Tips on Futures Grid

 

Optimize your Futures Grid trading by considering the following tips:

 

1. Setting Price Range:

 

 

• Identify the ideal price range for your grid, usually between resistance and support levels.
• Common methods for determining upper and lower limits:
  • Refer to momentum indicators like the upper and lower Bollinger Bands on the last 4-hour or daily candlestick chart.
  • Set limits based on the most frequent highs and lows observed in the 4-hour candlestick chart.

 

2. Set Grids (Grid Number):

 

 

• The grid number determines the grid density.
• Denser grids capture smaller market swings but decrease the average fund per grid.
• Consider both the fund per grid and grid density when setting the number of grids.
• Use Average True Range (ATR) as a reference to determine the number of grids based on desired trading intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes):
  • Grids = (Max. Price - Min. Price) / ATR (20) of 15-minute candlestick pattern.

 

 

 

3. Other Tips: Backtesting and Stop-Loss:

 

 

• Utilize backtesting features to test the performance of your set parameters, keeping in mind that historical data is for reference only.
• Strengthen your grid strategy by implementing a stop-loss mechanism for added safety.
