Execution Modes

Arbital bots offer three execution modes, depending on how aggressive you want to be.

Aggressive

• Fastest order refresh
• Orders closer to top of the book/mid price
• Higher volume generation in a short period of time

Aggressive mode will allow you to hit the target volume fastest, but is more prone to slippage and faster inventory accumulation during volatile conditions.

Normal (Default)

• Balanced refresh
• Moderate spreads
• Stable inventory behavior

Normal mode offers the best balance between volume generation and execution quality, reducing slippage while maintaining consistent fills.

Passive

• Slower refresh
• Wider spreads
• Lower fees, fewer fills

Passive mode prioritizes execution quality and fee efficiency over speed, resulting in lower volume but reduced slippage and inventory churn.
