Futures Grid Glossary 


Futures Grid: The futures grid strategy is an automated trading strategy that involves buying low and selling high within a specific price range. Users simply need to set the upper and lower price limits, along with the number of grids, before activating the strategy.

Long Grid: Automatically buys low and sells high.  

Short Grid: Automatically sells high and buys low.  

AI Strategy: Directly utilizes grid strategy parameters recommended by the system's algorithms, which are based on backtesting of market conditions over 7, 30, and 180 days. 

Manual Creation: Set parameters and trigger conditions based on personal judgment of the fluctuating market range.  

 

Order Parameters  

Price Range: The range of highest and lowest prices within which buy and sell orders will be automatically executed. 

 

Grid Type

- Arithmetic Grid: The price difference between each adjacent order is equal (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4);  

- Geometric Grid: The price ratio between each adjacent order is equal (e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8).  

Grid Quantity: The number of divisions (or grid segments) into which the system splits the price range. 

Leverage Factor: The leverage factor used for futures trading in the strategy.  

Trigger Price: The price level at which grid trading is activated once the market price reaches it.

Margin Investment: The amount of capital allocated to the grid strategy, where the maximum usable margin is equal to the transferable balance in the contract account.

Take Profit/Stop Loss Price: The price level at which the strategy will be terminated once the market price is reached.

Single Grid Profit: The profit from a single grid is calculated by multiplying the price difference within the grid by the lesser of the quantities bought and sold in that range.

Available Margin: The funds available in the account for futures grid trading.  

Estimated Liquidation Price for Longs: The estimated price at which all long positions in the grid will be liquidated, assuming the maximum number of long contracts is open.

Estimated Liquidation Price for Shorts: The estimated price at which all short positions in the grid will be liquidated, assuming the maximum number of short contracts is open.

 

Profit and Loss Parameters  

Total Profit: The overall profit generated since the grid strategy began, calculated as the sum of Grid Profit and Floating Profit and Loss.

Grid Profit: The realized profit or loss from grid trading, representing the cumulative total of all grid pairing profits, minus any transaction fees.

Floating Profit and Loss: The unrealized profit or loss from positions currently held in the grid.

Annualized Return Rate: Total Profit / Initial Margin Investment / Operating Days * 365.
