Worked example
Range 50,000–70,000 USDT with 20 grids gives a step of 1,000 USDT. With 1,000 USDT invested, each grid holds 50 USDT. A buy at the lowest level (50,000) and a sell one step up earns 1,000 ÷ 50,000 = 2.00%; at the top level it is 1,000 ÷ 69,000 ≈ 1.45%. Subtract two fees of 0.1% and each cycle earns about 1.25–1.80%, or 0.62–0.90 USDT.
What the calculator does not know
- How many cycles will complete: that depends on volatility inside the range.
- Losses when price falls below the range: the bot holds coins bought higher.
- Each platform’s real fee tier: check it in the platform reviews.
FAQ
How many grids should I use?
More grids mean smaller steps and more frequent trades, but each cycle earns less and fees take a bigger share. If the profit per cycle above gets close to zero, use fewer grids.
Arithmetic or geometric grid?
An arithmetic grid uses equal price steps, as in this calculator. A geometric grid uses equal percentage steps, so profit per cycle is the same at every level.
Why is my real profit lower?
Real results also depend on slippage, how many cycles complete, funding payments on futures, and losses when price leaves the range.
