What is grid trading?
Grid trading is a strategic tool used to automate buy and sell orders at preset intervals and price ranges. This feature is designed to help traders take advantage of small price fluctuations, particularly in volatile and sideways markets. You can customize and set grid parameters to define a range to profit from price volatility.
To help you build your own grid trading strategy, we provide recommended parameters in this article. These include the lower price limit, upper price limit, and grid count. Additionally, the AI and Popular parameters function simplifies the process, enabling the creation of a grid trading strategy with just one click.

How are AI parameters calculated?
To calculate the AI parameters, use the following formula:
Upper & Lower Price
- Upper Band = MA + BBM * Standard Deviation
- Lower Band = MA - BBM * Standard Deviation
For more information, please refer to Bollinger Bands (BB) Explained.
To calculate the Grid Number, use the following formula:
Grid Number = (1 + buffer) * (grid_upper_limit - grid_lower_limit) / ATR
Note:
- Buffer is currently set to 20%;
- ATR period selections are:
- For 7 days: use 30-minute candlesticks for the past 168 periods;
- For 30 days: use 1-hour candlesticks for the past 360 periods;
- For 180 days: use 2-hour candlesticks for the past 1080 periods;
- For more details, please refer to the Academy article What Is Average True Range?.
