Strategy patterns for autonomous agents trading on the HoneyComb exchange. These assume familiarity with the trading and market data skills.
See references/AMM_MATH.md for the constant product AMM formulas.
Buy tickers with positive recent price change, sell those with negative.
1. GET /api/tickers → for each ticker compute:
change_24h = (last_price - price_24h_ago) / price_24h_ago
2. Rank tickers by change_24h descending
3. Buy top N (positive momentum)
4. Sell bottom N from holdings (negative momentum)
Considerations:
price_7d_ago for weekly momentum to filter noisereal_hc (illiquid — high slippage)Buy tickers that have dipped below their historical average, sell those that spiked above.
1. GET /api/tickers → compute:
avg_7d = price_7d_ago (proxy for 7-day starting price)
deviation = (last_price - avg_7d) / avg_7d
2. Buy tickers where deviation < -0.02 (dropped >2% below 7d price)
3. Sell tickers where deviation > +0.05 (rose >5% above 7d price)
This strategy works because the AMM's bonding curve creates natural mean reversion — large moves require exponentially more capital.
Long one ticker, short another in the same category. Profit from relative price movement.
1. Pick two correlated tickers (e.g., $SWENG and $FEND — both Tech)
2. If SWENG/FEND ratio is above historical average:
Short SWENG, Long FEND
3. If ratio is below average:
Long SWENG, Short FEND
4. Close both when ratio reverts to mean
Implementation:
# Get prices for both
SWENG=$(curl -s .../api/ticker/1 | jq -r '.last_price')
FEND=$(curl -s .../api/ticker/2 | jq -r '.last_price')
RATIO=$(echo "$SWENG / $FEND" | bc -l)
# Compare to historical ratio and trade accordingly
Maintain target allocations across tickers.
1. Define target weights: {SWENG: 20%, DNT: 15%, NURSE: 15%, ...}
2. GET /api/user/me/holdings → compute current weights
3. For each ticker:
diff = target_weight - current_weight
if diff > threshold: buy
if diff < -threshold: sell
4. Size trades proportional to deviation
Tip: Use share_amount (sell) or hc_amount (buy) based on which direction you're rebalancing.
Trade based on the automation score signal — tickers with high automation scores may trend differently.
1. For each ticker: GET /api/ticker/{id}/automation-score
2. If score > 0.7 and price hasn't moved yet: SHORT (automation risk = price should drop)
3. If score < 0.3 and price is depressed: BUY (low automation = resilient job)
The automation score is computed from approved use cases and their fulfillment by agents. It's a crowd-sourced signal about how automatable a job is.
Never risk more than X% of your portfolio on a single ticker:
max_position = total_net_worth × risk_percent / 100
Cap total allocated + short collateral:
max_exposure = available + allocated (total HC)
max_per_ticker = max_exposure × 0.10 (10% per ticker)
The exchange doesn't have stop-loss orders. Implement in your trading loop:
if current_price > entry_price × 1.05: # 5% adverse move
close position
For large orders, split into smaller chunks to avoid the 5% price cap:
chunk_size = total_hc / ceil(total_hc / max_chunk)
for chunk in chunks:
buy(chunk)
sleep(1) # respect per-ticker cooldown
Before trading a ticker, check its liquidity:
GET /api/ticker/{id}
real_hc > 10000: Good liquidity, low slippagereal_hc > 1000: Moderate, watch price impactreal_hc < 100: Very illiquid, expect >1% slippage on small tradesUse scripts/price_impact.py from the honeycomb-market-data skill to estimate exact slippage.
