Grid Trading Mode: Configuring and Maintaining Spot Order Grids
Summary
Grid Trading Mode maintains buy and sell orders at configured price intervals, aiming to capture repeated small price movements in sideways markets. The guide describes it as a simplified form of staggered-order trading and says the mode can be set up separately for each trading pair or run with default settings.
Users can configure order size, price spacing, fund limits, and an initial reference price. The grid can move with the market when price leaves its range, and the system can allocate newly deposited funds, delay replacement orders after a fill, or adjust holdings to establish a grid. It supports spot trading and includes controls for pausing mirrored orders. The guide gives a feature overview rather than performance evidence; it does not explain how to choose grid parameters or address losses when prices trend persistently in one direction.
Key ideas
- Grid trading places buy and sell orders at configured price intervals to trade repeated price swings.
- The mode supports per-pair settings, custom starting prices, fund limits, and specified order sizes.
- The grid can follow prices beyond its current range and handle newly deposited funds.
- The guide lists features but provides no performance data or detailed parameter-selection method.
