▫️How it works?
A Crypto Grid Trading Bot operates on a principle known as grid trading. This strategy involves placing a series of buy and sell orders within a predefined price range. The bot creates a grid of orders at incrementally increasing and decreasing prices around the current market price and executes these orders as the market fluctuates. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how it works:
Setting the Grid: The trader defines a price range for the bot to operate in and selects the number of grids or intervals within this range. Each grid level will have a buy and a sell order.
Executing Trades: When the price drops and hits a buy order, the bot executes the purchase. Conversely, when the price rises and hits a sell order, the bot executes a sell.
Following Strategies: The bot can employ various strategies like Trend Following, Mean Reversion, Scalping, Market Making, or Arbitrage. Depending on the chosen strategy, it will adjust its buy and sell orders to maximize profit potential:
Trend Following: The bot buys as the price trends upward and sells as it trends downward, capitalizing on the general market movement.
Mean Reversion: The bot anticipates that the price will return to its average over time, so it buys when the price is below the average and sells when it's above.
Scalping: Involves rapid and frequent trades to take advantage of small price changes, requiring a bot to react quickly.
Market Making: The bot continuously places buy low and sell high orders to profit from the bid-ask spread.
Arbitrage: The bot takes advantage of price discrepancies across different exchanges by buying low on one and selling high on another.
Profit Target and Stop Loss: Traders can set a profit target at which the bot will stop trading and take profits. A stop loss can also be set to limit potential losses.
Automatic Reinvestment: When a sell order is filled, the bot uses the proceeds to place a new buy order at a lower grid level. When a buy order is filled, it places a new sell order at a higher grid level, maintaining the grid structure.
Continuous Operation: The bot operates 24/7, constantly monitoring the market and executing trades according to the set rules, without the need for the trader to monitor the market continuously.
