How to Interpret Metrics
Vixor provides a wide range of real-time and historical metrics to help you evaluate the performance of your market-making activities. Understanding these metrics will allow you to fine-tune your strategy and improve efficiency.
Key Metrics and What They Mean
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Spread | The difference between the highest bid and lowest ask price in a trading pair. Lower spread indicates higher liquidity. |
| Volume | The total amount of tokens traded within a given time period (daily, hourly, etc.). Useful for measuring market activity. |
| Buy/Sell Ratio | Compares the number of buy transactions vs. sell transactions. Can indicate momentum or market bias. |
| Trade Count | Total number of executed trades. A spike may show increased interest or volatility. |
| Fees Collected | The sum of all trading fees accumulated through MM operations. Reflects how much your liquidity is being used. |
| Balance Usage | Tracks how much of your allocated base and quote token balances have been used. Important for ensuring sufficient funds. |
How to Use These Metrics
- High Spread? → Reduce minimum spread or boost settings.
- Low Volume? → Consider enabling Boost or optimizing order levels.
- Imbalanced Buy/Sell? → Check strategy alignment (Bullish, Neutral, Bearish).
- High Fees? → Indicates strong usage — possibly optimize fee structures.
- Balance Drop? → Review risk limits and top up wallet if needed.
Best Practices
- Always compare metrics across multiple days to detect trends.
- Use Volume + Fee + Trade Count together to evaluate engagement.
- Check Balance vs. Trade Activity to avoid running out of tokens.
