How do I manually set up spot grid trading bots?

Published on 4 Sept 2025Updated on 21 Oct 20257 min read

The Spot grid bot helps you automate trading by placing buy and sell orders at preset price levels within a defined range. Once you set the upper and lower limits, the bot buys when prices fall to a grid line and sells when they rise—capturing profits from normal market fluctuations without constant monitoring.

You can configure your grid parameters manually for full control or let the AI strategy handle it for you using backtested data and historical price movements. The latest version now supports up to 500 grids—an upgrade from the previous 300—powered by a dynamic order-hanging mechanism, smarter front-end prompts, and clearer visual guidance, all while maintaining a clean and intuitive interface.

How can I set the trading bot?

Our crypto trading bot allows you to manually determine the grid parameters. This approach can offer greater user control. Learn how to set it below:

  1. Enter the upper and lower price bounds for your desired trading range. Then, enter the number of grids you'd like to fill the range. This will determine the size of the buy and sell orders the bot creates. Next, enter the total amount you want to open a position with and select the relevant cryptocurrency.
    Note: there's also an option to set how the grid is spaced. Arithmetic will position each grid line at fixed price intervals. Meanwhile, Geometric sets the grids using a fixed percentage from the current price, resulting in widening grids further out from the starting price.

  2. When you've configured the grid bots parameters, select Create. A confirmation pop-up page will appear and you have to select Confirm to proceed.

  3. In the advance settings, you have the option to add a price at which to take profit from your trade or stop loss. This option may be useful if the asset price increases or decreases beyond the range you set, and they essentially exit your position either in profit or loss to limit further price fluctuations.

  4. Enter your SL/TP levels, check the trade details and select Confirm to deploy the spot grid trading bot

  5. You can check your open positions in the Bots tab on the main trading dashboard. Clicking on the Bot will show additional information about trade, including open orders and trade history. Selecting Stop in the extended options will stop the bot

    Select your open positions in the Ongoing tab and select More

    Once the More menu loads up, select Stop to exit it

How many grids are available for me to use?

Previously, only up to 300 grids were supported. Now you can set up to 1,000 grids.

What's the Edit Parameters feature and why should I use it?

Edit Parameters feature is designed to give users greater flexibility and control. By using it, it allows you to:

  • Adjust your grid bot setting, such as the upper and lower range, or the grid quantity, on-the-fly — without having to close and reopen new bots.

  • Better respond to changing market conditions and maintain a consistent investment strategy.

What are the changes included with the Edit Parameters feature?

  • Users can now edit the Grid Range and Grid Quantity directly within the bot.

  • Trailing Up/Down will be automatically turned off after editing and can't be adjusted separately.

  • Advanced Start/Stop conditions will remain unchanged and can't be edited.

  • If both base and quote assets are insufficient, users will be prompted to top up quote assets to meet the minimum investment required. Topping up base assets isn't permitted.

  • Profit and Loss (PNL) will be reinvested by default after any edits.

  • The marketplace workflow isn't included in this phase, so edits by lead traders won’t be broadcasted to subscribers.

  • Edits can be performed in all running states, except for STOP_DELAY_TRIGGER.

This new feature is designed to help you maximize your trading strategy with more flexibility and ease, ensuring that your bots remain aligned with your evolving goals.

How does Spot grid bot Smart Strategies work?

Spot grid bot Smart Strategies are built using data-driven backtesting to identify optimal trading settings for different time horizons. Each strategy—short-term, mid-term, and long-term—is tested over specific historical periods of 7, 20, and 90 days, respectively. These timeframes help determine how the bot reacts to varying market conditions, from quick price fluctuations to broader trends.

Because each term reflects a different market rhythm, the recommended parameters—such as price range, number of grids, and profit per grid—also vary. Short-term strategies typically feature narrower price ranges and higher grid densities, ideal for capturing frequent, smaller profits in volatile markets. Mid-term and long-term strategies, on the other hand, focus on wider price bands and larger profit intervals, making them more suited for traders who prefer steadier performance and less frequent rebalancing.

Smart Strategies help you trade with parameters backtested on historical data—the ones with potentially the strong results. Using them, you're still able to adjust any setting to fit your own market outlook and risk preference.Please note that these backtesting results are based on past market data and are not indicative of future performance.
