When using **cubic**:

* For buy orders:
  * With a bias of skew 1: distribution towards price range high.
  * With a bias of skew 0: distribution towards price range low.
* For sell orders:
  * With a bias of skew 1: distribution towards price range low.
  * With a bias of skew 0: distribution towards price range high.

When using **icubic**:

* For buy orders:
  * With a bias of skew 1: distribution towards price range low.
  * With a bias of skew 0: distribution towards price range high.
* For sell orders:
  * With a bias of skew 1: distribution towards price range high.
  * With a bias of skew 0: distribution towards price range low.
