Strategy Engine Overview

Strategy Engine

The HyperETH Strategy Engine allows traders to submit high-level trading logic that executes server-side, in close proximity to exchanges.

Why Use the Strategy Engine?

Trading is extremely latency-sensitive—millisecond differences can mean the difference between capturing an arbitrage opportunity or missing it entirely.

Core Advantages:

• Low Latency: Strategies execute server-side, eliminating network round-trip delays between your client and the exchanges
• Atomic Execution: The server guarantees atomicity and consistency of multi-leg strategy execution
• High Expressiveness: Supports complex trigger conditions, dependencies, and execution logic

1. Submit: Client submits a strategy with trading parameters
2. Execute: Server executes the strategy legs according to triggers and conditions
3. Monitor: Client can query status at any time
4. Complete: Strategy completes (or fails) and client is notified

Product Roadmap

Phase 1 (Current): Preset Strategies

Provides simplified APIs for common trading patterns:

• Maker-Taker Arbitrage: Place a maker order on one exchange, trigger a taker order on another when conditions are met

Phase 2 (Future): Custom Strategies

Opens up advanced engine capabilities, allowing users to define custom StrategyConfig for flexible, customized trading strategies with:

• Multiple legs with complex dependencies
• Custom trigger conditions
• Advanced risk controls

Core Concepts

Strategy

A strategy is a complete trading plan consisting of one or more legs with defined execution rules.

Leg

A leg represents a single order or set of orders. Each leg has:

• Order Parameters: Symbol, side, price, amount, etc.
• Triggers: Conditions that must be met before the leg executes
• Distribution: Which exchange and account to use

Trigger

Triggers define when a leg should execute:

Dependencies

Dependencies define the execution order between legs:

• Sequential: Leg B waits for Leg A to complete before starting
