How can algorithmic orders help you save money? Let's talk about the TWAP feature

TWAP stands for Time-Weighted Average Price, which essentially means automatically dividing your large order into smaller parts and executing them in batches over a specified period. It sounds simple, but in practice, it significantly improves the trading experience.

The three most direct benefits are:

First is cost management. If you put a large amount of money into buying coins all at once, the market will react — pushing the price up. Conversely, selling all at once can push the price down. TWAP disperses this impact, minimizing the market influence of your trades, resulting in better execution prices.

Second is risk mitigation. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, with prices changing every minute. The advantage of executing in batches is that it smooths out your buying and selling costs, especially useful when the market is uncertain and volatile. It helps avoid betting on extreme single-point prices.

And third is a boon for the lazy — set your trading volume and time frame, and let the system handle the rest automatically. No need to keep staring at the screen and worry about when to act.

For traders moving large positions, this kind of tool has become standard.
