# Sending a Quote

Sending a quote is a core action on the SYMM platform. It allows Party A to signal an intent to trade by submitting a detailed quote request. To ensure that the quote is accepted and ultimately opened by a hedger (Party B), you must follow the steps below and provide accurate parameters. Debugging is difficult with MultiAccount as the transaction could fail for a number of reasons.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
`sendQuoteWithAffiliate()` should be used to send quotes.
{% endhint %}

#### Function Signature

```solidity
function sendQuoteWithAffiliate(
    address[] memory partyBsWhiteList,
    uint256 symbolId,
    PositionType positionType,
    OrderType orderType,
    uint256 price,
    uint256 quantity,
    uint256 cva,
    uint256 lf,
    uint256 partyAmm,
    uint256 partyBmm,
    uint256 maxFundingRate,
    uint256 deadline,
    address affiliate,
    SingleUpnlAndPriceSig memory upnlSig
) external returns (uint256);
```

## Parameter Breakdown

### **`partyBsWhiteList[]`**

An array of Party B addresses (hedgers/solvers) that Party A is willing to trade with.\
\&#xNAN;*Example:*

```javascript
const partyBsWhiteList = [solverAddress1, solverAddress2];
```

***

### **`symbolId`**

The identifier for the trading symbol.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use the [`getSymbols()`](https://docs.symm.io/contract-documentation/current-version-0.8.4/facets/view-facet-0.8.4#getsymbol-9-and-getsymbols) function on the SYMM Diamond to see available symbols, or query a solver’s supported symbols from the [contract-symbols endpoint](https://docs.symm.io/api-endpoints-and-deployments/solver-addresses-and-endpoints/rasa-capital#get-contract-symbols) (RASA).
{% endhint %}

***

### **`positionType`**

Enum indicating the type of position:

```solidity
enum PositionType { LONG, SHORT }
```

Use `0` for LONG positions and `1` for SHORT positions.

***

### **`orderType`**

Enum indicating the order type:

```solidity
enum OrderType { LIMIT, MARKET }
```

Use `0` for LIMIT orders and `1` for MARKET orders.

***

### **`price`**

For **LIMIT** orders:&#x20;

This is the exact price (in 18 decimals) at which you wish to open the position.

For **MARKET** orders:&#x20;

The price a quote is opened at includes the spread that a solver charges. In order for your MARKET quote to be accepted, you should send an price slightly adjusted from the current market price depending on the position type. This is an adjusted price includes a slippage buffer (e.g., 5%).

* **LONG Order:** Increase the price you receive from Muon by 5% (your position opens slightly higher to reflect the hedger's spread)
* **SHORT Order:** Decrease the price you receive from Muon by 5% (your position opens slightly lower to reflect the hedger's spread)

***

### **`quantity`**

The total order quantity in 18‑decimal format. For example, a 5 ETH order would be 5e18.

### **`cva, lf, partyAmm, partyBmm`**

These represent the locked value parameters—fractions (as percentages) of the notional value that define the risk and margin requirements.

* **`cva`**: Credit Valuation Adjustment. Either `partyA` (the user) or `partyB` (the hedger) can get liquidated and `cva` is the penalty that the liquidated side should pay to the other.
* **`lf` (Liquidator Fee):** Fee reserved for liquidators.
* **`partyAmm` (Party A Maintenance Margin):** Margin required for Party A.
* **`partyBmm` (Party B Maintenance Margin):** Margin required for Party B.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Query the solver’s [`get_locked_params`](https://docs.symm.io/api-endpoints-and-deployments/solver-addresses-and-endpoints/rasa-capital#get-get_locked_params) endpoint. Multiply the notional value by the returned percentage (divided by 100) for each parameter. If you sent a MARKET order, make sure that the notional is calculated based on the adjustedPrice you sent (with the slippage included)
{% endhint %}

