Automate Your Trading with XBTS Grid Bot

We offer five distinct strategies: • Default Grid — Standard geometric grid for general purpose trading • Relative Orders — Dual-order strategy for active markets • Mountain — Concentrated liquidity near center price • Neutral — Even distribution across all levels • Valley — Focus on outer levels for volatility

Default Grid is a standard geometric grid strategy where orders are placed at fixed percentage intervals. It features configurable grid density (increment %), target spread control, and adaptive spacing. This is the recommended starting point for most traders.

These are three distinct strategies for the Staggered Orders bot. Mountain clusters orders near the center for stable markets. Neutral distributes them evenly. Valley concentrates orders at the extremes for high-volatility markets.

Relative Orders places a buy order below and a sell order above the center price. When both orders fill, you capture the spread as profit. This strategy adds liquidity close to the current price and is ideal for established, active markets.

It depends on the market and your experience: • Default Grid — Best for beginners and general purpose trading • Relative Orders — For active markets with high participation • Mountain — For stable, established markets • Neutral — If you're unsure or expect moderate swings • Valley — For high volatility or new assets

It's the core mechanic of the Staggered Orders strategy. It means the size of the orders (the volume) is not uniform but is graded across the grid, with different distributions depending on the mode you choose (Mountain, Neutral, Valley).

The bot places buy orders below the current price and sell orders above it. When the price swings, an order is filled, and the bot places a new order further out, capturing the spread as profit. The Staggered Orders strategy is designed to profit from volatility and fluctuations.
