### **Step 2: Fund Your Bot**

Transfer funds to your bot subaccount using one of these methods:

* [Transfer funds from your main account](/exchange/deposit-and-withdraw/crypto/deposit/how-to-deposit.md#deposit-via-subaccounts)
* [Deposit from an external wallet into the subaccount](/exchange/deposit-and-withdraw/crypto/deposit/how-to-deposit.md)

***

### **Step 3: Select the Trading Pair**

1. Enter your **bot subaccount**.
2. Choose **Futures** Trading.
3. Select your target **trading pair** (e.g., SOL/USD).
4. **Adjust Leverage**
   * Account Leverage Limit sets the maximum leverage for **the current subaccount**. Changing it adjusts the initial margin for both open positions and new orders.
   * To use different leverage levels for different grids, create separate subaccounts under Bot Accounts to isolate risk.

3. Set the **Price Upper Limit：**&#x54;he highest price in your grid range.
4. Enter the **Number of Grids：**&#x48;ow many price levels to create within the range.
   * More grids = more frequent trades with smaller price differences between levels. Fewer grids = less frequent trades with larger price differences between levels.

* [**Trailing Up & Down**](/exchange/trading/trading-bots/perpetual-grid.md#trailing-up-and-down)\
  Automatically shift the grid range as the price moves beyond the upper or lower bounds, up to the trailing limits.
* **Grid Trigger Price**\

## Bot Management

### **Understanding Grid ON/OFF States**

The **ON/OFF toggle** controls whether the grid is actively trading in this market.

<table><thead><tr><th width="223.9998779296875">State</th><th width="519.5556640625">What Happens</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>ON</td><td>The bot actively executes trades according to your grid configurations.<br><strong>Important:</strong> You cannot manually trade a grid-enabled market while the grid is ON.</td></tr><tr><td>OFF</td><td>The bot stops executing new orders. Existing pending orders remain but can be cancelled manually. You can trade manually in the subaccount.</td></tr></tbody></table>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1790800155-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3kiM6CAFBZoTCJcZ8X7k%2Fuploads%2FtR4fXSn62apZp2VxHUwr%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a7387c7f-9114-4150-8675-90c6af1f4126" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

> ⚠️ **Manual Trading Restriction:** You cannot manually place orders for a market while its grid is **ON**. Turn the grid **OFF** first if you need to trade that market manually.
