Grid trading places a series of buy and sell orders at fixed intervals above and below a set price. The principle is to systematically take small profits as the market oscillates. On a one minute chart, this high frequency activity captures minor moves. It turns volatility from a threat into the source of your profit. This structure means you are not relying on one single stop loss order to define your risk. (2/7)

Define your grid’s core parameters. Choose a volatile crypto pair like ETH/USDT. Set your grid’s center price at a recent consolidation point. For a moderate risk profile, use a 0.5% to 0.8% interval between each buy and sell order. This spacing is tight enough for a one minute chart but wide enough to avoid noise. (3/7)

Allocate capital and set your boundaries. Decide your total position size. A professional might use 5% of capital for this single strategy. Divide that sum by the number of grid levels you plan to use, perhaps ten buy orders and ten sell orders. This pre defines your risk per level. Set upper and lower limits for the entire grid, far outside normal volatility. These act as your final stop loss and take profit. (4/7)

Let the bot handle the execution. Run the grid. Each time a buy order fills, a sell order is placed above it. Each sell order execution places a new buy order below. You profit from the market’s natural back and forth motion. Your risk is managed by the grid’s boundaries and the small size of each individual trade. (5/7)
