Grid Trading Basics

A Bullish GRID Assist is a trading strategy that sets up buy and sell orders within a specific price range, expecting an upward market trend. Key features include:

  • Trailing Up capability

  • Downward Price Protection

  • Profits from price fluctuations as market rises

A Bearish GRID Assist is designed to profit from downward trending markets. Key features include:

  • Trailing Down capability

  • Upward Price Protection

  • Profits from price fluctuations as market falls

AI Setup uses artificial intelligence to analyze historical market data and automatically set up grid parameters, including price range and intervals between orders. It's ideal for new traders or those preferring an automated approach.

Manual Setup allows traders to personally define all grid parameters, including price range and intervals. It offers more control but requires deeper market understanding.

Grid Configuration

  • Arithmetic mode: Each grid has equal price difference (constant absolute price difference)

  • Geometric mode: Each grid has equal price ratio difference (constant percentage difference)

Example: In a geometric grid with range 1000-1500 and 10 grid lines, the percentage difference remains constant at 4.14% between each level, while the absolute difference increases with price.

  • Upper Stop Price: Automatically stops and closes the grid when price reaches a specified upper level

  • Lower Stop Price: Works similarly but for downward price movements

Start Conditions:

  • Instant (Default): Grid starts immediately after creation

  • Price Trigger: Grid activates when the asset reaches a specified price

  • TradingView Alert: Grid initiates when receiving a specific signal from TradingView

Stop Conditions:

  • Manual Stop (Default): You stop the grid manually

  • TradingView Alert: Grid stops when receiving a sell/close signal from TradingView

Grid Performance Metrics

Current Value = Investment + Total PnL

Investment = Total funds initially committed to the grid.

Realized profit is the sum of all closed transactions. The percentage is calculated as: Realized profit % = (realized profit × 100) / investment

For Bearish grid: Cancel all buy orders and buy profit currency at market price + the amount of all canceled sell orders. Then compare this value with investment.

For Bullish grid: Cancel all sell orders and sell the base currency at market price + the amount of canceled buy orders. Then compare this value with investment.

A transaction is only created when both Buy and Sell orders are routed. If only Buy orders or only Sell orders have been routed, no transaction will be created yet.
