Gate.io APP Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) Order for Futures Trading is Coming

Dear Gate.io user, we are pleased to announce that Gate.io APP has now added support for Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) orders for perpetual futures trading. TWAP is an advanced trading strategy designed to minimize the impact of large orders on market prices and reduce slippage costs in trading.

The core idea of TWAP is to break down large orders into multiple smaller orders and execute these smaller orders evenly over a specified time period (e.g., a day or several hours). This method can split the impact of a large order to each small order evenly, thereby effectively reducing the impact of large orders on market prices. At the same time, it can also lower trading costs and avoid uncertainties caused by sharp price fluctuations in a short period.

The main highlights of the TWAP orders include:

**1. **Reduce slippage costs: The TWAP strategy significantly reduces the potential risk of market impact. It can maintain market stability by splitting large orders over a period of time, effectively reducing impact on market prices.**2. **Concealing trading intent: When making large transactions, users may wish to conceal their trading intentions from other market participants and minimize the impact on market trends. TWAP orders provide users with an intelligent method to smoothly distribute orders over time, reducing the risk of exposing their intentions.**3. **Adapting to market fluctuations: TWAP orders show unique value in highly volatile markets. By splitting trades, users can better adapt to market price fluctuations, avoiding the risks associated with sharp price fluctuations and effectively responding to market changes.**4. **Enhancing trading efficiency: Large trades are often executed with huge slippage, where the actual fill price often ends up worse than the anticipated price, resulting in high trading costs. The unique advantage of the TWAP strategy lies in its ability to achieve more even prices by splitting a large order to smaller orders over time. It not only enhances trading execution efficiency but also reduces the impact of price fluctuations during the trading process, allowing users to obtain better fill prices.
