Professional Grid Trading Strategy

An automated grid trading tool for spot and futures markets.


Overview

Grid trading is a method that automatically buys low and sells high during price fluctuations. This strategy divides the price range into multiple grids, automatically buying when price drops to a grid level and selling when it rises, repeatedly capturing profits from market volatility.

This strategy has been refactored with a modular design, featuring clean and clear code, supporting both spot and perpetual futures markets.


Features

Flexible Grid Configuration

  • Arithmetic Grid: Fixed price difference per grid, suitable for narrow-range oscillation
  • Geometric Grid: Fixed percentage per grid, suitable for wide-range volatility
  • Multiple Directions: Long, short, or bidirectional options

Diverse Position Sizing

  • Equal Sizing: Same quantity per grid, evenly distributed risk
  • Martingale: Buy more as price drops, suitable for bottom fishing
  • Anti-Martingale: Buy less as price drops, controls downside risk
  • Pyramid: Larger positions in the middle, smaller at the edges

Comprehensive Risk Control

  • Stop Loss: Automatic handling when loss reaches threshold
  • Take Profit: Option to secure gains when profit target is met
  • Drawdown Protection: Triggers when profit drops too much from peak
  • Position Limit: Prevents overexposure in trending markets
  • Price Range: Restricts grid operation within defined boundaries

Smart Operations

  • Dynamic Orders: Only places real orders when price approaches, reducing API usage
  • Auto Move: Automatically re-grids when price deviates from grid range
  • Idle Move: Adjusts grid position after prolonged inactivity
  • Real-time Dashboard: Displays positions, P&L, grid status and key metrics

Convenient Controls

  • Close All: Flatten positions and stop strategy
  • Pause/Resume: Temporarily halt trading
  • Emergency Close: Quick market liquidation
  • Reset Grid: Rebuild grid positions

Use Cases

Market Condition Recommended Usage
Sideways Market Bidirectional grid to capture oscillations
Bullish Trend Long grid, add on dips
Bearish Trend Short grid (futures), add on rallies

Important Notes

  • Grid strategies perform better in ranging markets; trending markets may cause significant floating losses
  • Futures trading involves leverage, which amplifies both gains and losses
  • Recommend testing on paper trading first, then start with small capital
  • Please set stop loss according to your risk tolerance
