What is Grid Trading?
Grid trading is a trading strategy that automatically places buy and sell orders at predefined price levels within a set range.
This method involves creating a grid of orders that capitalize on normal price fluctuations by buying low and selling high.
It's particularly effective in volatile markets where these price movements are more frequent, allowing traders to profit from price changes without predicting market direction.
Price Range: The operational interval of the GridBot, which is evenly divided into a user-specified number of grids.
Number of Grids: The number of grids determines how many parts the price range will be evenly divided into.
Capital Allocation Per Grid: The amount of capital invested in each grid, initially containing only one type of asset per grid.
Automated Trading Cycle: Within each grid, buy or sell orders are automatically placed. When an order is executed, the GridBot smart contract automatically places a reverse order (a sell order follows an executed buy order, and vice versa), always adhering to the low buy high sell rule. This process of buying low and selling high repeats as prices fluctuate, thereby generating profit.
Transparency and Security: The strategy is implemented through smart contracts, ensuring all operations are publicly transparent.
Nothing is perfect, also this trading bot. There are some main downsides:
Range limit: this bot tends to work better when the trend is unclear, as price fluctuates in a small range. If the price goes outside, it’s hard to be profitable.
Technical glitches: If Full Platform Market Maker is not properly maintained, this trading bot cannot sustain profitability.
