CEX vs DEX

Automation venue tradeoffs

Automated orders run consistently across chosen venues.

You switch between exchange dashboards and manual scripts to keep strategies running and lose time and consistency. You struggle with differences in venue access: API keys and account permissions on centralized venues versus on chain signing on decentralized venues. You find that order types, latency, and permission separation vary by venue and interrupt automation when you least expect it.

Liquid Edge automates trading on the exchange account you already hold.

  • CEX account automationLiquid Edge connects to the exchange account you already have via that venue's API keys and places and manages orders on your account automatically.
  • DEX and on chain execution differencesDecentralized perpetuals and similar on chain execution require smart contract interactions and are a deferred integration; on chain workflows need signed transactions rather than API key calls.
  • We never get withdrawal rights. Anywhere.On a perp DEX your funds sit in an isolated onchain vault only you can withdraw from. On a centralized exchange the exchange custodies them and we connect with API permissions limited to trading. Neither route lets Liquid Edge move your capital.

Frequently asked questions

Is this only for advanced traders?

Not at all — Liquid Edge is built to serve beginners through to pros, with easy onboarding, presets, and deep customization available.

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Yes. You can move between tiers as your needs change, and cancelling stops future billing. Because your funds never left your own account, cancelling never puts your capital anywhere you cannot reach it.

What market data do the strategies use?

Price and volume from your connected venue, plus the derivatives and on-chain measures each strategy needs, such as funding rates, open interest, liquidations or order book depth. The data pages explain each source, where it comes from, and what it fails to tell you.

What are proprietary strategies?

Systems our own team researches, builds and maintains, which you can run on your own account. You choose the sizing and the risk limits; we handle the rule design and keep the logic under review. They are automated strategies, not a managed account, and nothing about them is a guarantee of returns.

What are strategy templates?

Fifteen ready-made strategies covering trend following, mean reversion, breakouts, momentum, scalping and indicator crossovers. Each one is documented, editable and can be deployed in paper mode first, so a template is a starting point rather than a black box.
