Auto Grid

Auto Grid Bots are available for USDT Futures and Coin Futures, and are capable of opening IN-orders in both directions — Long and Short. During the initial setup, you choose the direction only for the first IN-order.

Types of Auto Grid Bots

Last Order PNL — works based on two main rules:

  1. Direction based on the PNL of the previous IN-order:

  • If the PNL of the last closed IN-order is positive, the bot opens a new IN-order in the same direction (Long or Short).

  • If the PNL is negative, the bot opens an IN-order in the opposite direction.

  1. Restriction on opposite orders if an Out-stop is still open:

  • The bot will not open orders in the opposite direction if there is an unclosed Out-stop.

  • You can check for open Out-stops in the statistics section with the chart.


Avg Price — the bot determines the direction of new IN-orders based on the Average Price of the position:

  • If the current price is above the average price, the bot opens Long orders.

  • If the current price is below the average price, the bot opens Short orders.


Avg Price Inverse — also uses the average price, but works in reverse:

  • If the current price is above the average price, the bot opens Short orders.

  • If the current price is below the average price, the bot opens Long orders.


Key Notes & Recommendations

  • The bot builds a position against the price movement, taking advantage of small fluctuations that may not be visible on higher timeframes.

  • Be sure you fully understand the bot's logic before launching it.

  • Auto Grid bots are considered more versatile than Default bots and perform well in sideways markets. However, it may take time before they reach profitability.


Auto Grid Statistics Overview

In the summary statistics, you can see the number of open IN-orders in both directions:

  • "First / Last trigger" — for Long orders

  • "FirstS / LastS trigger" — for Short orders

During operation, the position may flip between Long and Short based on the dominant direction of active IN-orders. If Long and Short positions are equal, the net position is zero and won’t be displayed on the exchange — but it's visible in the bot’s statistics separately for each side.
