The Standard Grid Bot in Wick Hunter helps you profit from market volatility by placing automatic buy and sell orders at predefined price intervals — known as “grids.” It performs best in ranging markets or structured trends, capturing profits on every bounce between levels.
Whether you're new to automation or looking for precise control, this bot has the tools you need.
Step 1: Core Setup
Field | Description |
Side | Choose to run the grid as a Long (Buy) or Short (Sell) strategy |
Pair | Select your trading pair (e.g. BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT) |
Investment Size | The amount of quote currency allocated to the bot (e.g. $500 USDT) |
Margin Mode | Choose Cross (shared margin across positions) or Isolated (independent margin per bot) — only available on futures markets |
Leverage | Set your leverage (e.g. 2x, 5x, etc.) — futures only |
Note: Leverage and margin settings are disabled for spot markets.
Quick Setup Options
Choose between Short, Mid, or Long presets:
Short: Tight grid spacing for active scalping
Mid: Balanced spacing for mixed conditions
Long: Wide spacing for slower, larger swings
Each preset automatically adjusts your grid range and levels — perfect for fast deployment.
Manual Adjustments
Want full control over your grid structure? Use Manual Adjustments:
Setting | Description |
Low Price | The lowest price at which the bot will place buy orders |
High Price | The highest price at which the bot will place sell orders |
Grid Step (%) | Percentage distance between each grid level |
Grid Levels | Total number of grids between the high and low range |
Example:
High: $30,000
Low: $27,000
Step: 1%
→ The bot places orders every 1% in that range to capture frequent micro-movements.
Grid Settings (Profit & Risk Control)
Setting | Function |
Take Profit (%) | Close the bot when the entire grid reaches your profit target |
Stop Loss (%) | Shut down the bot if losses exceed this threshold |
Trail Up | Automatically shift the grid up as price trends upward (for long bots) |
Trail Down | Automatically shift the grid down if price breaks downward |
These tools give your bot the ability to adapt to the market while managing risk and protecting gains.
When to Use the Standard Grid Bot
Market Condition | Why It Works |
Sideways or ranging | Captures repeated profits as price bounces within a range |
Volatile but undecided trends | Places orders above and below current price to catch movement |
Trending with pullbacks | Combine with Trail Up/Down for adaptive movement |
Futures trading | Use leverage and isolated margin for risk-managed exposure |
Best Practices
Use a low grid step (0.5–1%) for tighter price action
Go wider (5–15%) in choppy or uncertain conditions
Enable Take Profit for clear exit plans
Use Stop Loss especially when trading with leverage
For directional trades, combine Leverage + Isolated mode with defined risk controls
Launch and Monitor
Once configured, click Launch — and the bot takes care of the rest:
Places grid orders
Monitors price movement
Automatically executes trades
Exits based on your TP/SL or trailing conditions
You can track all activity and performance in real-time via your Wick Hunter dashboard.
