Parameter Description

Spot Grid

Price Range: The Spot Grid strategy operates within a specific price range, and trading will halt if the price moves beyond the operating range.
Low Range Price: The lowest price for executing buy orders, where no further purchases will be made below the operating range.
High Range Price: The highest price for executing sell orders. No further sales occur if the price exceeds this range. Together, these define the Grid trading boundaries.
No. of Placed Orders: The total number of buy and sell orders placed. This determines the Grid interval for setting buy/sell levels.
Grid Interval: Calculated as (High Range Price - Low Range Price) / No. of Placed Orders, this determines the price difference between placed orders. For instance, in the BTC/USDT trading pair, if the low range is set at 8,000 USDT and the high range at 12,000 USDT with 4 placed orders, the Grid interval is calculated as (12,000-8,000)/4 = 1,000. The order prices would be 8,000 USDT, 9,000 USDT, 10,000 USDT, 11,000 USDT, and 12,000 USDT, making up 5 levels.
Profits/Grid: The average profit from each Grid after completing arbitrage, with transaction fees deducted.
Total Investment: The amount of capital allocated for Grid trading. Upon starting a Spot trade, funds will be automatically transferred to the bot account and back once the trading concludes.
Stop Loss Price (Advanced Settings): The lowest price you're willing to tolerate for the traded asset. If the asset's price falls below this level, the bot will automatically sell the asset to prevent further losses and protect your investment.
Take Profit Price (Advanced Settings): The desired closing price for your trade. If the asset's price exceeds this level, the bot will automatically close the position to lock in profits.
Entry Price (Trigger Entry Price, Advanced Settings): The desired initial buying price. By default, the bot will start trading at the current price. You can set a specific entry price for the bot's first purchase.
Grid APR: The profit earned by the bot through its buy low and sell high strategy. Grid Profit = Single Grid Price Difference * Quantity Bought per Grid * Number of Completed Sell Orders.
Unrealized PNL: Calculated as (Current Price of Base Coin - Average Purchase Price) * Quantity of Base Coin Held, this determines the profit or loss from positions that have not yet been closed due to price fluctuations. Note: In trading pairs like BTC/USDT, BTC is the base coin.
Total Profit = Realized Profit + Unrealized PNL.
APR = (Total Profit / Total Investment) / Number of Days Running * 365 days.
Grid APR = (Grid Profit / Total Investment) / Number of Days Running * 365 days.
Break-Even: The price at which neither profit nor loss occurs. The break-even price is calculated after the Grid buy/sell and will be updated after the Grid order execution and position changes.
Increase: Refers to an additional amount of investment.
Price Range Notification: An automatic notification sent by the bot when the price moves outside the set range.
Suspend Bot: When the bot is suspended, all pending orders are canceled, and trading is halted. During this period, take profit and stop loss mechanisms won't activate.
Grid profit Reinvestment: This function involves the bot reinvesting the Grid profit earned back into Grid trading. This approach aims to achieve compound growth over time.

Why is the Unrealized PNL negative when the entry price is lower than the current price?

Many people who are new to Grid trading might be puzzled by this phenomenon. Evidently, if an entry price is lower than the current price, the floating profit should be positive. So, why does it show as negative?

To address this confusion, we first need to understand two basic concepts:

Unrealized PNL = (Current Price of Base Coin - Average Purchase Price) * Quantity of Base Coin Held

Entry Price: The price at which the first transaction was made when setting up the Grid bot.

Upon understanding this, it becomes clear that floating profit isn't simply a comparison between the entry price and the current market price. The key lies in the "Average Purchase Price".

Let's clarify this by using the XXX/USDT trading pair as an example:

Parameters:

Price when strategy was created: 3 USDT

Grid set price range: 3-10 USDT

Price difference per Grid: 1 USDT

Upon Grid creation:

When the current price of XXX/USDT is 3 USDT and the average purchase price is also 3 USDT, the floating PNL, according to the formula, is zero. After some time, during the operation of the Grid, the price of XXX/USDT rises from the initial 3 USDT to 10 USDT and then falls back to 4 USDT.

