Liquidity provider profitability experiment

OMG!

No one knows what happens to NAV.
That’s why I can’t put this proposal in my data feed.

It would be different, if @muchogusto did ask for x% monthly on top of the ALP compensation for reducing the spread from 1% (SAF 1.3%) to 0.5% (SAF 0.8%).

@muchogusto, I think it would be best if you created a separate thread under the motions board for your proposal. Including it in an existing thread can make the proposal hard to find or invisible to others not paying attention to this thread.

[muchogusto]

By spread 0.5% you mean a 0.0025 offset in each wall?

Now I use a 0.0035 offset with a 0.15 tx fee which makes a 1% spread (0.0035 + 0.0015 + 0.0035 + 0.0015 = 0.01). To make a 0.5% spread, I will change both offset values to 0.001.

[masterOfDisaster]

So you are at more or less break-even (including the pool compensation) at a SAF (spread after fees) of 1%?
What tolerance do you have configured (before orders get moved) at 0.0035 offset and what will be the tolerance at 0.001 offset?

[muchogusto]

Requesting a guaranteed compensation of 3% monthly without capping in case the NAV makes an immense loss for whatever reason will not make it to my data feed.

I added the following clause to the motion:

Shareholder payments will be capped at 3% of the NAV for each month.

[masterOfDisaster]

Thank you! That’s game-changing to get it in my data feed
I recommend to consider including a backup plan that allows you to switch back to a spread of 1% while forfeiting the 3% compensation, if the trading situation gets dire and you feel increasing the spread could help.
I mean, you guarantee to keep the orders up no matter what. Such a backup plan seems warranted.

Please have a look at the ninjaedit of my last post…

[muchogusto]

So you are at more or less break-even (including the pool compensation) at a SAF (spread after fees) of 1%?

So far I am up 1.86% at a 1% spread before fees.

What tolerance do you have configured (before orders get moved) at 0.0035 offset and what will be the tolerance at 0.001 offset?

I don’t see a tolerance setting. I thought the tolerance was a composite of the offset and tx fees. Am I mistaken?

[masterOfDisaster]

Isn’t there a tolerance setting in the NuBot config?
ALPv2 is based on NuBot, right?
Oh man, I’m lost. I only know NuBot from operating gateways…
Maybe @woolly_sammoth can help here?

Are you certain that an offset of 0.001 will not result in collisions with others running nubot? Because that will drastically lower your NAV.

Is there ever a point in time with 0.001 offset when a buy order you have on the books is at a higher price than the price feed? Because if this were pybot you’d definately have collisions at that offset.

[muchogusto]

Are you certain that an offset of 0.001 will not result in collisions with others running nubot?

I have no idea.

What is the minimum offset that will not result in collisions?

[Nagalim]

Depends on who you ask i suppose. I usually talk about deviation of 0.25% and that an offset equal to half the deviation will result in collisions. That’s my model of it, i dont even know if 0.25% is what’s used in nubot though (my analysis comes from using pybot in alp v1). @willy might know.

[muchogusto]

I usually talk about deviation of 0.25% and that an offset equal to half the deviation will result in collisions.

Does this mean your recommendation would be to get comfortably above 0.00125 then? Such as 0.0015?

[Nagalim]

Sure. There’s a txn fee going on inside the bot too, so im really just not sure about it all. But yah, I’d say that 0.0015 offset would give me confidence that your operation will not have NAV lowered by collisions with other instances of nubot run by other operators.

[muchogusto]

I’d say that 0.0015 offset would give me confidence that your operation will not have NAV lowered by collisions with other instances of nubot run by other operators.

Based on your recommendation I just altered to the motion to specify a 0.6% spread, which will be done by setting the offsets to 0.0015 just as you suggested.

Sorry for the late change, but nobody wants wall collisions.

Great responsiveness thank you

Did you check this recommendation:

Such a backup plan seems warranted.

I’m suggesting this because of:

This will be guaranteed liquidity, meaning I will not remove the funds from the Poloniex order books for any reason, including a liquidity crisis.

[muchogusto]

I don’t see any reason why I would need to increase the spread. Things will already like you have suggested because I am getting paid after the fact.
