Step-by-Step Guide to Manual Spot Grid Bot Setup
To begin setting up your spot grid trading bot manually, follow these essential steps:
1. Define Your Price Range and Grid Count
Start by entering the upper price and lower price to establish your desired trading range. This defines the boundaries within which your bot will place buy and sell orders. Once the range is set, input the number of grid levels you'd like to distribute across this range. The grid count directly affects order size—more grids mean smaller individual trades, while fewer grids result in larger position sizes per level.
Next, specify the investment amount you wish to allocate and select the corresponding cryptocurrency pair (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT).
Pro Tip: Use historical price data to identify support and resistance levels when choosing your upper and lower bounds. This increases the likelihood of profitable trades within your defined range.
2. Choose Your Grid Type: Arithmetic vs. Geometric
You can customize how grid levels are spaced using two distinct modes:
- Arithmetic Grid: Places each price level at a fixed interval (e.g., every $10). Ideal for stable, sideways markets where linear movement is expected.
- Geometric Grid: Spaces levels using a fixed percentage difference from the current price (e.g., 1% increments). This creates wider spacing as prices move away from the starting point, making it better suited for volatile assets.
Choosing the right type depends on your market outlook and asset behavior.
3. Confirm and Launch Your Bot
After setting your parameters, click Create to proceed.
Manually configure every detail to match your trading goals.
On the next screen, you’ll have the option to set Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels. These tools help automate risk management by closing positions when predefined profit or loss thresholds are reached—eliminating emotional decision-making and reducing the need for constant monitoring.
Enter your preferred SL/TP values, review all trade details carefully, then click Confirm to activate your spot grid trading bot.
4. Monitor and Manage Active Positions
Once live, you can track pending orders and performance under the Bot tab in your trading dashboard. Here, you’ll find real-time data including:
- Open orders
- Execution history
- Current PNL (Profit and Loss)
- Active grid levels
To exit your position at any time, simply select Stop to terminate the bot and close all open trades.
Review transaction details and click Stop to exit your grid strategy.
What Is Parameter Editing and Why Should You Use It?
The Parameter Editing feature enhances flexibility by allowing traders to adjust key settings on the fly—without stopping or restarting the bot. This means you can adapt quickly to shifting market conditions while preserving your core investment strategy.
Key benefits include:
- Real-time adjustments to upper/lower price limits or grid count
- Seamless adaptation during high volatility or trend reversals
- Consistent strategy execution without interruption
This functionality is especially valuable for content creators and trading influencers, as any changes they make are automatically reflected in followers’ copied bots—ensuring alignment across shared strategies.

Key Updates with the Parameter Editing Feature
Several important behaviors apply when editing live bot parameters:
- ✅ Editable: Grid range (upper/lower price) and number of grids can be modified directly.
- ❌ Disabled After Edit: Trailing up/down functions will automatically turn off post-edit and cannot be re-enabled separately.
- 🔒 Locked Settings: Advanced Start/Stop conditions remain unchanged and are not editable.
- 💸 Funding Rules: If either base or quote assets fall below minimum requirements, users will be prompted to deposit more quote currency. Increasing base asset allocation is not permitted.
- 💹 PNL Reinvestment: Profit and loss are automatically reinvested by default after any parameter change.
- 🔄 No Sync for Subscribers: Currently, workflow edits made by master traders are not propagated to subscribers’ bots.
- ⚠️ Availability: Editing is allowed in all running states except
STOP_DELAY_TRIGGER.
These safeguards ensure system stability while still offering meaningful control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I change the investment amount after launching the bot?
A: No, the initial investment amount cannot be increased once the bot is active. However, PNL is reinvested by default, allowing profits to compound within the grid.
Q: Does editing parameters reset my profit calculations?
A: No, historical PNL data is preserved. Only future trades reflect the new settings.
Q: Is geometric spacing better than arithmetic for crypto trading?
A: Geometric grids often perform better with volatile assets like cryptocurrencies because they scale proportionally with price changes, reducing the risk of early range breaches.
Q: Can I use stop-loss and take-profit together?
A: Yes, both can be set simultaneously. This combination helps lock in gains while limiting downside risk—an effective tool for automated risk control.
Q: Will my followers see my parameter edits instantly?
A: Not currently. While influencers can edit their own bots, those changes do not sync automatically to subscribers’ copies during this phase.
Q: What happens if I hit the upper or lower price limit?
A: When price reaches either boundary, no new orders are placed beyond that point. The bot continues executing within the remaining range until conditions change or you manually intervene.
With full control over pricing ranges, grid distribution, and real-time adjustments, manual setup transforms passive trading into a dynamic, responsive strategy. By leveraging tools like parameter editing and automated SL/TP, traders gain precision, consistency, and peace of mind.
