How Algo Marketplace Works on Delta Exchange

Modified on Wed, 24 Dec at 4:03 PM

Note: Algo Marketplace is currently being rolled out in phases to Delta Exchange users. If you don't see the Algo Marketplace option yet, it will be made available to you soon. We're gradually expanding access to ensure the best experience for all users.



Welcome to the easiest way to automate your crypto trading journey. Delta Exchange's Algo Marketplace lets you automatically mirror trades from top-performing, fully automated crypto trading strategies — without manual effort, without complex setups.


Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:


1. Access the Algo Marketplace

Navigate to the AlgoHub dropdown in the main menu and select Algo Marketplace or from the top section. You'll land on the Marketplace homepage.

All available trading strategies are displayed as cards, organized for easy browsing. Each strategy card shows key metrics at a glance, making it simple to compare and identify strategies that match your goals.


2. Browse and Compare Strategies

Explore the strategy cards displayed on the Marketplace homepage. Each strategy card provides detailed performance metrics, including:

  • Annualized returns — track historical performance percentages

  • Total subscribed amount — see how much capital others have allocated

  • Number of subscribers — gauge strategy popularity 

  • Drawdown — assess maximum historical losses

  • Strategy tags — identify strategy type:

    • Futures, Options — asset class

    • Directional, Non-Directional — strategy approach

    • Strangle, Hybrid Selling, Option Selling — specific tactics

    • Intraday, Selected Days — trading frequency

    • Harvest — profit-taking methodology

  • Leverage indicators — understand risk levels (e.g., "1x Leverage," "100x Leverage")

  • Performance chart — visual representation of the strategy's equity curve over time

These transparent metrics help you compare and choose the strategy that fits your goals and risk appetite.

Fees: Strategies charge a percentage fee per trade (e.g., 0.03% of notional), clearly displayed on each strategy page. No upfront subscription fees — you only pay when trades are executed.


5. Mirror Trades Automatically

  • Every time the strategy takes a position, the same trade is automatically placed in your account.

Key Points to Remember

  • No guaranteed profits — historical returns do not predict future performance

  • No manual trade intervention — strategies run autonomously

  • Diversification is recommended by subscribing to multiple strategies

  • Substantial risk involved — past performance is not indicative of future results

  • Market fluctuations — all trading strategies are subject to market volatility

  • Use Trailing Stop Loss — this feature is recommended to protect your capital from significant drawdowns

  • Independent subscriptions — each strategy operates separately, allowing you to manage risk across multiple approaches
