Most strategies fail when price goes nowhere for weeks. Grid trading bots are designed specifically for this — they thrive on volatility within a range, not on a directional trend.
You set a price range (say ₹90-₹110) and a number of grid levels. The bot places buy orders at each level below current price and sell orders above it, automatically buying dips and selling bounces.
Every time price oscillates through a grid level, the bot locks in a small profit. In a range-bound market, this can happen dozens of times a day, compounding small gains without needing to predict direction.
If price breaks decisively out of your set range, the grid bot keeps buying on the way down (or stops selling on the way up), and you're left holding a losing position outside your intended range.
Choose ranges based on recent support/resistance, not arbitrary numbers. Set an overall stop-loss below the range in case of a breakdown. Grid bots work best on established pairs with predictable volatility, not new listings.
