Cryptocurrency traders often rely on market charts to make trading decisions. Cryptocurrency markets function 24/7 and often present high volatility. As such, keeping up with the markets and navigating them can be challenging.
Grid trading on Binance Futures is a strategic tool that can be useful when markets are volatile and prices fluctuate within a given range. In our step-by-step guide to grid trading, we covered how to set up systematic trading using grid trading on Binance Futures.
This article explores how to optimize the grid trading experience on Binance Futures.
Grid Trading: An Overview
Grid trading automates the process of buying and selling futures contracts at preset intervals around a given price range. It involves setting orders at prices above and below a specific level, resulting in a pattern of orders arranged in a grid-like structure with incrementally increasing and decreasing prices.
When the price of an asset drops to a predefined range, the grid trading bot automatically places a buy order at the current range and a sell order at a higher price. Conversely, when the value of a specific cryptocurrency rises, the system places a sell order at the current range along with a buy order at a lower price.
Grid trading can be particularly useful when a market is moving up and down within a price range or channel. The strategy attempts to capitalize on small price movements in the market.
Grid Trading on Binance Futures
Binance Futures allows users to customize and configure grid parameters, including the range of upper and lower limits and the number of grids. Users also have the option to select from two preset modes: the arithmetic mode, which creates grids with equal price differences, or the geometric mode, which creates grids with equal price ratio differences.
Following the grid’s creation, the system automatically places buy or sell orders at predetermined prices. The more grids included, the greater the number of orders. Conversely, the potential profit from each individual order will be lower. In essence, it's a trade-off between the possibility of generating small gains from numerous trades or larger profits from fewer trades.
The advantage of grid trading is that it allows for systematic trading without predicting market direction. It is convenient because it eliminates the need to monitor real-time market movements manually.
With Binance Futures, users can replicate the corresponding parameters of popular grid trading strategies on the Trading Bots page.
Identify and Replicate Trading Strategies
The Trading Bots landing page features the strategy pool section, which showcases the leading grid trading strategies. This enables users to replicate the corresponding parameters for their trading strategy.
From this section, users can use filters to narrow their search and display a specific panel of strategies that best suit their needs. Users can also view each strategy’s corresponding ROI, PnL, or Popularity to better understand its performance.
Additionally, users can replicate the parameters of a particular strategy to create a similar one for themselves that can be tailored to their individual preferences and risk management choices.
Once they select their filter options, such as Markets, Running Time, and ROI, users will be able to visualize the corresponding ROI and PnL over the selected period for each featured futures contract.
Next, users can either replicate the strategy with the same parameters or adjust them on the Futures grid.
Trending Pairs and Volatility
The Trading Analytics section displays the top ten trending asset pairs based on the number of running strategies, as indicated in the “Trending Market Top 10.” By referring to this, users can identify the symbols with the most grid orders.
The “Volatility Top 10” list highlights the top ten trending asset pairs in terms of volatility, allowing users to make more informed decisions about their trading strategies.
