3.Operational procedure for Future Grids

Navigation bar - "Copy Trading "-"Strategy Bot"- "Create A Strategy"-"Recommend"-"Future Grids"-"Create Strategy". Then choose the trading pair, set up the parameters and click on "Create". As shown in the figure below:

Long/Short: If the market is forecast to rise, you can choose to go long, otherwise you can choose to go short.





"Clear all" Shortcut key: If the user has multiple data to clear, this shortcut key can be used instead of manually deleting one by one. After clicking, the parameters can be reset.



Price range: The lower limit price refers to the lowest buying price for executing grid transactions. If it is lower than this price, no further buying is allowed. In contrast, the upper limit price is the highest selling price for executing grid transactions. If it is higher than this price, no more selling is allowed.



Leverage Ratio: With up to 50x leverage set, you can devote a small amount of funds and gain more profit by increasing leverage, but the risk of liquidation will also increase.



Arithmetic: The price interval of each grid is the same. The calculation method:
(Upper limit price-Lower limit price) / (Number of grids-1)

Geometric: The price spacing of each grid is equal in proportion, and the calculation method is as follows:




Number Of Grids: The number of grids is basically the number of orders. Under the same price range, the more orders there are, the more grids there will be, and the more frequently you can buy low and sell high. (limited grids: 2 to 50)



Estimated Liquidation Price: Assuming that all long orders in the grid are realized, the estimated liquidation price of the maximum number of long positions can be set.



Advanced Settings: The above are some basic parameter settings, which are mandatory options for users. For the beauty of the page, not all the advanced settings are displayed on the page, and it needs to be clicked by the user to display it. There are some optional items in the advanced settings, which users can fill in according to their own needs.



Items in Advanced Setting：



Trigger price of the strategy: The grid strategy will only run when the latest price is no greater than the trigger price. The trigger price should be below the latest price and should be within the range of the lowest price and highest price.



Auto stop-loss ratio: When your position is losing value and the % difference between average entry price and mark price is larger than the stop-loss ratio, the position will be closed at the market price and the strategy terminates.

Base currency buy/sell qty per grid: In the future grids, the base currency buy/sell qty per grid=1

Contracts increasing: Quantity increment is off by default. When it is on, you can choose to increase the number of trades per grid by quantity or proportionally as shown below.



If the base currency buy/sell qty per grid=1 and contracts of increment per grid=2: Then in the first grid, it will buy/sell 1 contract, and in the second grid it will buy/sell 3 contracts(1+2). There will then be 5 contracts(1+2+2) for selling/buying in the third grid, and so on.
