### What is Grid Trading?

Grid Trading allows you to buy and sell orders at predetermined price intervals. The range is divided into multiple levels forming a grid. You can select the number of levels according to your requirement.

The higher the number of levels more will be the trading frequency. This will also decrease the price difference between each level, i.e., the amount per grid, which reduces each order’s profit. Therefore you have to choose whether you want a higher number of trades to be executed with less profit or fewer trades with higher profit.

The buy and sell orders are set below and above the current price, respectively. As soon as a sell order is executed, you can place a buy order at a level below it. Similarly, if a buy order is executed, you can place a sell order at a level above it.

### Why use Grid Trading?

Grid Trading helps you make a profit from the ups and downs of an asset’s market price. They have proven to be one of the best trading strategies in a ranging sideways market.

### Grid Trading Bots

### Best Crypto Grid Trading Bots

#### Smart Grid Trading Bot

[Pionex Grid Trading Bots](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/pionex) allow you to automate grid trading strategies. You can set a price range and the number of grids. You have to select the percentage of funds you would like to allocate. They provide two types of Grid Trading Bot — “Use AI Strategy” and “Set Myself”.

1. **Use AI Strategy**  — The Pionex AI Advisor suggests a set of parameters calculated from backtesting the last seven days. The recommended price range and profit per grid is available for preview.

#### Reverse Grid Bot

[Pionex’s](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/pionex) Reverse Grid Bots allows you to store your assets when the price is dropping. Then it sells your assigned assets at the current level and repurchases them when the price drops. If according to your analysis, the price will drop, you should use Reverse Grid Bot.

You have to configure parameters- Price range, the number of grids, grid spacing setting (Arithmetic / Geometric), and the percentage of funds. Additionally, you can also set the optional features Trigger price, stop-loss price, and Close Bot at.

They don’t have a SHORT feature. If you would like to use the SHORT feature, you can use Leveraged Reverse bot or Margin Grid bot.

#### Infinity Grid Bot

[Pionex’s](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/pionex) Infinity Grid Bots are the premium version of Grid Trading Bot. They allow you to “buy

low and sell high.” The total number of assets remains the same while the price is increasing. You can set the range using percentage. There is no upper limit.

You have two options — “Use AI Strategy” and “Set Myself”.

1. Use AI Strategy- It is similar to the option Grid Trading Bot with some differences. The parameters are calculated by backtesting the last 30 days’ data. The Profit per grid is fixed at 0.6%.
2. Set Myself — You have to configure parameters such as Lower Limit Price and Profit per grid. The bot will stop trading if the price drops below the lower limit price.

#### Leveraged Grid Bot

Pionex’s Leveraged Grid Bot allows you to magnify your profit by leveraging your investment. [Pionex](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/pionex) combines the lending market to leverage the principal for a higher yield. Experienced traders use leveraged grid bots in up-trend market conditions.

You have to set parameters — lower limit, upper limit, grids, leverage, borrowable fund, daily interest, and estimated liquidation price. The borrowable fund is the fund available in the pionex pool for traders. The daily interest is dynamic according to the available borrowable fund. If the number of users using leveraged grid bot increases, the interest rate will increase and vice versa. The leverage can be fixed to 1.2X, 1.5X, and 2X.

#### Margin Grid Bot

You can lock up your funds as collateral. [Pionex](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/pionex) combines the grid trading strategy and the lending market without using your collateral for trading. The collateral is also different from Leveraged GRID Bot.

Experienced traders use margin Grid Bots to make a profit without risking their long-term holding position. They are also used by traders who try to short or long the market.

You have to set the lower and upper limit, leverage, grids, borrowable fund, daily interest, and estimated liquidation price. They provide four leverage options — 0.2X, 0.5X,1X, and 2X. The daily interest and the borrowable fund is similar to Leveraged Trading Bot.

### Bitsgap

[Bitsgap](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/bitsgap) offers grid trading bots. They allow you to set grid quantity, exchange, price, lower and upper price limit, and the percentage of funds you would like to allocate. Additionally, they also provide optional features — stop-loss, Take profit, and trailing up.

[Bitsgap](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/bitsgap) calculates the profit per grid by subtracting the price percentage per grid by trading fee percentage for both buying and selling.

For example, the grid spacing is 0.5%, and the trading fee is 0.1%. Then 0.2% will be deducted as a trading fee for buying and selling. Therefore, the profit percentage per grid is 0.3%.

They allow you to set the grid quantity and spacing, which directly affects the profit. The profit per grid tells you the profit you can make when buying and selling between the two grids minus the trading fee.

The grid quantity can be anything between four and ninety-nine. [Bitsgap](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/bitsgap) recommends adjusting your profit per grid between 0.5% and 2%.

The minimum investment needed to launch a bot depends on the parameters you have set. The minimum deposit is calculated based on Grid Quantity. Bitsgap calculates the minimum order size and the minimum order increment. The minimum order size restricts the amount that can be used by bots per order. The minimum order increment defines by what value bots can increase the amount.

For example, if your minimum order size is 10 USD and the minimum order increment is 2 USD. You can place orders for 10 USD, 12USD, and 14USD, but not for 8USD or 14.50USD.

The stop loss feature allows you to set the base currency when the price reaches the stop loss price condition. They help you to limit your losses. If trailing up is disabled, the stop loss is permanent; else, it becomes dynamic. Additionally, you can switch on and off the stop loss in active bots.

You have to set the price at which stop-loss should be executed. When it gets triggered, all open bot orders are canceled automatically. The bot sells the used base currency at the best available price via a market order. Additionally, [Bitsgap](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/bitsgap) removes the bot from active bots, and Bitsgap adds the data to the History tab.

### Quadency

[Quadency](https://blog.coincodecap.com/go/quadency) offers grid trading bots to automate grid trading strategies.

You have to configure the following parameters — the exchange, number of grids, the distance between the grids, amount per order, and the condition when the bot should stop working.

The higher the number of grids more, the higher the coverage and more investment will be required. You have four options to choose from when the price exits the grid-

1. **Recreate grid around exit price and continue trading**

This cancels all open orders and closes open positions with a market order. You can use this option if you have sufficient balance and recreate the grid when the price exits the grid.

1. **Cancel all options and stop the bot**

This cancels all the remaining open orders and stops the bot. This does not close any open positions. A position is open if it satisfies any of the following conditions-

1. The bot has bought quantity but has not sold the same amount.
2. The bot has sold but not back bought the same amount.
3. **Cancel all orders, close all positions and stop the bot.**

This option closes all positions and cancels the remaining open orders.

1. **Do nothing**

In this option, the bot stops working after all orders are filled. After the price enters the grid, the bot resumes trading. If the price never enters the grid, the orders remain open until they get canceled manually.