**The general formula to send these values as parameters are described below:**

**LockedParam (Wei)** = (Notional Value \* lockedParam) / (100 \* leverage)

```javascript
      //CVA
      const cvaWei = notionalValue
      * (new BigNumber(lockedParams.cva))
      / (new BigNumber(100)) 
      / (new BigNumber(lockedParams.leverage))
      / (new BigNumber(1e18));
      console.log("cva: ", cvaWei);
      //LF
      const lfWei = notionalValue
      * (new BigNumber(lockedParams.lf))
      / (new BigNumber(100)) 
      / (new BigNumber(lockedParams.leverage))
      / (new BigNumber(1e18));
      //Maintenance Margins
      const partyAmmWei = notionalValue
      * (new BigNumber(lockedParams.partyAmm))
      / (new BigNumber(100)) 
      / (new BigNumber(lockedParams.leverage))
      / (new BigNumber(1e18));
      
      const partyBmmWei = notionalValue
      * (new BigNumber(lockedParams.partyBmm))
      / (new BigNumber(100)) 
      / (new BigNumber(1e18));
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**The notional value must be calculated based on the price you wish to send to the contract, not the Muon price. It should reflect the hedger's spread.**

**Formula for MARKET orders:**

*notionalValue = (quantity \* adjustedPrice)*&#x20;

**Formula for LIMIT orders:**

*notionalValue = (quantity \* requestedPrice)*&#x20;
{% endhint %}

*Example Response:*

```json
{"cva":"0.7","lf":"0.3","leverage":"1.0","partyAmm":"99.0","partyBmm":"0","message":"Success"}
```

### **`maxFundingRate`**

The maximum funding rate allowed by Party A, converted to 18 decimals (this is usually 200e18)

{% hint style="info" %}
You can obtain this from the solver's [`contract-symbols`](https://docs.symm.io/api-endpoints-and-deployments/solver-addresses-and-endpoints/rasa-capital#get-contract-symbols) endpoint (RASA)
{% endhint %}

### **`deadline`**

A Unix timestamp marking the expiry of the quote. Ensure it’s set far enough in the future for a solver to act.

### **`affiliate`**

The affiliate address. This is the frontend's MultiAccount contract address.

### **`upnlSig`**

\
This is A `SingleUpnlAndPriceSig` struct that confirms:

* **`reqId`:** A unique request identifier.
* **`timestamp`:** When the signature was generated.
* **`upnl`:** The unrealized profit and loss for Party A.
* **`price`:** The verified asset price (in 18 decimals).
* **`gatewaySignature`:** A signature from the trusted gateway.
* **`sigs`:** A Schnorr signature (with `signature`, `owner`, and `nonce` fields).

{% hint style="info" %}
This data is obtained from the Muon oracle by calling the `uPnl_A_withSymbolPrice` method.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

*Example Query:*

```
https://muon-oracle4.rasa.capital/v1/?app=symmio&method=uPnl_A_withSymbolPrice&params[partyA]=0xYourAddress&params[chainId]=42161&params[symbolId]=4&params[symmio]=0xSymmioDiamondAddress
```

*Script Example for fetching and formatting the upnlSig for a sendQuoteWithAffiliate using axios and web3:*

```javascript
require('dotenv').config()
const { Web3 } = require('web3');
// Provide a valid provider URL; you can use your own Infura project URL or another provider.
const web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(process.env.PROVIDER_URL));
const axios = require("axios");

async function getMuonSig(account, chainId, contractAddress, symbolId) {
  const url = "https://muon-oracle4.rasa.capital/v1/";
  const params = {
    app: "symmio",
    method: "uPnl_A_withSymbolPrice",
    "params[partyA]": account,
    "params[chainId]": chainId.toString(),
    "params[symbolId]": symbolId.toString(),
    "params[symmio]": contractAddress
  };

  try {
    const response = await axios.get(url, { params });
    if (!response.data || !response.data.result) {
      throw new Error("Unexpected response structure: " + JSON.stringify(response.data));
    }

    const result = response.data.result;
    if (!result.data) {
      throw new Error("Missing data in result");
    }
    const data = result.data;
    const reqId = result.reqId;
    const timestamp = data.timestamp ? data.timestamp : "0";
    const uPnl = data.result && data.result.uPnl ? data.result.uPnl : "0";
    const price = data.result && data.result.price ? data.result.price : "0";
    const gatewaySignature = result.nodeSignature;
    const sigs = (result.signatures && result.signatures.length > 0)
      ? result.signatures[0]
      : { signature: "0", owner: "0x0" };
    const nonce = data.init && data.init.nonceAddress ? data.init.nonceAddress : "0x0";

    const upnlSigFormatted = {
      reqId: web3.utils.hexToBytes(reqId),
      timestamp: timestamp.toString(),
      upnl: uPnl.toString(),
      price: price.toString(),
      gatewaySignature: web3.utils.hexToBytes(gatewaySignature),
      sigs: {
        signature: sigs.signature.toString(),
        owner: sigs.owner,
        nonce: nonce
      }
    };

    return upnlSigFormatted;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error fetching Muon signature:", error);
    throw error;
  }
}

