Frequently Asked Questions

What fees are charged when using Grid Trading Bots?

Grid Trading Bots do not charge any additional bot-specific fees. You’ll only pay the standard trading fees that apply to each executed order, the same as when placing manual trades.

Are all orders placed by Grid Trading Bots limit orders?

Yes, Grid Trading Bots primarily use limit orders to place trades.

However, please note that using a limit order does not guarantee maker fees. Depending on market conditions and price movements, a limit order may be filled immediately against existing orders on the order book, in which case it would be treated as a taker order and incur taker fees.

Why was my grid order charged taker fees?

Although Grid Trading Bots always place limit orders, whether an order is executed as maker or taker depends on market conditions at the time the order is submitted.

• A limit order may be executed as a taker order in the following situations:

  • Rapid price movements If the market price moves quickly, a limit order may immediately match against existing orders in the order book.

  • Order price overlaps with the best available price When a limit order is placed at or better than the current best bid or ask, it may be filled instantly instead of resting on the order book.

  • Low market liquidity In markets with thinner order books, immediate execution is more likely.

  • Tight grid spacing or high order frequency Smaller grid intervals increase the chance of immediate matching.

• While taker executions cannot be eliminated entirely, you can minimize their frequency by:

  • Trading high-liquidity pairs(e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL).

  • Using wider grid spacing

  • Avoiding grid activation during high volatility.

  • Setting a reasonable price range that is not too close to the current market price

Does the Grid Bot guarantee profits?

No. Grid bots do not guarantee profits. You may lose some or all of your invested capital depending on market conditions, configuration, and other factors.

What happens if the price moves outside my grid range?

If the price moves above your upper limit or below your lower limit, the bot will not execute new trades until the price re-enters the range. Depending on your positions, this may result in unrealized losses.

What happens if the price range is set too wide?

Trade frequency decreases, but price differences between grid levels increase.

How do I choose the number of grids?

• High volatility → More grids

• Low volatility → Fewer grids

Users may consider historical volatility when configuring.

Can I stop the strategy at any time?

Yes. When stopping, you can choose whether to close all positions automatically or leave them open.

Why can't I trade manually in my bot subaccount?

When the bot is ON, manual trading is disabled to prevent conflicts between your orders and the bot's automated strategy. Turn the bot OFF if you need to trade manually.

Can I run multiple grids in one bot subaccount?

Yes. A single bot subaccount can contain multiple grids for different trading pairs. Each grid operates independently on its symbol. Note that take-profit and stop-loss settings apply to the entire subaccount, not individual grids.
