🎯Satflow Collection Bidding
Features

Requirements to run Satflow collection bidding tasks
How does Ordinals Collection bidding work?
Bidding on Ordinal assets through Satflow is very similar to bidding on Opensea. Here are the most important notes:
You can have as many active bids as you want on each wallet
Maximum active bids controlls how many bids are kept active on a per task level (old bids are getting auto cancelled)
Trait filters can be added to bid on certain traits only
Minimum bid amount is 1'000 sats on token bids (0.00001 BTC)
Minimum bid duration is 15min for Collection bids
An additional ~600 sats will be used as transaction fees as part of the bid.
Satflow takes 1000 sats as fees on every transaction but it's part of your bid and not on top.

Create Ordinal Collection Task
Ordinal bidding tasks need to be created as Manual Task for now. Head to the CTO page and hit the "Create Ordinal Collection Task" Button:

Ordinals Collection
Copy & Past the link of the Ordinals Collection to your Task and hit the Fetch Data button to make it double check the collection.
This will fetch collection details and floor price
Once the Collection has been fetched it's not longer possible to change it. Create a new Task if you want to bid on a different Collection.
Trait targets can still be changed later on.

Bidding Wallet
Now choose your Wallet which will be used for bidding.

Outbidding Strategy
You can bid with a fixed bid price or you can use "Outbid" to define a minimum and maximum price range. Butler will automatically outbid your competition in this range.



Outbidding steps and Expiration Time
The next section is about Outbidding steps (when outbidding is enabled) and the Validity (duration) of the bids.
For Outbidding several options are available:
BTC: Outbid your competition in fixed BTC steps (Example: 0.000001 BTC)
%: Outbid your competition in percentage steps (Example: 1% increments)
Smart: Outbid your competition in 9 different steps from your min to your max bid price. This is designed to save outbidding iteration and push the compeition out by reaching their max bid price where outbidding wars are finally won.
The Expiration Time of the bid can be defined in mins, hours, days and weeks. Usually we recommend something between 15 and 60 mins for Collection Tasks.


Optional: Trait Filter
With the Add Trait Filter toggle button you can enable filtering for a selected trait. It requires to fetch Ordinals Collection Data first and it will then provide Dropdowns to choose the Trait Type and Trait Value filter for your Bidding Task:

Optional: Floor price cap
The Floor price cap is an important safety feature, especially for Collection Task Bidding. If you set the Min floor price the task will automatically stop processing and looping once the Collection floor price (cheapest listing) drops below this value. The task will still retry but only process bids again once the floor price is in your range again.

Optinal: Trait Floor price cap
On top you can also protect your bidding task from dropping trait floor prices. Works the same as collection FP protection. Once the cheapest listing of a trait drops below the "Min floor price" value it will stop bidding and instead cancel your active token bids.

Play Task
The last option is just a quick toggle if you want to start the task immediately after creation. It's the same as just hitting the play button in the Task list once it got created.

Here are some additional Hints to be highlighted in the screenshot below:
Use the Filters section top left to filter by blockchain
On the searchbar top right you can search by collection name to find your tasks
No border means the task is not scheduled to get run by your CTO engine (hit the Play button)
Green border on your CTO means, the task is running and you're owning the highest bid
Orange border on your CTO means, the task is running and you're not owning the highest bid
Red border means there was an error last time processing your bids (such as hitting FP limits)
Check your task logs (second button from left) to check for details when hitting red border
