Composite workflows
Market maker
Quote both sides of a market, monitor fills, rebalance inventory. Uses orderbook reading, bulk order creation, and cancel-replace for price adjustments.
Order management
Bulk place a ladder of orders, monitor for fills, replace stale orders at new prices. Combines bulk operations with order lifecycle queries.
Arbitrage scanner
Compare oracle probability estimates vs market prices, identify mispricings, and execute trades when the spread exceeds a threshold.
