MIDAS - Market Maker w/ Adverse Selection Detection, Dynamic Hedging,Position Sizing, Self-Correcting Logic
Validatedmidas-market-maker-w-adverse-selection-detection-dynamic-hedging-position-sizing-self-correcting-logic
A hybrid spot + perpetual market maker on Bitget. It quotes both books of the same pair, stays delta-neutral, and steps aside when an informed-flow shield fires. Edge is the spread, the spot↔perp basis, and funding on the hedge — not a directional bet. BTC, ETH, and SOL run two books; XAU-USDT is perp-only.

AEGIS - Defensive Market Making
Validatedaegis-defensive-market-making
A defensive dual-book market maker on the XRP Ledger. It quotes **XRP-RLUSD** and **XRP-USDC**. Fills become one XRP pile. While that pile is heavy, a **1× Gate XRP-USDT perpetual short** is a shield — not a bet that XRP goes down. A dump must not hollow out the dollars. A real moon (+6% from hedge entry) cuts the short only; the coins stay. If price snaps back inside +3%, the shield goes back on. Both books stay on. One Hummingbot bot (`aegis-aegis_operator`) runs both `pmm_simple` controllers; the shield is a `position_executor`.

Quad Threat 🔥
Validatedquad-threat
Quad Threat is one Condor agent running three engines on a shared $800 Bitget USDT-M account: Engine 1 for momentum P&L, Engine 4 a BTC/ETH maker for volume, and Engine 2 an LLM breakout trader that is also the risk manager for Engines 1 and 2. Hard stops sit on the exchange; the agent takes profit from live P&L.
