We have been experimenting with futures grid bots on Binance KuCoin and a few other platforms
The original goal was honestly very simple
Make an extra $10 to $20 from each setup
But somehow that small experiment ended with us building our own bot 😂
One setup really pushed us into it
Capital around $260
Position around 3.70 TAO
Grid range $220 to $255
TAO dropped hard but the grid itself was doing its job and generated around $12 in grid profit
At the same time we still had the futures position accumulated around the lower levels near $229 So if TAO moves from $229 back toward $237 3.70 TAO × $8 is roughly $29.60 in position movement before fees funding and other adjustments Add that to the grid profit and theoretically the total value should move somewhere around the $295 to $300 area depending on execution But when we compared that with how some futures grid platforms were calculating total profit unrealized PNL and overall valuation the numbers simply were not adding up the way we expected We went back and forth with support trying to understand the calculation
Eventually we decided to build the whole thing ourselves The setup is actually pretty simple
We use the Binance API for market data orders positions and futures execution
Telegram works as the remote control
From Telegram we can select the direction set the price range choose the number of grids configure capital leverage start the bot stop it and monitor positions and PNLOnce everything is configured the bot handles the futures grid execution automatically through the exchange API The goal is not to build some magical money printer We just want transparent calculations proper position sizing clear grid allocation risk controls and a system where we can understand exactly where every dollar of PNL came from Currently we are still testing everything before trusting it with serious capital Sometimes spending more time researching one small problem creates a completely different opportunity 😂
Bot tests portfolio results and more updates coming soon 👀
