*** ### How Does Sandwich Help? It removes friction from trading. * Faster execution * Better visibility across accounts * More control over how orders hit the market * Less dependency on exchange interfaces > Most platforms optimize for accessibility.\ > Sandwich optimizes for execution.
Locally Hosted Sandwich runs on your machine — not in the cloud. Your API keys stay local. Your orders are sent directly to the exchange. No middle layer, no shared infrastructure. **Why this matters** * **Lower latency** → faster order execution * **More stability** → no browser crashes or UI lag * **Better security** → your keys never leave your environment * **Full control** → run it where and how you want > Cloud platforms add convenience.\ > They also add delay and dependency. > > Local execution keeps you closer to the market.
Flexible Deployment Because Sandwich runs locally, it can also be deployed on dedicated servers or VPS environments. This allows you to run Sandwich closer to exchange infrastructure, reducing network latency and improving execution performance. > Where you run matters.\ > Closer to the exchange = faster to the book.
Sophisticated Algorithmic Execution Sandwich includes a suite of execution algorithms designed to improve how orders interact with the market. These tools allow you to: * reduce market impact * automate execution * adapt to changing market conditions Algorithms such as **TWAP, Iceberg, POV**, and others provide flexible control for executing large or complex orders. > Good execution isn’t just about getting filled.\ > It’s about *how* you get filled.
Portfolio and Exposure Management Sandwich provides a unified view of positions, balances, and exposure across accounts and exchanges. This allows you to track capital, monitor risk, and stay aligned with your overall positioning while trading. > What you hold matters.\ > How you’re exposed matters more.
