createIcebergStrategy
Splits a large order into smaller child orders, revealing only one at a time to hide trading intent and reduce market impact.
Instructions
Creates an Iceberg strategy that splits a large order into multiple smaller child orders, displaying only one at a time to hide trading intent.
When to use:
You have a large order and want to hide total size from the market
You want to prevent price manipulation based on your order size
You need to reduce market impact while maintaining consistent pricing
You want to earn maker rebates by using post-only orders
Sizing and splitting:
Quantity mode: provide
size, then split withsubSizeororderCountValue mode: provide
positionValue, then split withsubPositionValueororderCountsizeandpositionValueare mutually exclusiveorderCountrange is [2, 200]
Execution behavior:
Calculate child order quantity or value from the selected sizing and splitting mode
Create first child order (limit or chase pricing)
Wait for child order to fill completely
Once filled, create next child order
Repeat until the total quantity or value is executed
Each child order is independent - can have different prices if chasing
Important notes:
Recommended
subSizeorsubPositionValue: 5%-20% of the totalEnable postOnly=1 to get maker fee rebates
Set chaseDistance="-1" for aggressive taker execution (hit best bid/ask)
Always set maxChasePrice for price protection
Strategy executes sequentially - slower than Chase but more stealthy
If a child order is partially filled and canceled, strategy continues with remaining amount
Agent hint: Use this endpoint when the user wants to hide a large order quantity or value from the market. Best for requests such as "buy 100 BTC without showing the full quantity" or "buy 10000 USDT of BTC in hidden chunks". Do not use for time-sensitive execution - use Chase Order instead. An explicit subSize or subPositionValue takes precedence over orderCount. Check the instrument minimum order quantity and value before choosing child amounts. If a child order is below the minimum, propose a larger child amount or fewer children and obtain confirmation before retrying. postOnly=1 requires limit pricing.
