Why isn’t profit from initial sell orders recorded in the bot’s PnL?
Grid bots reinvest profit from the original sell orders placed when the bot starts. As a result:
You may see a sell order filled but no profit recorded for that specific order.
This is normal behavior—profit is accounted for in snapshots instead of separate PnL records.
If profit from these orders were recorded in PnL, it would duplicate reporting.
Why does my Futures Grid bot show a negative position on the exchange even when it’s generating profits?
The bot operates within the same position, using an average entry price. If an order is closed below this price, it may appear as a loss on the exchange, even though the bot is managing the position efficiently.
Example:
Step: 1%
Order Volume: $10
Open price: $1000 per contract
Opened position: $100
The price drops -1%, and the position increases to $110.
The price drops -2%, and the position increases to $120.
The price drops -3%, and the position increases to $130.
The price rises back to -2%, and the position is reduced to $120.
On the exchange, it may still appear as a loss, but in reality, the bot has improved its PnL by 1% of $10, resulting in a $1 improvement. The bot gradually optimizes its PnL as the market fluctuates. This highlights the importance of patience when using Grid bots.

What happens if the price moves beyond the bot’s trading range?
🔺 When the price is above the High price:
The bot stops trading unless Trailing Up is enabled.
If the bot cannot trade, it waits for the price to return below the High price.
Coins initially purchased by the bot at launch are sold at this point.
Trailing Up is only available for the Geometric bot.
🔻 When the price falls below the Low price:
The bot stops trading unless Trailing Down is enabled.
It waits for the price to return above the Low price.
All funds used to fund the bot initially are invested in the base currency.
Can I edit a Grid bot after it has been launched?
Yes! You can edit your bot settings. See this guide for more details.
Can I compound my earnings or automatically reinvest profits into the Grid bot?
No, profits are not automatically reinvested. To reinvest, close the bot and restart it with an increased investment.
Does the displayed profit include exchange fees?
Yes. The displayed net profit already accounts for trading fees, so no additional deductions are needed.
Can I export the Grid bot’s order table from my exchange?
Yes. Click on your bot’s name in the bot list view and export the order table.
Is it possible to set up a "Trailing Take Profit"?
No, but you can enable Trailing Up to continue trading if the price rises beyond the configured range.
Can I set up a Stop Loss for my Grid bot?
Yes. Grid bots support Stop Bot functions, but actions depend on:
Spot trading (without leverage)
Futures trading (with leverage)
If my Grid bot fails to place an order due to "Insufficient funds," will it retry?
Yes. The bot will attempt to place the order every 3 hours.
What does 'STD' mean on the Grid bot status bar?
"STD" represents:
Stop Trailing Down (for bots with the Trailing Down feature enabled)
Stop Expansion Down (for bots using the Expansion Down feature)
This indicates the price level where the bot halts further adjustments to its trading range.
