Bidding Strategies

Strategy 1: Spread (default)

The Spread strategy distributes your bids evenly across your configured price range.

How it works

Given a range of rangeLow to rangeHigh and bidCount slots, the bot calculates evenly spaced price points and places one bid at each.

Floor: 200,000 sats
Range: 75% – 90%  →  150,000 – 180,000 sats
Bid count: 4

Prices: 150,000 | 160,000 | 170,000 | 180,000

When to use Spread

You want passive buy-wall coverage across a price range
You’re not trying to be the top bid — just acquire at a discount
Lower API usage (fewer updates needed)

Strategy 2: Outbid

The Outbid strategy actively monitors competitor offers and places bids just above them. Enable it by toggling Outbid Mode on a task.

Outbid amount modes

Mode	Description	Example
`fixed`	Add a fixed number of sats above competitor	competitor + 1,000 sats
`percent`	Bid a % above competitor	competitor × 1.01 (1% above)

How it works

Bot fetches the current offer book for your collection
Finds competitor offers within your configured range
Places bids just above each competitor (up to your bid count)
Caps at your rangeHigh — never exceeds your configured maximum

Competitor offers: 155,000 | 162,000 | 171,000
Outbid amount: 1,000 sats fixed

Bot bids: 156,000 | 163,000 | 172,000

If there are no competitors, the bot falls back to a spread at rangeLow.

`onlyBidIfHighest`

When this is enabled alongside Outbid mode, the bot cancels all bids if it’s not currently the highest bidder. Useful for aggressive “top-of-book” strategies.

Price Safety Rules

The bot enforces these invariants regardless of strategy:

Rule	Detail
Never above floor	Ordinals bids capped at `floor - 1 sat`
Rune floor cap	Rune bids capped at `floor × 99.9%`
Hardcap	Never exceeds your configured hardcap
1000-sat rounding	Ordinals bids rounded down to nearest 1,000 sats
Minimum bid	Ordinals: 1,000 sats. Runes: total order value ≥ 10,000 sats

Floor crash protection

If the floor price drops more than 15% in a single cycle compared to the previous cycle, the bot cancels all bids for that task immediately. This protects against sudden floor collapses where your bids would be filled at prices that are no longer representative of the market.

Update Threshold

The bot considers a bid “stale” (needs updating) if:

|current_bid_price - ideal_price| / ideal_price > 1%

Bids within 1% of the ideal price are left alone to reduce unnecessary cancels and API calls. You can disable bid updating entirely with updateBidEnabled: false.
