Why Use a Bot?
Grid bots can generate income even when the market moves sideways and help you profit from volatility.
They remove emotion from trading and operate 24/7 in the background, allowing you to focus on living your life while your portfolio works for you.
Flexible Manual Adjustments
Grid bots offer significant flexibility through manual adjustments, allowing you to adapt your strategy to changing market conditions without necessarily restarting the bot.
Key Adjustable Parameters
You have substantial control over a running grid bot, allowing for the following adjustments:
Price Range: Modifying the upper and lower trading limits.
Number of Grids: Changing the density of the buy and sell orders.
Margin (Investment): Adding or removing capital from the bot’s trading pool.
🎯 Why Adjust Your Bot? (The Purpose of Flexibility)
Adjustments are typically made to maintain trade activity and optimize performance when the market moves outside your initial expectations:
Bot Type | Price Action | Bot Behavior | Why Adjust? |
LONG Grid | Price moves above the upper range | Stops placing sell orders | To extend the upper range to continue taking profits |
LONG Grid | Price moves below the lower range | Stops placing buy orders | To extend the lower range to continue dollar-cost averaging (DCA) |
SHORT Grid | Price moves below the lower range | Stops placing sell orders | To extend the lower range to continue taking profits |
SHORT Grid | Price moves above the upper range | Stops placing buy orders | To extend the upper range to hedge/DCA against the rising price |
🧭 Determining Your Optimal Range
Since grid bots are best suited for long-term, range-bound trading, the price range should be determined using longer-term charts (e.g., 1-day or 1-week).
Tools like technical indicators can help remove guesswork:
Example: Using Keltner Channels (1D Chart)
Applying a 50-period Keltner Channel with a high multiplier (e.g., 7) on a 1-day chart provides a wide band of potential movement.
For example, if ETH has a range of $5200 to $2200, this provides ample "breathing space" for the bot to operate.
Alternative Tools: Bollinger Bands or identifying major prior swing highs and swing lows on weekly charts are excellent methods for setting resilient boundaries.
💰 The Trade-Off Between Range and Cost
It is crucial to understand the relationship between your range and the cost of the bot:
Wider Range Requires More Grids: The wider your chosen price range is, the more individual grids are typically required to maintain an effective trading frequency (to keep the percentage profit per grid small but frequent).
Increased Cost: More grids require a higher minimum investment (margin) to ensure there is enough capital allocated for every buy and sell order.
To widen your range without significantly increasing the margin, you must reduce the number of grids, thereby increasing the profit/loss percentage between each trading step.
💡 Special Consideration: Trailing Grid Bots
While a Trailing Grid Bot (where the entire range moves up as the price rises) appears to be a favorable solution for long-term appreciation, note this critical constraint:
Trailing Grid Bots Lock the Range: Once activated, a trailing bot cannot have its upper and lower price range manually edited later. This is a significant factor to consider when choosing your initial bot type.
