Contract Grid
What is a Contract Grid Strategy?
A Contract Grid strategy is an automated trading method that profits from market volatility by buying low and selling high within a preset price range. Users define:
Price range (upper and lower bounds)
Number of grids
Quantity per trade
The system then calculates price levels for each grid and automatically executes buy or sell orders as the market moves. The goal is to capture profits from every price swing between the grid levels.
Three Types of Contract Grid Strategies
1. Long Grid
Used when you expect prices to fluctuate upward:
Buy when the price falls to a lower grid level.
Sell at the next higher grid level.
2. Short Grid
Used when expecting a fluctuating downward trend:
Sell when the price rises to a higher grid level.
Buy back at the next lower grid level.
3. Neutral Grid
Used when expecting sideways movement:
Sells (opens short/closes long) above the initial market price.
Buys (opens long/closes short) below the initial market price.
No positions are held when the grid starts.
Example: Neutral Grid on BTCUSDT
Settings:
Grid Range: 40,000 – 60,000 USDT
Number of Grids: 5 (Arithmetic)
Quantity per Trade: 0.001 BTC
Calculated Grid Levels:
60,000 (Sell)
56,000 (Sell)
52,000 (Sell)
48,000 (Buy)
44,000 (Buy)
40,000 (Buy)
If the price drops to $47,000, the $48,000 buy order is filled, and a long position of 0.001 BTC is established.

Core Parameters
1. Margin Mode
All contract grid strategies use Isolated Margin.
2. Grid Direction
Choose: Long, Short, or Neutral
Direction cannot be changed after creation.
3. Grid Price Limits
Define the upper and lower price boundaries.
No orders will be placed if the market moves outside this range.
4. Grid Types
Arithmetic Grid
Equal price intervals between grid levels.
Formula:
Geometric Grid
Equal percentage price changes between grid levels.
Formula:
5. Number of Grids
Minimum: 2
Maximum: 300
Must meet minimum price difference per exchange rules.
6. Investment Amount
Set as a percentage of your available balance.
Once placed, it cannot be changed.
Determines the initial capital used.
Total Investment = Investment Amount × Leverage
7. Quantity per Order
Neutral Grid
Long/Short Grid
A more complex formula based on:
Direction (1 for Long, -1 for Short)
Margin
Opening losses
Mark or trigger price
Adjustment Factor = 0.8
8. Leverage
Set according to contract risk limits.
Profit per Grid
Arithmetic Grid
Profit depends on grid spacing, entry cost, and fees.
Example:
Price range: 1,000–2,000
Grids: 10
Fee: 0.1%
Profit Range ≈ 5.05% to 9.79%
Geometric Grid
Profit depends on the compounded grid ratio.
Example:
Price range: 1,000–2,000
Grids: 10
Fee: 0.1%
Profit per Grid ≈ 6.97%
AI-Based Grid Parameters (Neutral Only)
Go to the [AI] tab to check the recommended parameters and enter your investment amount.
Once you've decided on the amount of margin you want to allocate to your grid trading strategy, click' Create' and confirm your grid order so that the system automatically places buy or sell orders at the preset prices. Please note that the AI-based parameters are set in a Neutral direction and in Arithmetic Mode by default.

How AI Parameters Are Calculated
Price Bands
Grid Count
Buffer = 20%
ATR Period depends on the term (7, 30, or 180 days)
Advanced Options
Trigger Price: Grid only activates when this price is reached.
Stop Price: The grid stops if the price hits this level.
Liquidate All on Stop: Closes all open positions at the market price when the stop is triggered.
Grid Termination Conditions
Manually terminated by user
Market hits the stop price
Insufficient margin
Position is forcibly liquidated or ADL-triggered
Order limit reached or exceeded
Troubleshooting Grid Failures
Grid setup may fail due to:
Too many grids (max: 10 active contract grids)
Order size exceeds limits
Position amount exceeds contract limits
The order quantity exceeds platform thresholds
