Trading Strategy Overview

The current VOIDX Marketplace contains nine strategy families. Some average into price movement, some quote both sides of the book, and others wait for completed-candle or liquidation signals before opening a campaign.
You deploy strategies from the Marketplace tab: open a preset to inspect its canonical configuration, then use the standard deploy wizard. Marketplace values are configuration facts, not performance projections. See the Preset Selection Guide for selection and update behavior.

The Nine Families

TBLTBS

What it does: Runs durable directional campaigns admitted by liquidation Cascade signals, volatility ranking, or a combination of both. Depending on the profile, it builds LINEAR or Peaks/Troughs DCA geometry, manages staged protective hedges, and exits through fixed, trailing, or partial-plus-trailing policies. TBLTBS is the most lifecycle-heavy family. Exact exchange order ownership, restart-safe journals, campaign handoff, no-growth caretaker recovery, capacity gating, Profit Danger, Profitable Recycle, and Professional Auto-Reduce are integrated into the strategy.

TBLTBS and Liquidation Hunter

Cascade admission, maker-first campaigns, structural DCA, protection, and safe switching

Vortex DCA

What it does: Buys dips on a widening grid and takes quick small profits. Wave-queue variants extend the grid with larger rescue orders when price keeps moving against the position. You’re not trying to predict the next candle. Each fill changes average entry, and a recovery through the take-profit threshold closes the campaign. The trade-off is increasing exposure during sustained trends.

XGrid / Perpetual Market Maker

What it does: Quotes around current price with high-frequency grids, momentum-aware placement, tight take-profits, and layered inventory recovery. This is a highly configurable family with multilevel quoting, loss tiers, time-based exits, wall detection, and counter-scalp variants.

GLFT Optimal Market Maker

What it does: Computes bid and ask offsets from the Gueant–Lehalle–Fernandez–Tapia model. Quotes widen with volatility and skew to reduce accumulated inventory. GLFT has fewer discretionary knobs than XGrid, while retaining position ceilings, regime handling, and recovery controls.

Orderbook Walls

What it does: Uses observed bid/ask liquidity walls to select maker entries, take-profits, and recovery levels. Profiles vary by venue, risk tier, and V1/V2 lifecycle. Orderbook liquidity can disappear. A visible wall is evidence at one moment, not guaranteed support or resistance.

EMA Singularity

What it does: Waits for completed-candle EMA-extreme conditions and seeks reversion from statistically stretched prices. BloFin profiles range from Low through High risk. This is signal-driven rather than continuously quoting: no qualifying completed-candle condition means no new entry.

RetShock

What it does: Detects return shocks and manages bounded recovery through the current Bedrock lifecycle. Presets vary by risk and venue while retaining explicit notional controls.

Hydra

What it does: Watches a dynamic symbol universe and coordinates fresh admission, strongest-wall or Click-Clack recovery, fee-aware exits, and terminal collar handoff under one account-wide strategy.

Geometric Long-Only DCA

What it does: Builds a long-only ladder that accumulates as price falls and exits recovery rungs at fixed profit targets. Deeper orders grow geometrically. This is easy to understand but can become heavily exposed during a sustained downtrend. Current presets have no directional short campaign to offset that risk.

Quick Comparison

How to Choose

  • New to bots: begin with a lower-exposure Vortex or conservative market-making preset and one symbol.
  • Want model-driven market making: compare GLFT Conservative profiles.
  • Want configurable high-frequency quoting: study XGrid loss tiers and position limits first.
  • Want signal-driven reversion: compare EMA Singularity and RetShock.
  • Want dynamic multi-symbol recovery: review Hydra and its account-wide limits.
  • Want directional liquidation campaigns: read the TBLTBS guide. Do not begin with Tyler’s Liquidation Hunter unless you understand that wallet_exposure_ratio: 20 is an exceptionally aggressive leveraged-notional setting.
  • Want a simple bullish ladder: Long-Only DCA is conceptually simple but can hold large losing exposure for a long time.

Risk Disclosure

Every family can lose money. DCA converts price drawdown into position drawdown. Market makers accumulate inventory. Signal strategies can enter just before continuation. Protective hedges, stops, and recovery systems reduce specific failure modes but cannot remove liquidation, gap, fee, slippage, funding, exchange, API, or operational risk.
  • Trade only funds you can afford to lose.
  • Read the canonical preset values before deployment.
  • Understand exit and stop behavior before increasing exposure.
  • Use read/trade-only API keys with withdrawals disabled.
  • Monitor live bots and exchange positions.
