Honestly, the crypto market is really tough to endure right now.
This STAR grid started running from 0.12978. The lowest it dipped to in the middle was 0.12309—at one point it was more than 5 points below the launch price. Now the price has come back to 0.12603, which is still nearly 3 points lower than when it started.
But the grid has already realized 24.89 U, and the position you currently hold is still showing about 22.05 U in unrealized profit.
Yeah, that’s the appeal of a grid. The market doesn’t necessarily have to jump up right away. As long as the price keeps bouncing around within the range, it will buy one grid at a time and sell one grid at a time, slowly grinding out the profits.
In this kind of market, if you originally wanted to hold some liquid, mainstream coins—or a coin you’ve researched that has been trading in a relatively low-level range for a long time—then you might be willing to pick up a bit more if it drops further. But if you’re just holding and you can never quite stick with it, it might be worth looking into a grid strategy.
Don’t think about making a comeback in one move, and don’t dump all your position at once either. Do it with small positions and gradually work it. First, figure out a way to keep yourself in the game—make it through this difficult stretch, and only then talk about the next round of bull market.
That said, I have to put the ugly truth up front: grids also fear one-way, prolonged drops, and nobody can confirm where the true bottom is. The grid shown in the chart is a 10x contract grid—these are my own parameters, so it’s not suitable to copy directly. If a beginner really wants to try, start with spot grids or very low leverage, and think through your position size and exit conditions in advance.
