What is a grid strategy?

In order to understand ETH/BTC Grid Trading, we need to understand what a grid strategy is first.
In simple terms, the concept of a grid strategy is to set a price range and divide it with multiple price lines to form a grid-like structure. The fund will be allocated equally to each price interval. The grid bot will then operate automatically on the buy and sell of the pair. When the price falls, it will buy in batches (based on price intervals). And when the price rises, it will sell in batches.
 

What are the advantages of grid strategy?

As we all know, the principle of making profits in cryptocurrency investment is very simple, which is to buy low and sell high. But how many of us can truly make money from it? This is mainly because it is difficult for us to control our own greed and to prevent buying high and selling low. However, if we can make good use of Grid Trading, we can avoid the weaknesses of human nature beyond our control.

Grid Trading does not rely on human thinking. It is entirely a programmatic operation that can automate trading 24/7 without the need to monitor the market. When the price fluctuates, each buying low and selling high within a grid range would create a price differential for arbitrage, and profits are earned through repetitive arbitrage.
 

Why create an ETH/BTC grid strategy? And what are the benefits?

First, let’s take a look at the market situation of ETH/BTC: https://bingx.com/spot/ETHBTC/
__2023-04-18_22.29.11.png
Have you noticed? The ETH/BTC trading pair has been oscillating all the time. Its recent upward trend due to factors such as the Ethereum Shanghai Upgrade is especially noted. For Grid Trading, there is room for arbitrage as long as there is volatility. This trading pair is very suitable for grid arbitrage.
Currently, ETH/BTC is only supported in BingX Spot Grid. Please stay tuned for other types of Grid Trading.
In general, ETH/BTC grid trading has the following four advantages:
1. Direct investment of coins for HODLers who already have coins on hand. At the same time, they are also earning in coins, which means the amount of coins held will continue to grow.
2. For those who are bullish on both BTC and ETH in the long run, they will either have more BTC or more ETH. So the more volatile it gets, the better the profits.
3. It enables users to enjoy the combined profit of the coins' increased value due to price increases and profits generated from conversion rate fluctuations. The more volatile the market, the higher the ROI.
4. The conversion rate is relatively stable. BTC and ETH have a large market value, high trading volume, and high turnover rate, making them relatively reliable assets among many cryptocurrencies.
 
 

What is ETH/BTC Spot Grid trading?

The ETH/BTC pair listed on BingX Spot Grid is based on the price fluctuation of ETH, with BTC as the margin for automated buying and selling of ETH.
  • When the price of ETH rises against BTC, the grid bot will automatically sell ETH at a higher price point for more BTC.
  • When the price of ETH falls against BTC, the grid bot will automatically sell BTC at a lower price point for more ETH.
For users who believe ETH and BTC will be good investments in the long run, this pair can be a good tool to accumulate coins.
 
 

What are its advantages over buying ETH or BTC directly?

Here's an example to help you better understand the logic of arbitrage with the ETH/BTC pair.

On 2022-05-17 and 2023-04-17, the price of BTC was around $30,000, and the price of ETH was around $2,000.

Let's assume that you are bullish on BTC and ETH at the same time.

On 2022-05-17, if you:

  • Bought 1 BTC and 1 ETH for $32,000 and simply hold them until 2023-04-17, you would have almost no profit.
  • Bought 1 BTC for $32,000 and created an ETH/BTC grid strategy. Then, you would now have earned additional grid profits, bringing your position size to more than 1 BTC + 1 ETH.
 
 

When is the best time to create an ETH/BTC Spot Grid strategy?

Both the "bear market" and "pre-bull market" are good entry points as you can not only hold ETH/BTC at a low price but also continue arbitrage when the market is trending upward.
An oscillating market is the best scenario for Grid Trading, where the strategy will buy low and sell high in batches, thus creating price differences repeatedly. As you earn from the price differences, your overall capital volume will continue to rise.
 
 

Is it possible to lose money on ETH/BTC Spot Grid trading?

In Spot Grid, ETH/BTC is essentially a suitable pair for an oscillating upward trend. And you believe that the next ETH rally will outpace the BTC rally.
Of course, if ETH/BTC starts to oscillate downward, i.e. the BTC rally outpaces the ETH rally, then the grid bot will use the BTC that you invest to buy more ETH at a lower price. In other words, you will buy more ETH through the grid strategy in this circumstance. On the other hand, when the ETH/BTC conversion rate increases, the accumulated ETH in this strategy will become higher in value.
Therefore, in the event of a short-term downturn, short-term losses may indeed occur. But if you believe in the value of these two coins and are bullish on BTC and ETH, then this grid pair is definitely the best option for you to accumulate coins.
 

How to create an ETH/BTC Spot Grid strategy?

After entering Grid Trading, choose "Spot Grid" and follow the steps below:
  1. Select the pair: ETH/BTC
  2. Set the price range: The Max. Price is the highest conversion rate you believe ETH/BTC will reach, while the Min. Price is the lowest conversion rate you believe ETH/BTC will reach.
  3. Set Grid No.: Grid No. refers to the number of intervals that the price range is divided into. It will affect the number of orders to be placed.
  4. Set TP/SL (optional): This feature helps you better manage risks or close the strategy wisely based on the preset conditions to take profit.
  5. Enter the investment amount and click "Create a Grid". Your grid strategy will then be created successfully!
After successful creation, the grid bot will start buying some ETH with BTC in Spot Grid to open an initial position. After that, the grid bot will operate automatically and execute the buy-low and sell-high strategy within the set price range. When the live price triggers the execution of a buy order, the bot will place a sell order immediately one grid up from the buy order. And when the live price triggers the execution of a sell order, the bot will place a buy order immediately one grid down from the sell order.
When the market price exceeds the price range, the grid strategy will be closed automatically. You can also choose to close it manually. The system will cancel all pending orders after the grid bot stops running.
 

How to set grid parameters?

The setting of parameters should balance the relationship between arbitrage frequency and profit/grid, which is determined by two parameters: "Price Range" and "Grid No.".

The purpose of setting a price range is to prevent buying or selling without limits in the case of a one-sided market. You can refer to the recent fluctuations in the asset's price to help you determine the specific range.

Under the same price range, the higher the Grid No., the higher the arbitrage frequency:
    • Higher number of grids: More frequent automatic trades, but with lesser profit per grid.
    • Lower number of grids: Higher profit per grid, but with lower arbitrage frequency. It could potentially miss out on trading opportunities in an oscillating market.

Here's an example of parameter settings for your reference:

Max. Price:

Min. Price:
