two-sided market-making with defensive exits
Dynamic Spread Fast (DSF) is an advanced on-chain order strategy that functions as automated market-making. Unlike traditional DCA which only buys, DSF places both buy and sell orders simultaneously — creating a two-sided auction around a target asset. The spread between bid and ask narrows over time, and when directional trends emerge, the strategy defensively exits positions to protect capital. It is designed for experienced users who want to capture spread while maintaining flexibility in volatile markets.
Use Case: A trader deploys a DSF strategy on Cyclo targeting $FLR. The strategy places staggered buy orders below market price and sell orders above. As the spread tightens through fills, the trader profits from the bid-ask difference. When a strong downtrend is detected, the fast-exit feature automatically closes positions to limit losses.
Key Concepts:
- Two-Sided Auction — Simultaneous buy and sell orders capture spread from both directions
- Spread Narrowing — Orders tighten over time as fills occur, increasing efficiency
- Fast Exit Protection — Automatic position closure when adverse trends are detected
- Defensive Counter-Trading — Strategy adjusts dynamically to protect against one-sided moves
- Market Maker — The role DSF automates for individual users
- AMM — Automated market makers that DSF strategies interact with
- Liquidity Pool — On-chain reserves where DSF orders execute
- Slippage Risk — Price impact that spread strategies help mitigate
- Dollar-Cost Average – DCA — One-sided accumulation strategy DSF builds upon
- DCA Mechanisms — Infrastructure that powers both DCA and DSF
- Smart Contracts — Code that executes DSF logic on-chain
- Order Book — Traditional structure DSF mimics in a DeFi context
Summary: Dynamic Spread Fast is for users who want to go beyond passive accumulation into active market-making. By placing two-sided orders with built-in defensive exits, DSF captures spread in ranging markets while protecting capital when trends emerge. It represents the next evolution of on-chain order strategies — combining the automation of DCA with the profit mechanics of professional market makers.
How DSF Works
the mechanics of two-sided spread capture
• Select target asset (e.g., FLR)
• Define spread width (buy/sell distance)
• Set order sizes and intervals
• Configure fast-exit sensitivity
• Deploy via Raindex on Cyclo
• Buy orders placed below market
• Sell orders placed above market
• Fills capture the spread
• Orders refresh automatically
• Spread narrows over time
• Trend detection activates
• Counter-trades adjust
• Position exposure monitored
• Fast exit triggers if needed
• Capital preserved for reentry
• Spread captured on each cycle
• Ranging markets = consistent yield
• Trending markets = protected exits
• Reinvest or withdraw gains
• Strategy restarts automatically
