Plan a spot grid trading strategy: set the price range, grid count and capital, then see each grid level, profit per grid and total return.

Total profit assumes the price moves through every grid and each buy is sold at the grid above. It does not account for fees or adverse price action.
A spot grid strategy splits a price range into a ladder of equally spaced buy and sell levels. The bot keeps small orders at each level: when the price falls to a level it buys, and when it rises one level it sells that position for a small profit. Over many oscillations, these small wins accumulate into a steady return — as long as the price keeps moving inside your range.
Grid trading places a ladder of buy and sell orders across a price range. Every time the price drops to a grid line the bot buys, and when it rises to the next line it sells that position for a small profit. Repeated cycles capture profit from price oscillation.
An arithmetic grid divides the price range into equal absolute steps, so each grid earns the same USDT profit. A geometric grid divides the range into equal percentage steps, so each grid earns the same percentage return and the spacing widens as the price rises.
Grids profit from oscillation, not from a directional trend. In a ranging market the price keeps crossing grid lines, triggering repeated buy-sell cycles. In a strong uptrend you are left with an increasing inventory that has not been sold, and in a downtrend the price may exit the range.
Pick a range where you expect the price to stay for the life of the strategy. Too narrow and the price will break out of the range quickly; too wide and the capital is spread across many grids, reducing the profit of each cycle. A common approach is to base the range on recent support and resistance levels.
If the price falls below your lower bound you end up holding the full inventory at a loss until the market recovers. If it rises above the upper bound, the inventory is sold early and you miss further upside. Fees also eat into the small per-grid profit, so tighter grids are more sensitive to trading costs.
