TWAP New

A TWAP order spreads a budget across equal-sized buys at regular intervals. It is useful when distributing order size over time matters more than choosing a specific entry price.

TWAP follows time, not price
The first buy is submitted immediately and later buys continue on schedule regardless of market price. If buys should pause outside an acceptable range, use DCA.

How the schedule advances

TWAP has no trigger or range. QZAR submits one buy when the order starts, then submits the remaining buys at the configured interval.

SettingMeaning
Total budgetThe most the order can spend
Number of ordersThe number of buys to complete
IntervalThe time between buys
Jitter (optional)A random delay of 1–60 seconds added to each buy

Each buy is sized as Total budget / Number of orders.

Example

For a 10 SOL budget split into 5 buys at 30-minute intervals, QZAR submits 2 SOL at the start, then another 2 SOL around minutes 30, 60, 90, and 120. Optional Jitter shifts the exact submission time, but does not introduce a price check.

If price rises sharply halfway through, the remaining buys still run. That is expected TWAP behavior, not a missed condition.

Set the schedule

Choose TWAP from a token or pool trade menu, then set:

  1. Total budget per selected wallet
  2. Number of orders
  3. Interval between buys
  4. Optional Jitter

Everything outside the schedule—wallets, source tokens, execution settings, optional TP/SL, and submission—uses the common controls shown for a Classic Limit Order.

TWAP can keep buying into a fast move
Funds are not reserved, and price never pauses the schedule. Keep the remaining budget and execution fees available in every selected wallet, and cancel the order if continuing regardless of price no longer matches your plan.

Track completion

The order detail shows average entry price, buys completed and remaining, amount per buy, and time until the next buy. Running means at least one buy has completed; Executed means the full schedule is complete.

Each submission still depends on route availability, slippage, balance, and fee priority. A failed buy does not stop later scheduled buys, so verify the completed count rather than assuming the entire TWAP stopped.
