How to use auto parameters in Spot grid trading

Spot grid trading is a tool to help investors optimize profits on every small fluctuation of the market. However, not everyone knows how to use automatic parameters in Spot grid trading, especially for new investors in the market.

What is grid trading?

Grid trading is a tool that automates buy or sell orders for a certain period of time and a configured price range. This feature will help users profit from small fluctuations in price. It is most effective when the market is volatile and sideways.

You can customize and set parameters for the grid to determine the profit area from price movements for your purpose and financial ability.

Note: Only 1 grid strategy can be built for each trading pair, and you can only build up to 10 grid strategies.

How to calculate auto parameters?

In order to have effective grid transactions, you need to know the relevant parameters to manage the risk level of each strategy.

Lower price and upper price

Lower price: The bottom of the grid trading price bracket. The system will no longer execute orders when the market price is lower than the Lower Price.

Upper Price: The top o the grid trading price bracket. The system will no longer execute orders when the market price is higher than the Upper Price.

Upper band = MA + BBM * Standard deviation
Lower band = MA – BBM * Standard deviation

For example: MA = $300, BBM = $400, standard deviation = 0.5

Upper range = 300 + 400*0.5 = $500
Lower band = 300 – 400*0.5 = $200

Grid number

Grid number = (Upper limit – lower limit)/ATR*

* Average True Range (ATR) in previously predefined hours of the selected symbol.

For example: The upper limit is $600, the lower limit is $200. ATR is 20.

So we have: grid number = (600 – 200)/ 20 = 20
