How it works: Places 4 levels of buy+sell orders at increasing distances from mid price. Each level captures progressively more spread per round-trip.

Order placement:
L1: ±0.08% from mid (16bps RT = 4x fees)
L2: ±0.12% (24bps RT = 6x fees)
L3: ±0.16% (32bps RT = 8x fees)
L4: ±0.20% (40bps RT = 10x fees)

Risk scaling: Order sizes automatically reduced for low-cap tokens (<$0.05 = 40% of base). High volatility pairs get 60% reduction.

Inventory management: Aggressive skew (0.9) shifts quotes away from heavy side. Hard block at 80% of max inventory. Position auto-unwinds.

Best for: Consistent small profits without MM Program qualification. Works with any capital level.

MM Rewards: No — order sizes below MM Program minimums.

How it works: Uses the MAX allowed spread from Aster MM Program per pair (0.25% altcoin, 0.10% major) and places 4 levels across that range. Maximizes profit per fill while staying MM-compliant.

Order placement:
L1: 40% of half-spread (near mid — high fill rate)
L2: 60% of half-spread (mid range)
L3: 80% of half-spread (near limit)
L4: 100% of half-spread (at MM limit — max profit)

For 0.25% altcoin pairs:
L1: ±0.05% (10bps RT = 2.5x fees)
L2: ±0.075% (15bps RT = 3.8x fees)
L3: ±0.10% (20bps RT = 5x fees)
L4: ±0.125% (25bps RT = 6.3x fees)

MM Program compliance: Spread always within pair limit. Both bid+ask maintained. Orders live ≥2.5s. Targets ≥70% uptime.

Best for: Earning MM rewards proportionally while making spread profits. Balances fill rate with profitability.

MM Rewards: Partial — qualifies for quoting but below min size thresholds. Hot pairs get 10x reward weight.

How it works: Uses EXACT minimum order sizes from Aster DEX MM Program documentation for each pair. Auto-calculates leverage (up to 20x) to fit available balance. Qualifies for full MM tier rewards.

Order placement: Single level bid+ask per pair at MM-compliant spread. If balance insufficient for both sides on a pair — skips entirely (both sides required).

Min sizes (examples):
ASTERUSDT: 30,000 units ($19,800 notional)
ATOMUSDT: 6,000 units ($10,080)
BNBUSDT: 50 units ($30,850)

Capital needed (all 4 pairs at 20x): ~$6,500 minimum wallet balance.

Priority: Hot pairs placed first (10x reward weight), then normal pairs with remaining balance.

Best for: Maximum MM Program rewards with sufficient capital. Tier 1/2 qualification.

MM Rewards: Full — meets all quoting requirements from MM Program docs.
