Your first grid strategy (5 minutes)

A grid strategy buys low and sells high in ranging markets — the easiest built-in strategy to start with.

1. Create a strategy

• Go to the Strategies page → top-right "New".
• A three-step wizard: ① pick a type → ② symbol + timeframe → ③ parameters & risk.

2. Start from a template

The "Strategy Templates" section sits at the top of the parameter step:

• Low volatility: wide range, fewer grids, higher profit per grid.
• High volatility: narrow-range dense grids, higher capital utilization.

Tap a template card to auto-fill the parameters, then continue.

3. Confirm the key settings

• Symbol: start with a major coin like BTCUSDT.
• Interval: 1H is a good balance.
• Range: the grid only trades inside its bounds; set upper/lower near the current price.

4. Size and risk

• Position size: start with a small share of equity (10–30%), then scale after you're comfortable.
• Enable risk controls (daily loss cap, emergency stop). They don't remove risk but they backstop it.

5. Start and watch

• Click "Create & Start"; orders start placing immediately.
• Check fills and cumulative PnL on the Strategies page. Grid profits come from repeated oscillation — the flatter the range, the better.

6. Validate on paper first

We strongly suggest running paper trading for a few days before going live (see "Paper → Live").
