Increment rules pace how fast price climbs. Smaller steps mean more rounds; larger steps skip psychological noise but can overshoot thin markets.
Strategy
On fast clocks, pre-calculate two or three valid increments below your ceiling so you are not doing math while seconds vanish.
Increments are the stairs-know the steps before you sprint them.
JMPA tip
Pair increments with proxy ceilings on lanes where emotional bidding spikes in the final minute.
