A Leveraged Grid is an advanced trading strategy that amplifies invested capital through leverage to magnify returns, building on the foundation of a standard grid.

If you are bullish on ETH and plan to invest 100 USDT in a Leveraged Grid with 3x leverage, this effectively means you are deploying 300 USDT to run the grid bot. Your actual investment is only 100 USDT, but grid profits are generated from the full 300 USDT, achieving 3x returns.

If you are bearish on ETH and currently hold 1 ETH, you can use a Leveraged Grid to go short and amplify profits. By selecting 3x leverage and investing 1 ETH into the grid, the grid runs on a total of 3 ETH. Profits are generated from these 3 ETH, thus achieving 3x returns.

Leveraged Grids limit leverage to within 5x, reducing liquidation risk. However, please note the estimated liquidation price and try to set parameters so it falls outside the grid range.

1. Open the Pionex App, click Create Bot- Leveraged Grid, select the direction (long/short), and set the grid parameters.

2. Currently, Leveraged Grids support leverage multiples of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x. Choose leverage based on your risk tolerance. After setting all parameters, you’ll see the estimated liquidation price before placing an order. If the coin price hits this level, your grid orders will auto-close and be liquidated—please stay alert.

3. Key Notes

1) To improve market liquidity, Leveraged Grid is built through the futures market. Trading pair prices and trading volumes are the same as in the futures market.

2) Because the bot holds a futures position, funding applies at every leverage, including 1x. The daily rate shown on the bot ("Current daily interest" when you create it, "Daily Rate" on a running bot) is the position's funding rate per day (funding rate × 3). It shows 0% when your direction does not pay funding at the current rate. Funding is settled at each funding interval (by default every 8 hours). For the formula, settlement times and where to check your funding history, see Funding Fee.

3) No transaction fees are charged while the Leveraged Grid runs. When you close the order, reduce the position, or withdraw profits, 20% of the total profit is collected as an order management fee.

4) Monitor the liquidation price: when the coin price hits it, the robot auto-liquidates. Grid profits generated during operation will auto-top up your margin to prevent liquidation due to insufficient funds. You can also manually add margin to lower the liquidation price. Hitting the liquidation price means losing both principal and margin.

Q: Can I modify order parameters after starting the Leveraged Grid bot?
A: No. Once created, parameters like price range and leverage cannot be changed. However, you can set take-profit/stop-loss, adjust margin, or withdraw grid profits.

Q: Is the funding charge deducted from total profit?
A: Yes. The funding charge is added to Trend PnL each time funding is settled, and Total profit = Grid profit + Trend PnL, so it is reflected in total profit. To see each charge, tap Trend PnL → View records of interest payments, or tap Detail → Order History → Loan interest expenses.

Q: Why does my 1x Leveraged Grid still show a daily rate?
A: Leveraged Grid is built through the futures market, so the bot holds a futures position. Funding applies to a futures position at every leverage, including 1x. For how it is calculated, see Funding Fee.

Q: Does Leveraged Grid charge a trading fee?
A: No. No transaction fees are charged while the bot runs. When you close the order, reduce the position, or withdraw profits, 20% of the total profit is collected as an order management fee.
