your strategy and the price range your orders should cover.

Order book maintenance

The algorithm automatically replaces filled orders and adapts the order book according to the current price of your traded pair.

Arbitrage protection

OctoBot Market Making builds its order book according to a reference price of the pair to provide liquidity on. This reference price can be from the local exchange or from another exchange with more liquidity on this pair.

Using another exchange as reference price will synchronize your bot’s order book around the price of this pair on the reference exchange. As a result, the strategy will instantly cancel and replace any order that does not align with your reference exchange price, effectively preventing arbitrage opportunities when the reference exchange has a more up-to-date price.

Paper trading

OctoBot Market Making comes with a built-in trading simulator which you can use to configure your strategy and test it before connecting your bot to a real exchange account
