After 8 days of a neutral grid, the return rate was 7% of total capital, which is quite good, as it anticipated that this period would be volatile. Please see the comparison of different types of grids below. Newcomers should be cautious when participating. Avoid trading altcoins.
Definition
1. Neutral strategy
Definition
A neutral strategy is a grid trading method that does not rely on unilateral market rises or falls. It profits by simultaneously engaging in 'buy low, sell high' operations within a preset price range, utilizing market fluctuations. The robot buys when prices drop and sells when prices rise, repeating the cycle.
Characteristics
Directional independence: does not require predicting whether the market will rise or fall, as long as the price fluctuates within the set range, profit can be made.
Bilateral trading: simultaneously engaging in long and short trades, automatically adjusting positions to adapt to price fluctuations.
Applicable scenarios: suitable for volatile markets (market sideways or small fluctuations).
Pros and Cons
Advantages:
Performs steadily in volatile markets, able to continuously capture profits from small fluctuations.
Relatively low risk, as it does not rely on unilateral trends, reducing the possibility of directional judgment errors.
Suitable for long-term operation, reducing human intervention.
Disadvantages:
Limited profits in unilateral markets (significant rises or falls) because positions are adjusted passively, potentially missing out on trending opportunities.
Requires reasonable price range settings; if the range is set too narrow or too wide, it may lead to inefficiency or losses.
2. Long strategy
Definition
Long strategy is a trading method based on bullish expectations. The grid robot gradually buys when prices rise and sells at higher prices, expecting the market to continue to break upward.
Characteristics
Directional dependence: requires the overall market price to rise in order to achieve maximum profit.
Unidirectional trading: primarily profits by buying low and selling high.
Applicable scenarios: suitable for bull markets or clear upward trends.
Pros and Cons
Advantages:
Significant profit potential in unilateral upward markets, especially when combined with leverage to amplify profits.
Simple and intuitive strategy, suitable for investors confident in a bullish market.
Disadvantages:
If the market declines, it may lead to continuous losses and even liquidation risks (especially under high leverage).
High requirements for market directional judgment, incorrect directions can lead to significant losses.
Not suitable for volatile or downward markets, with lower flexibility.
3. Short strategy
Definition
Short strategy is a trading method based on bearish expectations. The grid robot sells (borrows assets) when prices decline and buys back at lower prices to repay, profiting from the price drop.
Characteristics
Directional dependence: requires the overall market price to decline in order to profit.
Unidirectional trading: primarily profits by selling at high prices and buying back at low prices.
Applicable scenarios: suitable for bear markets or clear downward trends.
Pros and Cons
Advantages:
Significant returns in unilateral downward markets, especially when the speed of decline is rapid.
An effective profit tool for bearish market investors.
Disadvantages:
If the market unexpectedly rises, it may lead to losses or even liquidation (leverage amplifies risks).
High requirements for market directional judgment, incorrect predictions can be costly.
Not suitable for volatile or rising markets, with limited adaptability.
Selection advice
If you're uncertain about market direction: choose a neutral strategy to earn stable returns from fluctuations while controlling risks.
If you are optimistic about a rise: choose a long strategy, especially combined with moderate leverage for higher returns.
If you anticipate a decline: choose a short strategy, suitable for profiting in bear markets.
Cautions: Regardless of the strategy, it is necessary to reasonably set grid ranges, leverage multiples, and stop-loss points to avoid capital risks caused by sharp market fluctuations. It is advisable to dynamically adjust strategies based on market conditions rather than solely relying on a single model.
