# Batch auctions
Continuous limit order book designs leave room for arbitrage, incentivizing high-frequency trading and resulting in sub-optimal pricing for traders. Batch auctions are a new type of trading mechanism which addresses these flaws by grouping orders into discrete time intervals. This approach eliminates the arbitrage opportunities inherent in continuous limit order book designs and delivers more beneficial outcomes for traders.

it could be more precise if we said
Continuous limit order book designs *allow arbitrageurs to extract profits from liquidity providers*, incentivizing [...] This approach eliminates the arbitrage *profits* inherent [...]
But, honestly, I would be fine with dropping line 6 altogether (have we ever discussed continuous limit book markets before?) and start immediately with our implementation of batch auctions.

Took 3 months.... Makes sense to me, but let's wait for @acanidio-econ to confirm.

My recommendation is to drop the paragraph: the title is "batch auction," and we start by discussing continuous limit order book -- which we never discuss again because they have nothing to do with CoWswap.

Ok, following @acanidio-econ 's recommendation, I pushed a change and will merge the updated PR.
