The latest Hive-Engine Market Maker bot that I released last week has been a huge success — thank you to everyone who tested it out and shared critical feedback to help us make it even greater!

Below is a quick tour of the brand-new “price filter” settings you asked for, plus a deeper dive on how they work under the hood.
🎉 What’s New?
@dlmmqb suggested that we “please don’t let the bot buy above X” —so we’ve added two new, optional safety thresholds:
Do Not Buy ≥ Price
The bot will never place a buy order at or above this price.
Do Not Sell ≤ Price
The bot will never place a sell order at or below this price.
⚙️ How It Works Under the Hood
When you leave these fields blank, the bot behaves exactly as before (one tick above/below the best bid/ask). But once you set a threshold…
Buy side
It checks the best bid + 0.00001
If that adjusted price ≥ your “Do Not Buy” value → skips the buy.
Sell side
It checks the best ask – 0.00001
If that adjusted price ≤ your “Do Not Sell” value → skips the sell.
📝 Settings Breakdown
Tip: All of these fields are optional—leave them blank to fall back to classic market-maker behaviour.
Setting What It Does Coin to trade Hive-Engine token ticker (in CAPS). E.g. LEO, HELIOS, PAKX or swap tokens like SWAP.BTC, SWAP.HBD.
Amount Coin How many base‐tokens to sell each cycle. Set to 0 to disable selling.
Amount SWAP HIVE How much SWAP.HIVE (per order) to use on the buy side (i.e. buy this much worth of your target token per cycle). Set to Zero and your bot won't buy any tokens.
Increase Ask (%) Widen your sell price by this % above the best ask. Default = 0 → undercut lowest ask by 0.00001 (classic).
Decrease Bid (%) Lower your buy price by this % below the best bid. Default = 0 → outbid highest bid by 0.00001 (classic).
Do Not Buy ≥ Price New! Skip buys at or above this price.
Do Not Sell ≤ Price New! Skip sells at or below this price.
Example: If you set “Do Not Buy ≥ 0.12”, and the best bid + tick is 0.125, the bot will not place a buy.
🔮 What’s Next?
I’m planning to roll these filters out to all bots—because who doesn’t want an extra safety net?
A searchable dropdown for “Coin to trade” is on the roadmap.
