Chase, iceberg and timed orders

Orders that work for you: one that follows the best price, one that hides its size, one that waits for a moment; and running them with the tab closed.

Some orders need watching: following the best price, hiding a size, waiting for the open. Afterbell watches them for you.

Chase

A post-only limit that rests at the best price on your side of the book and follows it as it moves, so you are always first in line and always pay the maker fee. Cross after 1, 5 or 15 minutes sends the rest at market if it has not filled; Never keeps chasing. Switch it on under a Limit order.

Chase: rest at the best price, follow it, and cross after a wait if you want.

Iceberg

A large order shown one slice at a time: the book sees only Show per slice, and the next slice goes out when one fills. Peg to the best keeps each slice at the best price on your side; switched off, the slices rest at your limit.

Iceberg: the slice the book sees, and where each slice rests.

Running chases and icebergs show under Open orders: what each has filled, where it rests, and a stop.

Timed orders

A Market or Limit order can go out at a moment instead of now. When offers:

  • At the open or At the close of the stock’s home market, with the countdown.
  • Before the report: a few minutes before the company’s earnings release.
  • At a time you choose.
The When choices: Now, At the open with its countdown, Before the report and At a time
When: now, at the home market’s open or close, before a report, or at a time.

Timed orders wait under Open orders. One missed by more than ten minutes, because the tab was closed, is marked so and never placed late.

Running while away

Chases, icebergs, timed orders and trailing stops run from your browser while an Afterbell tab is open. Run while I’m away moves them to Afterbell’s servers, so they run with every tab closed:

  1. Choose Run while I’m away (in the ticket under a timed order, or from the address menu).
  2. Your wallet approves a second trading key, one Afterbell keeps encrypted on its server. Like the first, it can place and cancel orders and can never withdraw or move funds.
  3. Your lists go up to the server and run there; outcomes come back to the tab.

Turning it off deletes the key and the lists from the server, and you can revoke the key on Hyperliquid at any time. Following a trader with money uses the same key.
