Hi.

I currently have a maximum of 241 buy/sell slots, is there a way to use them to get maximum benefit.
Do I split it 120 buy and 120 sell. Or use it all for buying then use them all to sell? 75% to 25% one way or other.

Many thanks

It depends entirely on how and where you trade. What I would suggest is start with 120 buy orders and see how many sell orders you need to service this number of buys, then adjust accordingly.

My favorite split is all buy orders, no sell orders. Your mileage may vary.

I have 5 buy / sell slots. I rarely use them all.

There is no way to answer your question, as it depends entirely on your trading style, what items you are trading in, and where you trade. Too many variables.

At the time when I was experimenting with >3000 orders, I used about 100-150 for buy orders, and the rest for selling.

Currently am using anything from 300-900 orders with about 15-20 for buy orders.

Any colour you like.
