## Extended Exchange Strategies

### Orderbook Surge

**Maximum Points Accumulation**

A 50ms-tuned orderbook imbalance taker strategy that engages only in high-conviction conditions, enforces disciplined exits, and runs a single, non-scaled position for best-in-class performance.

**Key Specifications**

* **Expected Daily Volume**: \~1,000× deployed collateral
  * Example: $10,000 equity → \~$10 million daily volume
* **Minimum Collateral**: $200
* **Order Type**: Taker orders (fee-paying)
* **Builder Fee**: 0.01%
* **Best For**: Maximum points accumulation on Extended

**Strategy Mechanics**

Orderbook Surge continuously monitors orderbook depth and identifies imbalance conditions that signal high-probability short-term price movements. The algorithm enters positions only when conviction thresholds are met, executing via taker orders for immediate fills. The taker fee structure maximizes points accumulation per dollar of trading volume.

The strategy maintains a single position without pyramiding or scaling, ensuring clean entry and exit execution. Disciplined stop-loss and take-profit logic protect capital while capturing favorable moves.

### Surge Pro

**Cheapest Points with Lower Frequency**

An improved orderbook imbalance taker algorithm that engages only in the most high-conviction trade setups, resulting in lower trade frequency but superior risk-adjusted returns.

**Key Specifications**

* **Expected Daily Volume**: \~500× deployed collateral
  * Example: $10,000 equity → \~$5 million daily volume
* **Minimum Collateral**: $1,000
* **Trade Frequency**: 0 to \~10 trades per hour
* **Order Type**: Taker orders (fee-paying)
* **Builder Fee**: 0.01%
* **Best For**: Cost-efficient points accumulation with lower variance

**Strategy Mechanics**

Surge Pro applies stricter entry criteria compared to Orderbook Surge, filtering for only the most compelling imbalance signals. This results in significantly reduced trade frequency but higher per-trade conviction.

Due to the lower trade frequency, variance in daily results will be higher in the short term. We advise running this strategy untouched for at least 48 hours to observe consistent performance patterns.

### Momentum Edge

**Constant Open Interest & Capital Efficiency**

A directional momentum trading strategy that uses maker-only orders to minimize fees and maximize capital efficiency. Designed for longer-term position holding with consistent open interest.

**Key Specifications**

* **Minimum Collateral**: $500
* **Order Type**: Maker orders only (fee rebates)
* **Builder Fee**: 0.05%
* **Position Style**: Directional (long or short bias)
* **Best For**: Long-term set-and-forget with profit focus

**Strategy Mechanics**

Momentum Edge identifies sustained directional trends using proprietary momentum indicators. The algorithm places limit orders at strategic price levels to enter positions as a maker, earning potential fee rebates rather than paying taker fees.

Positions are held through short-term volatility to capture larger price movements. This strategy is ideal for traders who prefer not to monitor daily P\&L and can tolerate drawdowns inherent in trend-following systems.

The strategy automatically manages position sizing, entry timing, and exits without requiring directional input from the user.

To complement its maker-first execution, Momentum Edge selectively mixes in taker orders with a **0.01% builder fee** when conditions support efficient volume generation. This hybrid approach is designed to give users an optimal balance of **stable open interest** and **high trading volume**.

### Hyperliquid Copytrading

**Fastest Execution, Best-in-Class Mirroring**

Mirror any Hyperliquid wallet on Extended with rapid execution speed. Maker-only order placement enables superior execution efficiency and often outperforms the source wallet due to fee rebates.

**Key Specifications**

* **Minimum Collateral**: $200
* **Execution Speed**: Positions mirrored within seconds
* **Order Type**: Maker orders
* **Builder Fee**: 0.05%
* **Best For**: Following top Hyperliquid traders with optimal execution

**How It Works**

1. Enter any Hyperliquid wallet address in the copytrading interface
2. Planemo monitors the source wallet in real-time
3. When the source wallet opens, modifies, or closes positions, Planemo mirrors the action on Extended
4. All orders are placed as limit orders, potentially earning fee rebates instead of paying taker fees

**Execution Advantages**

Unlike traditional copytrading that executes via market orders, Planemo's limit order execution provides:

* Zero or negative trading fees (maker rebates)
* Reduced slippage on entry and exit
* Potential to outperform the source wallet due to fee savings

The combination of rapid latency and maker-only execution delivers best-in-class copytrading performance.

### Delta Neutral Algorithm

**Advanced Funding Arbitrage with Automated Rotation**

A fully automated delta-neutral strategy that operates simultaneously across Extended and Lighter, capturing funding rate arbitrage across multiple perpetual markets. The algorithm continuously scans orderbooks, identifies optimal entry and exit opportunities, and automatically rotates positions to maximize risk-adjusted returns.

**Access**: Closed alpha (top users only)

**Key Specifications**

* **Minimum Collateral**: Contact team for access requirements
* **Order Type**: Mixed (optimized per trade)
* **Builder Fee**: 0% (no builder fees)
* **Best For**: Sophisticated traders seeking delta-neutral funding capture

**Strategy Mechanics**

The delta-neutral algorithm represents Planemo's most advanced offering, featuring institutional-grade automation and risk management.

**Orderbook Scanning**

* 50ms scanning technology: scans every orderbook of every ticker 20 times per second
* Identifies optimal price spreads for entry and exit
* Monitors funding rate differentials across long/short positions

**Entry Logic**

The algorithm does not blindly enter the highest APR opportunities. Instead, it evaluates:

1. **Historical Funding Spreads**: Analyzes 24-hour, 3-day, 7-day, and 30-day historical data, applying a weighted formula to filter momentary spikes
2. **Price Spread**: Seeks to enter long positions at lower prices than corresponding short positions, creating immediate unrealized profit in \~80% of trades
3. **Sustained Conditions**: Requires favorable conditions to persist for a minimum duration to avoid reacting to temporary anomalies

**Exit & Rotation Logic**

Position rotation (closing existing positions and entering new ones) is treated as a high-risk event. The algorithm applies a significantly higher threshold for rotations compared to initial entries.

