Introducing Balance Watcher — Smart real-time balance surveillance in the Market-Making bot

In the fast-paced world of algorithmic market making, bot performance and risk awareness are paramount. Today, we’re excited to unveil a key evolution in MarketMaking.app’s Premium features — Balance Watcher — a real-time balance monitoring module designed to safeguard funds and improve bot reliability under volatile market conditions.

This feature addresses a fundamental need for proactive protection: ensuring your market-making bot doesn’t operate blindly when unexpected events affect balances.

Why Balance Watcher matters

Market makers operate in environments where rapid price swings, aggressive bot strategies, API errors, or exchange outages can dramatically affect account balances. Traditional systems often resume trading without evaluating whether conditions are safe — leaving funds exposed.

Balance Watcher was introduced to solve this. It continuously supervises your bot’s account balances and compares live data to defined historical benchmarks. If something goes awry, Balance Watcher steps in with alerts and preventive actions rather than letting the bot run unchecked.

Core capabilities

Here’s what Balance Watcher brings to the table in MarketMaking.app Premium:

📊 1. Continuous balance & price monitoring

The system tracks your latest asset balances alongside price movements. It compares this data to a stored reference snapshot to detect abnormal behavior.

⚠️ 2. Anomaly detection

Balance Watcher watches for unexpected drops — beyond what market movements would justify. This includes situations like sudden liquidity gaps or hostile bot activity.

📣 3. Immediate alerts

When an anomaly is detected, Balance Watcher sends detailed alerts with context, helping operators make informed decisions quickly.

🧯 4. Automatic emergency actions

Depending on your configuration, Balance Watcher can Pause all bot activity or Enter a safe mode with constrained risk exposure.

How it works — a dual-metric approach

Balance Watcher combines two key monitoring techniques:

1. Absolute base currency tracking
This metric evaluates direct decreases in your settlement currency (like USDT or BTC), which often signal unplanned asset usage or losses.

2. Normalized combined balance tracking
By converting token balances into a common reference (e.g., quote currency), the system estimates where your total value should be given current prices. If your actual balance falls below this expected value by defined thresholds, an alert triggers.

This dual approach is designed to catch both obvious and subtle balance anomalies with resilience even during normal market volatility.
