What is Futures Grid?
Futures grid strategy is an automated trading strategy that involves buying low and selling high within a specific price range. Users only need to set the highest and lowest prices within the range and determine the number of grids to be divided. The strategy will calculate the buy and sell prices for each small grid, automatically place orders, and continuously generate profits by buying low and selling high or selling high and buying low based on market fluctuations.
Applicable Scenarios for Futures Grid
The core concept of futures grid trading is "arbitrage through oscillation." Therefore, it is suitable to use futures grids when predicting a prolonged period of market oscillation. Additionally, futures grids can have certain directional biases. For example, a long grid will only open long positions and close long positions, making it suitable for upward oscillation markets. Conversely, a short grid will only open short positions and close short positions, making it suitable for downward oscillation markets. Neutral grids are positioned above the market price at strategy initiation for shorting/closing shorts and below the market price for longing/closing longs. Users can select the appropriate type of grid based on their judgment of specific market conditions.
Steps to Create a Futures Grid
(1) Enter the Futures Grid in the Strategy Center, or click on the Futures Robot from the futures trading page and select Futures Grid.
(2) Choose the trading pair. Currently, all futures trading pairs support grid trading.
(3) Select the strategy type and create.
AI Intelligent Strategy: Simply select the direction, enter the margin amount, choose the leverage multiplier, and create the grid.
Manual Configuration Strategy: Select the direction, set the price range and grid count, enter the margin amount, choose the leverage multiplier, and create the grid.
(4) Once created, you can view and manage the grid strategy in the "Strategies" section at the bottom of the trading page.
(5) The grid profit generated during the strategy's operation will serve as the strategy's margin. Users can stop the strategy at any time, and all profits will be automatically transferred to the futures account upon stopping the strategy.
Explanation of Futures Grid Parameters
(1) Lowest Price: The lower limit of the price range for grid trading. When the market price falls below the lowest price, no further order execution will take place.
(2) Highest Price: The upper limit of the price range for grid trading. When the market price exceeds the highest price, no further order execution will take place.
(3) Arithmetic Grid: The price difference between each adjacent order in the grid is equal (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4).
(4) Geometric Grid: The ratio between each adjacent order in the grid is equal (e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8).
(5) Grid Count: The number of small order intervals divided within the oscillation range. For example, a range of 100-400 with an arithmetic grid and 3 grid counts would be divided into three small intervals: 100-200, 200-300, and 300-400.
(6) Margin: The funds invested in the grid strategy. The invested funds will be segregated from the futures account and used exclusively within the grid strategy.
(7) Leverage: The leverage multiplier used for futures trading within the strategy.
(8) Trigger Price: When the price reaches the set trigger price, the grid trading will be activated. This parameter can be left unset. For long grids, if unset, the first long position will be immediately bought at the market price. For short grids, if unset, the first short position will be immediately bought at the market price.
(9) Take Profit/Stop Loss Price: When the price reaches this level, the strategy will automatically stop and close the position at the market price.
(10) Take Profit/Stop Loss Percentage: When the total profit reaches the set percentage, the strategy will automatically stop and close the position at the market price.
(11) Estimated Liquidation Price: The estimated liquidation price assuming all long/short positions in the grid are filled, and the maximum number of long/short positions are opened.
Note:
(1) If the market price exceeds the upper/lower limit of the grid range, the program will cease operations. If the price continues to trend in one direction without returning to the grid range, the held positions may incur floating losses or even face liquidation risks. Therefore, it is recommended to set stop loss prices at reasonable positions on both sides of the grid to facilitate timely stop-loss actions.
(2) The funds invested in the grid strategy will be segregated from the futures account and used exclusively within the grid strategy. Users should be aware of the risks associated with funds being transferred out of the account and its impact on the overall position.
(3) Currently, a maximum of 20 grid strategies can be activated. It is not possible to create new strategies beyond this limit.
(4) There are several states in which the grid runs, which can be viewed on the strategy details page:
Pending: The grid has been created but has not reached the trigger price;
Running: The grid has been triggered and is running normally;
Stopped but not Closed: The strategy has stopped running, but the held futures positions have not been closed. Users need to manually close them;
Manually Terminated: The user manually terminates the grid strategy and closes all positions;
Take Profit/Stop Loss Terminated: The strategy automatically stops and closes positions when the take profit/stop price is triggered;
Liquidation Terminated: The futures position reaches the liquidation price and is forcibly liquidated by the system.
(5) Grid profit = Price difference per grid * Quantity per grid * Completed sell orders. From the profit formula, it can be seen that the premise for grid profitability is that the token price remains within the price range you set. The key to increasing profit lies in increasing the number of transactions and the profit per grid. When the total funds are fixed, having too many grids will decrease the price difference and the quantity per grid, reducing the profit per transaction. Therefore, adjusting the number of grids appropriately is crucial for increasing profit.
(6) The platform supports copying strategies. Users can go to the strategy marketplace to select their preferred strategy to follow. By default, when users publish a strategy, it participates in the strategy market ranking and allows others to replicate it. Users can manually disable this feature on the strategy homepage.
(7) If a futures grid strategy does not generate a transaction for more than 72 hours, it will be automatically hidden from the strategy hall.
