To ensure liquid orderbooks for tight spreads and low slippage, an additional incentive will be implemented for market makers who provide liquidity on Demex, even if their trade order does not get fulfilled.
Market makers who meet the specific criteria will have a percentage of their liquidity provided on the orderbook translated into trading volume that can be counted for the trading competition.
Market makers must add to both sides of the orderbook (buy & sell) with each side having a size of at least 0.1x the opposite side.
For example, if User A has a $10 buy order, they must also place a $1 sell order to qualify for the incentive.
Every $1 provided by a market maker that stays on the orderbook within a certain spread ratio will be translated to trading volume, for every full minute.
The translated trading volume is calculated based on:
The duration that the maker order stays on the order book, rounded down to the nearest completed minute. When an order is partially filled, the remaining quantity continues to be counted (as if it is a new order), from the next minute.
The spread distance multiplier (see below)
The order side multiplier (see below)
The multiplier applied to the market maker’s liquidity value is determined by how close the order is to the mid-price (difference in best price of seller and buyer). For example, if User A provides $100 of liquidity and it stays within 0.35% of the mid-price (Category B) for 1 minute, a 0.30% multiplier will be added to the liquidity value provided.
A: 0.0% - 0.2%: 0.40% ratio
B: 0.2% - 0.4%: 0.30%
C: 0.4% - 0.6%: 0.20%
D: 0.6% - 0.8%: 0.15%
E: 0.8% - 1.2%: 0.10%
F: 1.2% - 1.5%: 0.075%
A order side multiplier is applied to the order based on the side of the order.
Sell orders: 1.8x
Buy orders: 1.0x
User A provides $100 to the buy and $10 to the sell side for 5min 30s. At that point, the sell order is fully filled, and he cancels the buy order immediately (at the same time).
Spread distance of 0.45% = 0.20% (Category C)
Order side multiplier = 1.8x (Sell order)
Duration = 5 minutes (rounded down to the nearest completed minute)
Translated volume = ($100 * 1.0 + $10 * 1.8) * 0.20% * 5min = $1.18
For the case of multiple orders on the buy & sell sides
If a user places multiple orders on the buy & sell sides, the steps to calculating translated volume are as follows:
Determine order side with a lower summed notional value (qty * price)
Multiply the lower notional value by 10 to determine the maximum value of the opposite side that can qualify for maker incentive (Criteria 1)
Next, the side with the lower summed notional value will be used as the basis of comparison to determine the translated volume for each order on the opposite side.
In the following example, the sell side has a lower notional value of $8,572.80. Thus, the sell side orders will be used to calculate the eligible values on the opposite (buy) side for the maker incentives.
BUY | SELL | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Price | Qty | Notional Value (Price*Qty) | Price | Qty | Notional Value (Price*Qty) |
$3,060 | 2 | $6,120 | $3,061 | 0.8 | $2,448.80 |
$3,059 | 5 | $15,295 | $3,062 | 2 | $6,124 |
$3,056 | 1 | $3,056 | |||
Sum of notional value | $24,471 | $8,572.80 |
How the opposite (buy) side orders are translated to trading volume:
Taking the first sell order (0.8 qty @ $3,061), the maximum value on the buy side that qualifies for maker incentives is $2,448.80 * 10 = $24,448, based on Criteria 1
Sum of notional value on buy side = $24,471 (less than $24,448), therefore all 3 buy orders qualify for the maker incentive
Assuming maker order stays on order book for 1 min before getting filled
Spread distance multiplier
Order side multiplier (1.0x)
Translated volume for buy side = [($6,120 * 0.2%) + ($14,295 * 0.2%) + ($3,056 * 0.15%] * 1.0 * 1min = $47.414
