Market- making algorithm

[JazzlikeSwan]

I need help with writing a vb. code for a market making algorithm that shall run on Rotman Interactive Trader. The security is called OGO.
Rules are :

1. Create a VBA function to trade algorithmically. Function to run once per second.
2. Function should cancel any open orders.
3. Function should then submit two limit orders, one to buy and one tosell.
4. limit your exposure, either by reducing your tradingvolume as your position increases, or adjusting your spread.
   5. Mmax trade size is 6000 shares. Yourposition limit is ±35000shares. You will not be able to exceed this limit. Tradingcommissions are $0.01, but you get a $0.005 rebate for submitting limit orders(providing liquidity to the market).

This is what I have so far. Some things are missing and others may not be correct and I am not sure how to finish the algorithm vb code.


OptionExplicit

Function MarketMaking(timeRemaining As Integer) As String

'Declare the Rotman API
Dim Trader As RIT2.API
Set Trader = New RIT2.API

Dim status As Variant 'Needed to place orders

MarketMaking = "Have 2 Orders"

If Range("B6").Value <> 2 Then
'Cancel my open orders
Trader.CancelOrderExpr ("Price>0")
'All orders have price > 0

status = Trader.AddOrder("OGO", 1000, Range("D4").Value - 0.05, Trader.BUY, Trader.LMT)
status = Trader.AddOrder("OGO", 1000, Range("D4").Value + 0.05, Trader.SELL, Trader.LMT)

MarketMaking = "Placed 2 Orders"
End If
End Function

not sure how to finish the algorithm vb code.

First complete a detailed verbal algorithm. only then start to think about code