During this period, as the price rises from 3 USDT to 10 USDT, the bot will sell at each 1 USDT increment, resulting in Grid profits at 4 USDT, 5 USDT, and so on up to 10 USDT. As the price drops from 10 USDT to 4 USDT, the bot will buy at each 1 USDT decrement.

Thus, during the price drop, with the bot buying at six different price points, the average holding price can be calculated as 6.5 USDT. Since this average holding price is higher than the current market price of 4 USDT for XXX/USDT, the floating PNL is naturally negative.

By now, it should be clear that floating PNL isn't just a comparison between the bot's entry price and the current market price. The system calculates the average price at which the bot bought for us after its creation, and the mystery is solved.

Why do Grid profits vary?

Sometimes, you might notice that not every arbitrage Grid profit is the same. The difference between Grid profits can even be tens of times. This depends on the price range, the number of Grids, and the entry price. Essentially, the first sale of each Grid matches the entry price, but the second sale of the Grid matches the price of the previous order. Therefore, the profit difference between the first and second sale of the Grid can be very large.

For instance, in the XXX/USDT trading pair, with an entry price of 3 USDT, a Grid interval of 1 USDT, a single Grid purchase quantity of 1, and sell orders at 4 USDT/5 USDT/6 USDT/7 USDT/8 USDT... up to 30 USDT:

When the XXX/USDT price first rises to 25 USDT, the first Grid sale matches the entry price of 3 USDT, resulting in a profit of 25 USDT - 3 USDT = 22 USDT.

Then, if the XXX/USDT price bounces back to 24 USDT and rises again to 25 USDT, the second Grid sale matches the previous order's price of 24 USDT, not the entry price. The profit for this Grid is 25 USDT - 24 USDT = 1 USDT.

Next, if the XXX/USDT price continues to rise to 28 USDT, the first time it reaches the 28 USDT sell order, it will match the entry price of 3 USDT, resulting in a profit of 28 USDT - 3 USDT = 25 USDT.

It's evident that during this price change, the three Grids' respective sale profits were 22 USDT, 1 USDT, and 25 USDT. The difference between the lowest and highest Grid profit is 25 times, which is normal. Now that we understand this, let's get started with practical operations!

Futures Grid

Leverage: The available leverage options range from 1 to 10.

Low Range Price: The lowest buy price (for long positions) or sell price (for short positions) for Grid trading. If the price drops below this, no further buying (for long) or selling (for short) will occur.
High Range Price: The highest sell price (for long positions) or buy price (for short positions) for Grid trading. If the price goes above this, no further selling (for long) or buying (for short) will occur. The combination of the low and high range prices defines the price range for Grid trading.
No. of Placed Orders: The total number of buy and sell orders placed. This determines the Grid interval for setting buy/sell levels.
Grid Interval: Calculated as (High Range Price - Low Range Price) / No. of Placed Orders, this determines the price difference between placed orders.

Auto-Rebalance: Whenever the ratio of a certain coin type to your overall assets exceeds a certain threshold, smart rebalancing will be triggered. For example, if the threshold is 1% and the initial BTC ratio is 3%, when BTC's ratio in the total assets is higher than 4% or lower than 2%, a buy low and sell high action will be triggered to maintain the original asset ratio. The smaller the threshold, the more frequent the rebalancing.
Rebalance by Coin Ratio: Whenever the ratio of a certain coin type to your overall assets exceeds a certain threshold, smart rebalancing will be triggered.
Rebalance by Time: At fixed intervals, the Smart Rebalance bot will engage in buying low and selling high to ensure that the ratio of positions in your portfolio remains constant.

Take Profit By Ratio: The maximum profit percentage you aim for in your Smart Rebalance portfolio. When the profit percentage of the Smart Rebalance portfolio reaches the set take-profit percentage, the bot will automatically sell assets to lock in profits. You can also choose to only be notified and not sell automatically.
