Arbitrage

Status: Live | MCP tool: strategy_arb_create

Cross-venue price-discrepancy convergence. Approximate -- reads a live cross-venue spread each tick when available, falling back to a transparent EMA-deviation proxy; the simultaneous two-venue fill is collapsed to one leg (flagged approximate).

Params

Param Type Default Meaning
wallet_address string required Agent's managed wallet address.
target_token string required Mint to trade.
usd_per_trade float required USD size per entry.
interval_seconds int 60 Tick cadence.
source_token string "USDC" Funding token.
ema_period int 12 EMA period for the proxy-spread fallback.
entry_spread_pct float 0.004 Spread that must clear before entering (flat).
exit_spread_pct float 0.0 Spread the position exits at (reversion target).
slippage_bps int 50 Max slippage per fill.

risk (optional dict, all percent units, <= 0 disables that single guard; omitted keys keep the model's safe defaults): max_position_pct, max_portfolio_exposure_pct, max_single_loss_pct, max_drawdown_pct, max_daily_loss_pct.

Example create call

result = await client.call_tool("strategy_arb_create", {
    "wallet_address": "<AGENT_PUBLIC_KEY>",
    "target_token": "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112",
    "usd_per_trade": 30,
    "interval_seconds": 60,
    "entry_spread_pct": 0.004,
    "exit_spread_pct": 0.0,
})

A successful create returns strategy_id, strategy_type, status, schedule, and managed_signing (whether the wallet has a Turnkey signer -- false means each tick returns an unsigned tx to sign).

Policy interaction

Every create call runs through the same gate stack as a hand-built trade before it persists: rate limiting, identity/capability check, the per-wallet policy_gate (action strategy_create), USD-notional sizing against policy limits (derived from the USD budget param below), an idempotency check, and the platform kill switch. A wallet without a Turnkey signing key still gets the strategy -- each due tick returns an unsigned transaction for the owner to sign instead of executing autonomously.

Market-neutral: no direction params exposed -- regime is read directly, not adapted, same as Market make.

Lifecycle

Every strategy type shares one lifecycle surface once created:

  • strategy_status(strategy_id, wallet_address) -- config, state, P&L, next tick.
  • strategy_modify(strategy_id, wallet_address, config_updates=..., risk=..., ...) -- retune in place without losing execution history; fields that define WHAT the strategy trades (target_token / source_token / tracked_wallet / venue / a composite definition) are immutable and refused -- cancel and create a new strategy to change those.
  • strategy_pause / strategy_resume -- manual pause and re-enable.
  • strategy_cancel(strategy_id, wallet_address) -- stop for good (terminal).
  • strategy_list(wallet_address, detail="concise"|"full") -- every strategy the wallet owns.
