Trading Bots

What is a Grid Bot?

A grid bot is an automated trading strategy that places multiple buy and sell orders at preset price intervals within a range. It profits from price oscillations without needing to predict market direction — essentially automating "buy low, sell high" across a grid of price levels.

How Grid Bots Work

The Basic Concept

Price Range: $90 - $110
Grid Levels: 5
Investment: $1,000

     $110 ─── SELL order ($200)
     $105 ─── SELL order ($200)
     $100 ─── Current price
     $95  ─── BUY order ($200)
     $90  ─── BUY order ($200)

When price drops to $95 → BUY executes
When price rises back to $100 → SELL executes → Profit captured

The bot continuously places orders above and below the current price. As the price moves up and down within the range, orders fill and the bot captures the difference as profit.

When Grid Bots Work Best

Condition	Grid Bot Performance
Sideways/ranging market	✅ Ideal — frequent fills, steady profits
High volatility within range	✅ Good — more trading opportunities
Strong trending market	⚠️ Poor — price breaks out of range
Low volatility	⚠️ Poor — few orders fill, capital sits idle

Key insight: Grid bots profit from prices bouncing within a range, not from predicting direction. They work best in choppy, sideways markets.

How Grid Bots Are Organised

Grid bots operate at the subaccount level, providing isolation from other trading activity:

User Account
  └─► Subaccount (dedicated to grid trading)
        └─► Automation / Bot (one per subaccount)
              ├─► Grid 1: SOL_USDC (own range, levels, allocation)
              ├─► Grid 2: ETH_USDC (own range, levels, allocation)
              └─► Grid 3: BTC_USDC (own range, levels, allocation)

Key points:

• One subaccount = one bot (automation)

• One bot can run multiple grids across different symbols

• All grids within a bot share the same SL/TP settings

• Grid trading is isolated from manual trading in other subaccounts

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.
