What Is Grid Trading?
Grid trading automatically places buy and sell orders at regular intervals around a specific price. Imagine a grid: at every grid level, there's an order. When the price drops, it buys. When it rises again, it sells. The result: many small profits that add up over time.
When Does Grid Trading Work?
Grid trading is perfect for sideways markets — when the price oscillates within a range. BTC between 65,000 and 70,000? Ideal. The bot buys at 65,500, 66,000, 66,500... and sells at 67,000, 67,500, 68,000. Every price swing generates profit.
When Does It NOT Work?
In strong trends. If BTC drops from 65,000 to 50,000, the grid bot keeps buying all the way down — and ends up with a massive unrealized loss. That's why a stop loss is mandatory even with grid trading.
Grid Trading vs. DCA
DCA buys consistently regardless of what happens. Grid trading buys and sells within a defined range. DCA is designed for long-term wealth building, while grid trading targets short-term profit-taking in sideways phases. Both strategies can complement each other.