The system prefers maintaining profitable existing positions over frequent rotation, only executing switches when the risk/reward ratio strongly favors the new opportunity.

**Performance Characteristics**

* **Time to Breakeven**: Not applicable - approximately 80% of positions enter at immediate profit due to price spread capture
* **Capital Efficiency**: Automated rotation ensures capital is always allocated to optimal opportunities
* **Risk Management**: Position sizing, exposure limits, and correlation analysis are handled algorithmically

**Access Requirements**

Access to the delta-neutral algorithm is restricted based on platform activity and leaderboard ranking. Users must demonstrate consistent volume generation through other Planemo strategies before qualifying for delta-neutral access.

Alternatively, users can gain access by depositing into the upcoming [Vault](/docs/vault.md).

## GRVT Exchange Strategies

Planemo Trading on GRVT provides a maker-first and momentum-focused strategy suite, using the same core signal framework as Extended where applicable, adapted for GRVT execution and account requirements.

<details>

<summary>For technical implementation documentation, click here.</summary>

The GRVT implementation consists of a wallet-connected control plane, strategy orchestration layer, and exchange execution layer. Users complete account setup and strategy authorization through signed wallet actions, after which strategy modules translate signal output into GRVT-compatible order instructions, including post-only maker flows where configured. Strategy lifecycle states (start, active, stop) are controlled from the dashboard, with risk logic and execution constraints applied per strategy profile.

From a security and operations perspective, GRVT API access is scoped to required trading/view capabilities, and sensitive credentials are encrypted at rest. The deployment includes eligibility gating (for example, volume-based unlock paths) and periodic account and volume synchronization.

### Surge Maker

**Maker-Only Cost Efficiency**

A maker-only variant of Orderbook Surge that uses the same signal and TP/SL logic, but executes with post-only limit orders for both entry and exit to prioritize fee efficiency.

**Key Specifications**

* **Minimum Collateral**: $1,500
* **Order Type**: Post-only limit orders (entry and exit)
* **Best For**: Cost-efficient execution with rebate-oriented flow

**Strategy Mechanics**

Surge Maker follows the same conviction-based signal engine as Orderbook Surge, but routes orders through maker-only execution paths. This reduces execution costs and is designed for users who prefer lower-fee participation while maintaining structured risk controls.

***

### Orderbook Surge

**Maximum Points**

A 50ms-tuned orderbook imbalance taker strategy that engages only in high-conviction conditions, enforces disciplined exits, and runs a single, non-scaled position.

**Key Specifications**

* **Minimum Collateral**: $1,000
* **Order Type**: Taker execution
* **Best For**: Maximum volume and points-oriented trading on GRVT

**Strategy Mechanics**

Orderbook Surge continuously monitors orderbook depth and executes only when imbalance thresholds indicate strong short-term directional opportunity. The strategy uses strict entry/exit discipline and avoids pyramiding to keep execution clean and risk behavior predictable.

***

### Momentum Edge

**Stable OI + Capital Efficiency**

A directional momentum strategy designed for sustained open interest with efficient execution.

**Key Specifications**

* **Minimum Collateral**: $2,500
* **Position Style**: Directional (long or short bias)
* **Best For**: Users seeking stable open interest with balanced volume generation

**Strategy Mechanics**

Momentum Edge uses momentum signals to establish and manage directional exposure over longer holding windows. Maker-first execution is used for fee efficiency, while selective taker flow is introduced when needed to support additional volume generation.

### Hyperliquid Copytrading

**Fastest Execution**

Mirror selected Hyperliquid wallets on GRVT with maker-first execution designed for fast replication and efficient fills.

**Key Specifications**

* **Minimum Collateral**: $1,000
* **Order Type**: Maker-first replication
* **Best For**: Following top Hyperliquid traders with execution efficiency

**How It Works**

1. User selects a source Hyperliquid wallet
2. Planemo monitors source wallet position changes in near real time
3. Strategy mirrors open/modify/close actions on GRVT
4. Execution favors maker logic to optimize fee profile where possible

***

### Quantitative Market-Neutral

**Advanced Quant**

A cross-exchange market-neutral strategy that targets funding spread opportunities while minimizing directional exposure through delta-neutral hedging.

**Access**

* Requires a minimum of **$3M trading volume on GRVT with Planemo**

**Strategy Mechanics**

The strategy applies statistical filtering and execution gating to deploy only when market-neutral conditions are favorable. Positioning and rebalancing are handled systematically to preserve neutrality while capturing spread/funding opportunities.

## Lighter Protocol Strategies

### Planemo Strategy 1

**Balanced Approach for Lighter**

A balanced strategy optimizing profitability, funding payments, and trading volume simultaneously. This strategy maintains both long and short positions and is designed for users who can tolerate significant volatility.

**Key Specifications**

* **Minimum Collateral**: $200
* **Position Style**: Long and short (balanced)
* **Volatility**: High
* **Best For**: Traders comfortable with high variance who prefer infrequent P\&L checks

**Important Considerations**

This strategy is highly volatile by design. Only allocate capital to Planemo Strategy 1 if you:

* Can tolerate significant unrealized drawdowns
* Do not need to check P\&L daily
* Understand that balanced strategies may experience periods of correlated losses

The strategy is optimized for long-term performance rather than short-term stability.
