Recently played with Binance's contract grid (trading robot) for two or three days, sharing my actual experience and some pitfalls: 👇

🟩Why do I really like Binance's contract grid?

1⃣It's really convenient.

No need to look at the candlestick chart every day, no need for frequent operations, just set it up and let it run.

2⃣Supports "mobile grid"!

More flexible than traditional grids, once the price leaves the original range, it can still arbitrage.

3⃣The entry is very simple:

Open the path [Contract → Trading Robot], even beginners can quickly get started.

4⃣There’s an invitation code to save on fees: 416378774

🟨 How to understand the grid principle?

The grid earns money from fluctuations, not directional money, so:

If you judge the market will [be sideways], you can use [neutral grid];

If you judge it will rise, then do [long grid];

If you judge it will fall, then do [short grid].

🔧Setup suggestions (real pitfalls sharing)

- Don't choose neutral: It seems like you can profit from both directions, but if there's no direction, a wave of fluctuations might eat up all the fees. You must choose a direction!

- Single grid profit can't be too low: I set it too low (0.2%) and ended up with a bunch of orders not filled and lost fees after a market wave. Suggest 0.5~0.8%.

- Don't mess with mobile grids: For example, if you opened a short position and the price keeps rising, moving too early may result in closing at a high point and losing money.

- Don't be greedy with leverage: Too high leverage leads to quick liquidation. I suggest 3~5 times leverage, which can control risk.

My trading thought process (taking BTC as an example):

I currently see BTC moving upward in fluctuations, so I operate this way:

Grid range: adjust to a lower position for easy low buys

Single grid profit: 0.5%

Leverage multiple: 3x

⚠ Risk reminder (points where many people fall into pitfalls)

Capital utilization rate may not be high: If you set the range too wide and the price doesn't move, lots of capital gets stuck with orders.

Risk is smaller than in general contracts, but it does not mean no risk: Mobile grid is also a contract and can also lead to liquidation.

Volatility does not equal profit: Judging direction is still the core.

In the end, the contract grid is a good tool, but it is not a guaranteed money-making device.

As long as you have your own judgment and control your position well, it is a good choice for steady arbitrage and practicing with small funds.
