Testnet upgrade: ALO_SLIDE and ALO_JOIN are available
We’ve added two post-only limit-order modes for testing:
> ALO_SLIDE - If your limit would cross the opposite best price, it adjusts to the closest non-crossing price on the market’s tick grid.
> ALO_JOIN - If your limit would cross, a buy joins the best bid and a sell joins the best ask. If that same-side quote is absent, it falls back to SLIDE.
For example, with 99.00 bid / 101.00 ask and a 0.01 tick, a buy submitted at 105.00 would work at 100.99 with SLIDE or 99.00 with JOIN, subject to normal validation.
Non-crossing orders keep their submitted price. The adjustment happens once on entry - resting orders do not continuously follow the BBO. Both remain post-only; ordinary balance, size and risk checks still apply.
Integration and signing
- Send "tif":"ALO_SLIDE" or "tif":"ALO_JOIN" in your limit action.
- Use Testnet signing domain 2.
- Set the TIF and submitted limit price before signing. Sign the original request, not the server-adjusted working price.
- Custom binary signers: transaction TIF values are 3 for SLIDE and 4 for JOIN, encoded as little-endian u32.
- Update closed TIF enums in your request encoder and /exchangeInfo decoder.
- Order/account updates use postOnlySlide and postOnlyJoin.
Testnet state was refreshed, so recheck your account, funding and open-order state.
