Automatic Strategy

The Automatic strategy is most commonly used. It begins by bidding as specified by your valuation settings. If the agent doesn’t obtain this amount of bandwidth it bids again, if permitted by the valuation, at an incrementally higher unit price. It adjusts the amount of bandwidth requested to agree with the value you place on the bandwidth. This process continues until either the agent receives the amount it requests or it cannot meet the current market price due to limits imposed by the valuation settings.

The two display fields in the Automatic Strategy window show the current bid quantity on the left and unit price on the right.
