Building a Robust Grid Trading Bot for Sideways Markets

Most traders lose money because they force trend trades in a ranging market. The Grid Bot is designed specifically for the "Chop."

How it Works

Imagine a fishing net.

  • You place buy orders every $100 down ($9900, $9800, $9700).
  • You place sell orders every $100 up ($10100, $10200, $10300).

As price wiggles, it triggers buys and sells, capturing the spread repeatedly.

Setting the Range

The key is defining the Top and Bottom.

  • Too Tight: You exit the grid too early.
  • Too Wide: Capital is spread too thin (low profit).

Use Support and Resistance levels to define your grid boundaries.

The "Infinity Grid"

Worried about the price mooning without you? The "Infinity Grid" keeps a small portion of BTC held to capture upside, while trading the volatility with the rest.