// Example usage:
(async () => {
  try {
    const account = ""; // Replace with your Party A address
    const chainId = 42161; // Example: Arbitrum chain ID
    const contractAddress = ""; // SYMM Diamond address
    const symbolId = 1; // Example symbolId 1 = BTCUSDT
    const muonSig = await getMuonSig(account, chainId, contractAddress, symbolId);
    console.log("Muon Signature:", muonSig);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
})();

```

### Parameter Encoding for sendQuoteWithAffiliate

When sending a quote using `sendQuoteWithAffiliate()`, you must encode the function call with the SYMM Diamond’s ABI before forwarding it through your MultiAccount contract. This ensures that the parameters are formatted correctly and that the Diamond delegates the call to the appropriate facet.

The transaction payload before encoding should be formatted like this:

```javascript
      //Max funding and deadline
      const sendQuoteWithAffiliateParameters = [
        partyBsWhiteList,
        symbolId,
        positionType,
        orderType,
        requestPrice.toString(), //the MARKET price (with added slippage) or if LIMIT, any price
        requestedQuantityWei.toString(),
        cvaWei.toString(), 
        lfWei.toString(),
        partyAmmWei.toString(),
        partyBmmWei.toString(), 
        maxFundingRate.toString(), 
        deadline.toString(),
        affiliate,
        upnlSigFormatted //signature from muon
    ];
```

**Steps to Encode and Send a Quote:**

1. **Encode the Function Call:**

   Use Web3’s ABI encoding to convert the `sendQuoteWithAffiliate` function call into a byte string. For example:

   ```javascript
   const encodedSendQuoteWithAffiliateData = web3.eth.abi.encodeFunctionCall(
     sendQuoteWithAffiliateFunctionAbi,
     sendQuoteWithAffiliateParameters
   );
   ```

   * **sendQuoteWithAffiliateFunctionAbi:** The ABI definition for the `sendQuoteWithAffiliate` function.
   * **sendQuoteParameters:** An array containing all parameters in the order defined by the function signature.
2. **Prepare the Call Data:**

   The MultiAccount contract’s `_call()` method expects an array where:

   * The first element is the sub‑account address.
   * The second element is an array containing your encoded function call.

   ```javascript
   const _callData = [ subAccountAddress, [ encodedSendQuoteWithAffiliateData ] ];
   ```
3. **Send the Transaction:**

   Finally, forward the encoded call through your MultiAccount contract.&#x20;

   ```javascript
   const sendQuoteWithAffiliateReceipt = await multiAccountContract.methods._call(..._callData).send({
     from: account.address,
     gas: adjustedGasLimit.toString(),
     gasPrice: sendQuotePrice.toString()
   });
   ```

By following these steps, you can successfully encode and send a quote with affiliate information using the `sendQuoteWithAffiliate()` function in SYMM.

***

### Finding the Quote ID

Once you send a quote using the `sendQuoteWithAffiliate()` function, the system will emit a **SendQuote** event. This event confirms that your quote has been successfully submitted and provides a unique identifier (the `quoteId`) along with key details of your quote. For example, the event is defined as follows:

```solidity
event SendQuote(
    address partyA,
    uint256 quoteId,
    address[] partyBsWhiteList,
    uint256 symbolId,
    PositionType positionType,
    OrderType orderType,
    uint256 price,
    uint256 marketPrice,
    uint256 quantity,
    uint256 cva,
    uint256 lf,
    uint256 partyAmm,
    uint256 partyBmm,
    uint256 tradingFee,
    uint256 deadline
);
```

You can use this ID to track and query your quote later, using [getQuote()](https://docs.symm.io/contract-documentation/current-version-0.8.4/facets/view-facet-0.8.4#getquote).
