# TWAP Bot
* By DAVE
### 1. Why do you need TWAP Bot?
A TWAP strategy underpins more sophisticated ways of buying and selling than simply executing a lot of single orders. For example: Dumping a huge number of Coins in one big order is likely to affect market perceptions, with an adverse effect on the price.
High-volume traders use TWAP to execute their big trades over a specific time period, so they won‘t affect the true market price too much. TWAP basically is a strategy of executing one big order, as multiple smaller orders, over a specified time period.
