Grid Trading Strategy Explained
Crypto markets trade sideways ("range") about 70% of the time. While most traders get bored and lose money forcing trades in a flat market, Grid Trading Bots thrive here.
How It Works
Imagine a net (grid) placed over the price chart.
- Price Drops: The bot buys small amounts at pre-set levels.
- Price Rises: The bot sells those specific amounts at a slightly higher level.
You earn the "spread" between every buy and sell line. It’s classic "buy low, sell high" executed hundreds of times a day.
Best Market Conditions
- Sideways/Ranging: The price bounces between $20k and $25k without breaking out.
- High Volatility: The more the price wiggles up and down, the more profit you make.
Setting It Up
- Identify the Range: Use Technical Analysis to find the Support (Floor) and Resistance (Ceiling).
- Set Grid Lines: More lines = more frequent trades but smaller profit per trade. Fewer lines = bigger profit per trade but waiting longer.
- Launch: Follow our Launch Guide.
Risk Management
The biggest risk is the price breaking out of your grid.
- If price dumps below your floor, you are left holding a bag of coin.
- If price moons above your ceiling, you sold everything early and hold only cash.
- Solution: Always set a Stop-Loss just outside your grid range.
Turn boring markets into cash flow machines.
