FAQ
1. What is the minimum investment amount for a futures grid?
The minimum amount varies depending on the trading pair and leverage. Check the trading interface for specific details.
2. Can I switch between AI and manual settings after creating a grid?
No. You must close the current grid and create a new one to change the setup mode.
3. What happens if the price moves outside the grid range?
No new orders will be executed until the price re-enters the defined range.
4. Are fees charged for each grid transaction?
Yes, standard futures transaction fees apply to each buy or sell order executed within the grid.
5. How do I avoid liquidation while using the futures grid?
Reserve sufficient funds as collateral and avoid over-leveraging your position to cover price fluctuations.
6. Why did grid expansion fail after adjusting the price range?
If the bot is running at a loss and your available margin is below zero, new grid orders can't be placed. Any added margin will first be used to reduce liquidation risk. To fix this, top up your margin before expanding the grid.
7. Where do my funds go after I stop the trading bot?
After the trading bot is terminated, all remaining funds will be automatically returned to the account that created the bot.
8. What happens if I set many grids within a narrow price range?
When you set a large number of grids within a narrow price range, the system activates interval matching to optimize your profits. It intelligently pairs buy and sell orders that are several grids apart, avoiding trades with price differences too small to cover fees. This helps maintain meaningful arbitrage opportunities—even when the market fluctuates within a tight range.
Yes. You can adjust the price range and number of grids while the trading bot is running. If the bot's remaining funds (including unrealized PnL) are insufficient for the minimum investment required under the adjusted parameters, you will need to add funds before the adjustment can be completed. Once the parameter adjustment is initiated, the grid will cancel all unfilled orders, rebalance the position, and reinitialize the grid.
