Market Making (live today)
Market Making is the first live piece of ClinkAI. It lets you run a market-making strategy 24/7 on a DeFi venue without sitting at a screen. You decide how much capital to deploy, how much leverage to use, and when to stop. ClinkAI handles order placement and the moment-to-moment decisions in between. You get a session record showing every trade, real net PnL after fees, and a confidence label so you know when to trust the estimate and when not to.
This is the first step of the full strategy pipeline you can actually run. Everything after it — the trading pipeline, full deploy, and monitor — is in build.
For the step-by-step setup, see Getting started with Market Making.
What it does for you
Section titled “What it does for you”- Runs a market-making strategy without writing code or babysitting a terminal.
- Caps downside up front with a spend or time limit, so a session cannot run past what you meant to risk.
- Shows net PnL after fees, not gross.
- Records every session with its full trade list, so you can see what actually happened.
What you choose
Section titled “What you choose”- Asset. What you make markets on (for example ETH or XYZ100), on the supported venue.
- Strategy.
- GRID (Passive). Live, and the default. Rests limit orders on both sides of the book and earns the spread.
- RGRID (Momentum). Coming soon. A faster, breakout-driven style. Not switched on yet.
- When it stops. Time (hours, days, weeks) or Spend (a dollar budget).
- Margin. The capital you put to work. Minimum $50.
- Leverage. A slider from 1x to 20x. More leverage means more size on the same margin, and more risk. The slider goes to 20; that is not a recommendation to use 20.
The estimate, before you commit
Section titled “The estimate, before you commit”As you set up a session, an estimate shows: how much volume you would likely trade, what your expected PnL would be (and PnL per $1M traded as a speed check), how long it would run, and a confidence label: insufficient data, low, medium, or high.
Read the confidence label seriously. It tells you when there is not enough history to trust the estimate. When it says low or insufficient data, the tool is flagging that the number might be thin. Respect it — do not size up on a number the tool itself is warning you about. The label is working right when it warns you instead of printing a confidence it cannot back up.
While it runs
Section titled “While it runs”A live view shows status, uptime, net PnL (after fees), volume with a sparkline, market-making ticks, current equity, and a trade table with every fill (market, side, size, entry and exit price, gross PnL, fees, net PnL). You can stop it yourself at any time.
How a session ends
Section titled “How a session ends”Every session ends in a recorded state, so you know what happened:
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
STOPPED | You stopped it |
TIME_LIMIT | Hit your time limit |
SPEND_LIMIT | Used up your spend budget |
TAKE_PROFIT | Hit a profit target |
STOP_LOSS | Hit a loss limit |
RATE_LIMITED | The exchange throttled it |
INTERRUPTED | Ended unexpectedly (for example a service restart); you may be asked to reconnect and resume |
ERROR | It hit an error |
Every finished session lands in your history with full stats and the whole trade list.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- It is live, but it is early. Run small first. Use a spend or short time limit while you learn how it behaves.
- Only GRID is on. RGRID is not.
- Estimates are projections. If it says
loworinsufficient data, do not size up on a number the tool itself is flagging as thin. - There are real costs: exchange fees and the builder-code fee. Net PnL is what is left after them, and that is the number you are shown.
