With this in mind, I think I won't be looking at the instant bid or sell price to determine my spread if I was actually to use that in my trading strategy not forgetting the bot usually don't have enough volume to execute big orders but they're just used to keep the market active so it seems there are trades ongoing every second.
This works on an inactive exchange with less volume. Exchange like Binance? Cant really take advantage of the spread factor, but pick a less bot environment market. Ive tried digifinex to do trading on xfi, and seriously the spread there is kind worse, I should have sell my tokens on uniswap using atomic swap. Their market is literally govern by bots, even you click the price set on your order.
Spread can be an advantage but also it could be a big loss if you dont take advantage of market.
