## What is Grid Trading?
Spot grid trading is a trading strategy to sell high and buy low in volatile markets. By setting price range and grid quantity, grid trading splits funds into several equivalent ones and sell high and buy low according to different price trends. To this end, grid trading can keep earning profits in a volatile market.

## Grid Trading User Guide

The basic version consists of "Smart Grid" and "Configure Grid Manually". The smart grid is backtested based on the historical data of the past 7 days and works out the grid parameters with the highest yield. It is quite user-friendly to new users as they only need to enter the amount of investment, which must be higher than the minimum investment. If you are an experienced investor, you can configure grids manually and customize parameters.

## FAQs
###  In which market conditions are spot grid strategies fit?
Spot grid strategies are fit for volatile markets where they can repeatedly sell high and buy low to make profits from the grids.
### Which trading pairs are spot grid strategies fit for?
If you are new to cryptocurrency trading, we recommend mainstream trading pairs with high liquidity such as BTC_USDT and ETH_USDT. If you already have a good understanding of spot grid trading, you can try trading pairs with large fluctuations to earn more profits.
### Can I stop loss in spot grid trading?
Yes. Set the stop-loss price in the grid configurations to protect your assets. When the traded asset's price falls below the stop-loss price, the strategy will automatically sell the underlying asset for you.
### Is it possible that the total handling fee exceeds the grid profit?
No. Spot grid strategies make sure that only when the grid profit is more than the handling fee will orders be placed. Therefore, the described situation will never occur.
