Trading Strategy Overview

VOIDX bots come in four strategy families. Every preset you see in the Marketplace tab belongs to one of them. This page explains what each family actually does — in plain English first — and helps you pick the right one.

​

The Four Families

​

Vortex DCA

What it does: Buys dips on a widening grid and takes quick small profits (typically 0.18–0.24% per cycle). If price keeps falling, a wave queue extends the grid with fresh, larger orders to rescue the position instead of leaving it stranded. You’re not trying to predict where price goes. The bot ladders buy orders below the current price, sized so deeper levels are bigger. Each dip lowers your average entry; as soon as price recovers a small distance past that average, the whole position exits at a profit and the cycle restarts. Most presets run this on both the long and short side simultaneously.

​

XGrid (Perp Market Maker)

What it does: A high-frequency grid scalper that quotes both buy and sell orders around the current price and follows momentum with tight take-profits. It earns the spread between its bids and asks, many times per day. This is the most configurable family (100+ parameters under the hood) with layered defenses — tiered loss management, time-based exits, whale-wall detection, and an optional counter-scalp that trades against a stuck position to claw back losses.

​

GLFT MM

What it does: Quotes both sides of the order book around fair value, earning the spread while keeping inventory in check. Instead of hand-tuned rules, the bid/ask placement comes from the Gueant–Lehalle–Fernandez–Tapia academic market-making model — quotes automatically widen in volatile markets and skew to shed inventory when a position builds up. Fewer knobs than XGrid, with the spread math derived from live volatility and order-flow measurements. All current presets run 20x leverage with a hard per-symbol drawdown stop.

​

Long-Only DCA (Geometric Long Only)

What it does: A long-only ladder that accumulates on the way down and sells each rung at a small fixed profit (0.3–0.5% in current presets). Order sizes follow a martingale curve — each deeper rung is roughly double the previous, with the last rungs extra-heavy to catch deep discounts. The simplest family to reason about: it only ever buys dips and sells recoveries. The trade-off is that it holds through drawdowns by design — if price keeps falling, you accumulate a larger losing position while waiting for a bounce.

Which Should I Pick?

​

Quick guidance

• New to bots? Start with a Vortex DCA preset — the featured “Vortex Waves” presets are the current recommended starting point. The cycle (buy dip → average → take profit → reset) is easy to follow in the logs.
• Want market-making with few knobs? GLFT MM Conservative ($10 quotes,$500 max position, $100–$200 drawdown stop).
• Experienced and active? XGrid / Perp MM presets like MM Professional 2-Level or v7/v8 Counterscalp — but understand leverage and the loss-management tiers first.
• Long-term bullish on one asset? Long-Only DCA — accept that you’ll hold red positions during downtrends.
