# if the LEVEL_DENSITY is < 1.0 then we accummulate the amount that was "left over", calling it the "amountCarryover". This spread configuration (specified as a decimal number) reduces the amount we carryover which can provide some randomness to the depth chart produced while still keeping a relatively deep orderbook. This increases the profits seen by the bot if the bot buys and sells at the same spread level (assuming the same center price).

# virtual balance to use so we can smoothen out the curve. This also has the benefit of increasing order amounts placed by the bot. However, if this is set to a value greater than 0.0 then there is a likelihood that the bot will run out of the asset that has a virtual balance set.
