Your TWAP Has a Predictable Footprint (And the Market Knows It)

Your TWAP Has a Predictable Footprint (And the Market Knows It)

A naive TWAP — same slice size, same interval, every time — leaves a footprint other participants can front-run. The fix isn't complicated, but almost nobody implements it: jitter.

Jittered slicing, not a metronome

The TWAP/Sunshine Execution Planner slices your meta-order into a jittered schedule — varying slice size and timing enough to avoid a predictable pattern, while still executing within your target window.

The "sunshine" part

It also generates a sunshine announcement — a signal designed to attract passive liquidity to the other side of your order, instead of only taking liquidity and paying the spread every single slice.

Important: this tool only plans. It computes the schedule and generates the announcement — it never signs or sends orders itself. That part stays entirely in your hands.

Requirements: Python 3.9+.
