A market that never sleeps (24/7)
Crypto markets such as DeepBook on Sui trade through nights and weekends. That has real benefits and a real cost.
New to this
The benefits: no opening-bell rush; an order can wait at the price you chose while you sleep; you don't have to watch screens. The cost: prices move while you sleep too, so decide your limits in daylight.
If you've bought some crypto
At 3 AM a market order takes whatever the thin book offers, while a limit order waits at your price. Thin overnight books make prices jump, which is why a bot that waits is calmer than a person who checks.
If you trade actively
Continuous markets mean weekend liquidity is thinner. Resting post-only orders behave well; fail-closed guards (stale feed, missing heartbeat, error streak) matter most when nobody is awake. Be precise: resting orders sit on the book around the clock, but the bot acts only on its schedule, so a guard or HALT takes effect at its next check, not the moment something happens.
A worked example
Worked example: an order to buy at 1.00 placed at 10 PM may fill at 2 AM during a quick dip, or never. Both are fine outcomes, because the price was chosen calmly the evening before.
