createChaseOrderStrategy

Destructive

Places a limit order that continuously tracks market price, canceling and repricing to improve fill probability while respecting a maximum chase price. Use for fast execution at a better price in volatile markets.

Instructions

Creates a Chase Order strategy that continuously monitors market price and automatically adjusts order price to improve fill probability.

When to use:

  • You need fast execution but want better price than market order

  • Market is volatile and price is changing quickly

  • You want to stay near the top of order book without manual adjustments

Execution behavior:

  1. Get current best bid/ask from order book

  2. Calculate chase price = best price ± chase offset (distance or percent)

  3. Place limit order at chase price

  4. Monitor market price continuously

  5. If price moves and current order is no longer competitive:

    • Cancel existing order

    • Recalculate chase price

    • Place new order at better price

  6. Repeat until fully filled or maxChasePrice reached

Price calculation:

  • Using chaseDistance: buy_price = ask - chaseDistance or sell_price = bid + chaseDistance

  • Using chasePercentE4: buy_price = ask × (1 - chasePercentE4/10000) or sell_price = bid × (1 + chasePercentE4/10000)

  • maxChasePrice protection: strategy stops if this price is exceeded

Important notes:

  • Chase strategy will cancel and replace orders frequently - watch API rate limits

  • MUST set maxChasePrice to prevent runaway in extreme volatility

  • Recommended chasePercentE4: 10-50 (0.1%-0.5%) for high liquidity pairs

  • Use chaseDistance for low liquidity pairs with fixed tick sizes

  • Strategy stops when: fully filled, maxChasePrice hit, or manually canceled

Agent hint: Use this endpoint when user needs fast order execution with price tracking. Best for "buy quickly but don't go above $26000" type requests. Do not use for slow execution or when hiding order intent - use TWAP or Iceberg instead.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, but the description goes well beyond that by detailing the cancel-and-replace behavior, reliance on order book data, API rate-limit implications, maxChasePrice protection, and explicit stop conditions. It also warns about runaway risk in extreme volatility, providing actionable behavioral context beyond the structured hints.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured with markdown headings and bullet points, and every section adds actionable information. The core behavior is front-loaded, followed by execution steps, price formulas, and risk notes. Despite its length, it remains tightly organized and free of filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity of a strategy creation tool with no output schema and a very sparse input schema, the description covers the core execution model, price calculations, risk controls, and alternatives. It falls slightly short by not explaining a few parameters, not clarifying if a chase distance or percentage is required, and not indicating the response shape or strategy ID. Overall it is still rich enough to support correct selection and invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With schema description coverage at only 8%, the description carries most of the semantic weight. It provides explicit formulas for chaseDistance and chasePercentE4, explains maxChasePrice as a protection bound, and offers parameter selection recommendations. However, it leaves several parameters (triggerPrice, reduceOnly, positionIdx, leverageType) undocumented and does not clarify whether chaseDistance and chasePercentE4 are mutually exclusive or if at least one is required.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool creates a Chase Order strategy that monitors market price and adjusts order price, and the agent hint explicitly ties it to 'fast order execution with price tracking'. It also distinguishes itself from TWAP and Iceberg strategies, so an agent can tell it apart from sibling strategy tools without opening their schemas.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description includes a dedicated 'When to use' section listing concrete conditions (fast execution, volatile market, staying near top of order book), and a 'Do not use' clause pointing to TWAP or Iceberg instead. It also gives guidance on when to prefer chaseDistance versus chasePercentE4 based on liquidity.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
