What Is a Grid Bot?
A Grid Bot is an automated trading tool that executes buy and sell orders within a predefined price range. It divides that range into multiple "grids" (price levels) and automatically places orders at each level—buying at lower prices and selling at higher prices.
Grid bots are typically used in range-bound markets where prices oscillate within a defined range. Performance depends entirely on market conditions and configuration—grid bots do not guarantee profits and may result in losses.
Key Features
Automated Execution — Trades execute automatically based on your configured parameters, with no manual order placement required.
Two-Way Trading — The bot places buy orders at lower grid levels and sell orders at higher levels.
Flexible Configuration — Customize price ranges, grid count, investment amount, and other parameters to match your strategy.
Real-Time Monitoring — View bot status, executed orders, positions, and accumulated profits at any time.
Secure Operation — Strategies run entirely within the exchange environment. No API keys are required, minimizing operational risk.
Understanding the Bot Hierarchy
Before setting up your bot, it's important to understand how bots and grids are organized:
Bot
Subaccount
A bot operates at the subaccount level. One bot = one subaccount dedicated to automated trading.
Grids
Symbol
Within a bot subaccount, you create grids for specific trading pairs (e.g., SOL/USD, BTC/USD). Each grid operates independently on its symbol
Example: You create a bot subaccount called "My Grid Bot." Within that bot, you can set up a SOL/USD grid and a BTC/USD grid—each with its own price range, grid count, and investment amount.
Tip: Hover over any parameter in the interface to see its tooltip for additional guidance.
Risk Warnings
Market Risks
No Guarantee of Profit — Grid bots do not guarantee returns. Users may lose some or all of their invested capital.
Market Conditions — Grid strategies are designed for range-bound markets. Trending markets, breakouts, or unexpected volatility can result in significant losses.
Liquidation Risk — When using leverage or futures grids, price movements may trigger liquidation or forced closure, resulting in loss of funds.
Extreme Volatility — Sharp price swings or low liquidity can cause slippage, execution delays, order failures, or strategy invalidation.
Technical Risks
Exchange-Side Issues — While your local network doesn't affect the bot (it runs on the exchange), exchange system instability may temporarily interrupt strategy execution.
⚠️ Disclaimer: Trading bots involve significant risk. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This documentation explains how the feature works and does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to use this product.
