A Futures Grid Strategy Anchored to Its Starting Price

Summary

This basic Binance futures grid method records an initial reference price when it starts. It places a short-side order when price is above that anchor and a long-side order when price is below it, using a configurable order value and grid spacing. The program periodically refreshes account and position information, cancels outstanding orders, and recalculates buy and sell prices around the reference while accounting for the current position amount.

The document provides implementation settings and account monitoring details, but no performance results or risk analysis. The source says it cannot be backtested in its stated environment and is restricted to Binance futures swaps. Leverage and margin exposure are material considerations; the grid’s fixed anchor, order handling, fees, funding, and strong directional price moves can all affect outcomes. The code is described as a basic version intended for modification, so the trading logic and operational behavior should be assessed before use.

Key ideas

• The strategy stores a reference price at startup and retains it as the grid anchor.
• It places short-side orders above the anchor and long-side orders below it.
• Order value and grid spacing are configurable, and order prices account for the open position amount.
• The published implementation targets Binance futures swaps and states that it cannot be backtested in its environment.
• No evidence of profitability is provided, and leverage, funding, fees, and directional moves affect risk.
