## Market State Definition
Passive order execution is not a bet on price direction but on queue priority.
## Healthy State
Queue position inside latency reserve with low amend frequency and wider spread than 15-period average.
## Degrading State
Queue position outside latency reserve or high amend frequency risks adverse selection.
## Broken State
Queue position beyond latency reserve with high amend frequency makes passive orders a liability.
## Queue Position Score
QPS measures queue value decay using fill probability and queue position.
## Amend Penalty
Negative AP indicates amend destroys queue priority, flagging a 15% loss of value.
## Failure Scenarios
Market gaps or latency estimation errors can destroy queue priority and trigger risk controls.
## Key takeaway

Amending a Bitcoin perpetual order reduces its queue priority, risking worse fills or cancellation.
