How the Docs Are Organized

• The Expressive Bidding Guide is the how-to on the bidding language and how to create bidder logic and submit bidder data with minimal time and effort.
• The Quickstart Examples show how to build some simple bidder logic constraints. Start here if you're familiar with programming and trading logic.
• Several Runnable Templates are provided as a starting point for implementing common trading or execution strategies. These can be modified to your needs and submitted for production use.
• The Simulator Walkthrough shows, by example, how to conduct simulated auctions right in your browser. One click will set you up with a cloud-based instance where you can edit bidder logic code, create counterparties, and run auctions.
• The Bidding Language Reference defines all of the ReasonML / OCaml functions and types specific to OneChronos bidder logic.
• The Expressive Bidding section of the FIX documentation describes how Expressive Bidding fits seamlessly into your existing workflow.
