If you’ve launched a Grid Bot but want to improve its efficiency, this guide will help you optimize its settings. We’ll cover:
Analyzing historical data for better price range selection
Adjusting grid spacing to increase profitability
Using advanced features like expansion and trailing up
📌 Pro Tip: We've got a video guide that walks you through the process.
Watch it here:
1. Choosing the Right Price Range
The high and low price levels define where your bot will place orders. To optimize these:
Zoom out on the chart to view historical price action.
Set the high price at the recent resistance level.
Set the low price at a strong support level (avoid extreme lows).
💡 Example:
If BTC/USDT has been trading between $24,800 and $31,000, set these as the high and low prices.
If you expect further dips, enable "Expansion Down" and set a lower limit (e.g., $20,000).
2. Optimizing Grid Spacing
Grid spacing affects how often your bot places trades. Tighter grids = more trades, while wider grids = fewer trades but higher individual profit per trade.
How to optimize:
Stable markets → Use tighter grids to catch small fluctuations.
Volatile markets → Use wider grids to capture bigger price swings.
Use the Backtest feature to test different grid settings before going live.
✅ Try This: Adjust your grid step percentage to balance frequency and profitability.
3. Using Backtesting to Improve Performance
Before launching your bot, use the Backtest feature to simulate past performance.
Click Backtest to see how your settings would have performed.
Adjust the grid levels or price range if results are unsatisfactory.
If available, use the AI Optimize Tool to auto-adjust settings for better efficiency.
4. Activating Advanced Features
Enabled: The bot will automatically expand upwards if the price breaks resistance.
Disabled: The bot will stay within the defined grid range.
Protects the bot from inactivity if the price drops below the low grid level.
Set a reasonable lower limit (e.g., $20,000 for BTC) to prevent missed trades.
✅ Best Practice: Keep both Trailing Up and Expansion Down enabled for continuous adaptation to market changes.
5. Managing Expectations: Don’t Give Up Too Soon!
Grid bots work best over a longer timeframe (at least one month).
Avoid exiting too early—many traders accept losses too soon instead of letting the bot recover.
Patience is key—let the bot operate through market cycles.
💡 Remember: The Grid Bot is designed to run indefinitely and adapt to market trends.
Final Steps
Set your price range based on historical data.
Adjust grid spacing to match market conditions.
Backtest your bot before going live.
Enable advanced features like Trailing Up and Expansion Down.
Let the bot run long-term for optimal results.
🚀 Now that your Grid Bot is optimized, let it work for you! Happy trading!
