Appearance
Interface โ
Every control on the dashboard, in the order it appears. Read this alongside the strategy overview โ each field shapes the ladder described there.
๐ท Screenshot: the full form (strategy selector, parameter fields, buttons).
Two groups behave differently once a cycle is running:
- Build parameters define the ladder and are locked while the bot runs โ they only take effect on the next Calculate.
- Runtime parameters (marked ๐ข below) can be changed live; the change is written to the running cycle on the fly.
Strategy direction โ
Long / Short โ
The direction of the whole strategy.
- Long โ the ladder sits below price. You buy the dips and close higher. Use when you expect a range or an uptrend.
- Short โ mirrored: the ladder sits above price, you sell the rallies and close lower.
Clicking Long or Short also pulls your Available balance from the exchange for that pair.
Build parameters โ
These build the ladder. Locked while a cycle runs.
Available balance โ
The budget the entire grid is sized from. It is fetched from the exchange when you click Long/Short.
- You may reduce it to trade with less than your full balance.
- Do not inflate it above what you actually hold โ the grid would plan orders the account can't cover.
Order Size โ
The size of the first order. It must be at least the exchange's minimum for the pair; setting it about +5% above that minimum is the usual safe margin. Every deeper rung grows from this first size according to the progression.
Profit โ
The target profit of the whole-position close, in percent. Typically โค 1%; the optimal range is 0.2โ0.5%. This margin (plus commission) is added above your average entry to price the closing order.
Exchange commission โ
Your Binance commission, in percent. Binance is generally 0.25%, but you may qualify for a 0.1% bonus rate โ set whichever applies to you. The bot folds this into the close price so the target profit is net of fees.
Progression strategy โ
How the order size grows as the grid goes deeper:
- Progressive โ each step is scaled by a fixed multiplier.
- Fibonacci โ sizes follow the Fibonacci sequence.
This governs how quickly the deposit is consumed down the ladder. Fibonacci is the most effective of the two.
Martingail โ
The Martingale factor. It controls the gap of the closing order (the final sale) and how the end of the series behaves:
- Higher โ the end-of-series close triggers more effectively and more often, but the balance depletes very quickly.
- Lower โ the grid is very wide with good percentage overlap, but the final order sits further away than you'd want.
Guide ranges: min 25โ35 ยท optimal 35โ80 ยท excellent 80โ100+.
Progressive step โ
Controls the overlap % between rungs โ the price distance between drops (Long) or rises (Short).
- More overlap (> 20%) โ lower risk (good), but orders fill less often (bad).
- Find the balance for how much currency your account holds.
Indent price โ
The distance between the first order and the current price โ how far below (Long) / above (Short) the market the ladder starts.
Runtime parameters ๐ข โ
Changeable while the bot runs; written to the live cycle on the fly.
Active orders ๐ข โ
How many orders sit live on the book at once. The bot keeps this many resting and places deeper ones as shallower rungs fill.
Request frequency ๐ข โ
The polling period for the whole series, in milliseconds โ how often the bot checks order and price state. Lower = more responsive, more API calls.
Restart ๐ข โ
When on, the bot starts a new cycle automatically after the current series closes. When off, it stops after the current cycle completes.
Actions โ
Calculate โ
Builds the grid from the current build parameters and renders it in the table. This is a preview โ nothing is sent to the exchange.
Save โ
Persists the calculated grid and settings for the pair, so they survive a reload and can be started later.
Start / Stop โ
Start begins the live cycle โ the bot places orders and manages them. The button then becomes Stop, which halts the cycle. (See Managing a pair for cancelling or deleting orders.)
Stream โ
Beside Start/Stop, the live price ticker for the pair (e.g. BNBUSDT 556.15). It updates from the exchange stream and is the price the bot measures everything against.
