OrderBook

Manages limit orders for creating, modifying, and closing positions

OrderBook

The OrderBook contract enables limit orders for the Satoshi Perps protocol, allowing traders to create conditional orders that execute when specific price conditions are met. It supports increase, decrease, and swap orders.

For a visual representation of the order execution process, see the Protocol Flow Charts page.

Contract Overview

The OrderBook handles:

• Creating and managing limit orders for positions
• Tracking orders until they meet execution conditions
• Executing orders when price conditions are met
• Cancelling orders that are no longer needed
• Collecting and distributing execution fees

Unlike the PositionRouter which executes orders immediately, the OrderBook executes orders when specified price conditions are met.

    address payable _executionFeeReceiver
) external;

Executes a swap order when the trigger condition is met.

Order Types and Mechanics

The OrderBook supports three primary order types:

1. Increase Position Orders

These orders allow traders to open or add to positions when the price reaches a specified level:

• Long positions: Orders can be set to execute when the price goes above or below a threshold

  • Use triggerAboveThreshold = false for “buy low” orders (execute when price falls to target)
  • Use triggerAboveThreshold = true for breakout orders (execute when price rises above target)

• Short positions: Orders work in the reverse manner

  • Use triggerAboveThreshold = true for “sell high” orders (execute when price rises to target)
  • Use triggerAboveThreshold = false for breakdown orders (execute when price falls below target)

2. Decrease Position Orders

These orders allow traders to reduce or close positions when the price reaches a specified level:

• Take profit orders: Set trigger price above entry for longs, below entry for shorts
• Stop loss orders: Set trigger price below entry for longs, above entry for shorts

3. Swap Orders

Swap orders allow traders to exchange tokens when a price ratio is met:

• The trigger is based on the ratio between the output and input token
• Orders execute when the price ratio crosses the trigger threshold

Triggering Mechanism

The OrderBook’s triggering mechanism works as follows:

1. Each order specifies a trigger price and whether the order should execute above or below that price
2. When the order is created, an execution fee is collected to incentivize keepers
3. Keepers monitor the price and execute orders when conditions are met
4. The execution checks the current price against the trigger condition:
   bool shouldExecute = _triggerAboveThreshold ? currentPrice > triggerPrice : currentPrice < triggerPrice;
   

Integration with Position Managers

The OrderBook integrates with the PositionManager to execute position changes:

1. When an increase order is executed, the OrderBook:

   • Transfers tokens from the OrderBook to the PositionManager
   • Calls the PositionManager’s increasePosition function

2. When a decrease order is executed, the OrderBook:

   • Calls the PositionManager’s decreasePosition function
   • Handles token transfers back to the user

Fee Mechanism

The OrderBook collects execution fees to incentivize keepers to monitor and execute orders:

• Users include an execution fee when creating an order
• The fee is refunded if the order is cancelled
• When an order is executed, the fee is sent to the keeper who executed it

If the execution fee is too low, orders may not be executed in a timely manner as they would be unprofitable for keepers.

Security Considerations

The OrderBook includes several security features:

• Access Controls: Only the order creator can cancel their own orders
• Price Validation: Execution only occurs when price conditions are met
• Slippage Protection: Minimum output amounts protect users from excessive slippage
• Execution Fee Mechanism: Ensures keepers are incentivized to execute orders
• Administrative Controls: Allows updates to the minimum execution fee

Example: Take Profit and Stop Loss Setup

1. Create a Long ETH Position

   First, a trader opens a long ETH position through the PositionRouter.

   // Position details:
   // - 5 ETH collateral
   // - 5x leverage
   // - Entry price: $2000 per ETH
   

2. Set Take Profit Order

   The trader sets a take profit order to trigger when ETH reaches $2500.

   // Create a decrease order to close the entire position at $2500
   await orderBook.createDecreaseOrder(
     wethAddress, // indexToken
     ethers.utils.parseUnits("25", 30), // sizeDelta (full position size)
     wethAddress, // collateralToken
     ethers.utils.parseEther("5"), // collateralDelta (full collateral)
     true, // isLong
     ethers.utils.parseUnits("2500", 30), // triggerPrice
     true, // triggerAboveThreshold (execute when price goes above $2500)
     ethers.utils.parseEther("0.01"), // executionFee
     { value: ethers.utils.parseEther("0.01") } // Pay execution fee
   );
   

3. Set Stop Loss Order

   The trader also sets a stop loss order to trigger if ETH falls to $1800.

   // Create a decrease order to close the entire position at $1800
   await orderBook.createDecreaseOrder(
     wethAddress, // indexToken
     ethers.utils.parseUnits("25", 30), // sizeDelta (full position size)
     wethAddress, // collateralToken
     ethers.utils.parseEther("5"), // collateralDelta (full collateral)
     true, // isLong
     ethers.utils.parseUnits("1800", 30), // triggerPrice
     false, // triggerAboveThreshold (execute when price goes below $1800)
     ethers.utils.parseEther("0.01"), // executionFee
     { value: ethers.utils.parseEther("0.01") } // Pay execution fee
   );
   

4. Order Execution by Keepers

   Keepers monitor the orders and execute them when conditions are met.

   // When ETH price reaches $2500, a keeper executes the take profit order
   await orderBook.executeDecreaseOrder(
     traderAddress, // account
     0, // orderIndex
     keeperAddress // executionFeeReceiver
   );
   
   // If the stop loss is no longer needed (take profit executed), 
   // the trader can cancel it
   await orderBook.cancelDecreaseOrder(1);
   

Practical Applications

The OrderBook enables several trading strategies:

Range Trading

Set buy orders at support levels and sell orders at resistance levels

Breakout Trading

Set orders to execute when price breaks through significant levels

DCA Strategy

Create multiple orders at different price levels to average in/out of positions

Automated Risk Management

Set stop loss and take profit orders automatically for each position
