Execution Modes

Arbital offers 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.
