# Continuous Functioning of OMM

The OMM functioning is designed around the requirement for continuous update and tracking of its state – available balance, net premium values, outstanding position and current market pricing as implied by [Oracle](https://switchboard.xyz/explorer).

#### **OMM process is continuously run by crankers**

The whole purpose of crankers is to generate fixed yield on its operations – an initiation of recalculations process. Crankers do not control the recalculation or its results and are agnostic to the state of the OMM or its positioning. This ensures continuous recalculation as the only way to maximize yield from cranking is to kick-off recalculation as many times as possible.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://optifi.gitbook.io/optifi/optifi-in-depth/optifi-market-maker-omm/continuous-functioning-of-omm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
