Grid Trading Bot - Quantity Per Grid

In grid trading, your investment amount is distributed across the number of grids you set. The funds allocated to each grid are used to automatically place orders and build positions at different price levels. The quantity bought/sold per grid is affected

1. Investment Amount

The larger the investment amount, the more funds are allocated to each grid. This means:

  • The quantity per grid increases

  • Each grid captures more profit per trade

Example: If you invest 1,000 USDT across 10 grids, each grid gets ~100 USDT. If you invest 10,000 USDT, each grid gets ~1,000 USDT.

2. Number of Grids

The more grids you set, the more finely your investment is divided, meaning less is allocated per grid. This results in:

  • Smaller quantity per grid

  • Less profit per grid, but coverage of finer price movements

3. Minimum Order Precision of the Trading Pair

Different trading pairs have different minimum order precision requirements. For example: If a token's price is 100 USDT and the minimum precision is 0.1, then each grid needs at least 10 USDT to place an order successfully. In some cases, part of your investment may not be fully utilized.

Example: If the minimum investment per grid under certain parameters is 100 USDT, then investing 100 USDT vs. 190 USDT would result in the same quantity per grid — because the excess amount doesn't fully match the minimum precision requirement. Unused funds remain in the bot and are returned when the bot is closed. In the Futures Grid Bot, unused funds are counted as part of the margin.
