Volatility-Ranked Multi-Asset Grid Trading for TradFi Perpetuals

Summary

This strategy scans traditional finance perpetual contracts and ranks them by average daily high-low range as a percentage of closing price. It selects the most volatile eligible markets, then builds proportional price grids around current prices. Grid orders open long positions as prices fall and take profit when prices recover to the next level, with completed grids restarting the cycle.

The system periodically rescans markets and uses a volatility hurdle to limit portfolio changes. It also describes per-grid allocation, order synchronization, and an account-level drawdown stop that cancels orders, closes positions, and halts trading. The document explains its design and configurable controls but provides no backtest or live performance evidence. Grid returns depend on repeated price reversals; persistent moves beyond the grid, weak liquidity, fees, slippage, and leverage can undermine results, and the global stop cannot remove all extreme-event risk.

Key ideas

• Markets are ranked by average daily range, and the highest-scoring eligible contracts are selected for grid trading.
• The grid repeatedly buys at lower levels and closes positions at higher levels.
• Periodic rescoring and a hysteresis threshold govern whether selected markets are replaced.
• A global equity drawdown limit can cancel orders, close positions, and stop the system.
• The approach is vulnerable to sustained one-way markets and trading costs.
