Bot Behavior
When You Click Start
The bot immediately places orders at each grid level based on your configuration. The number of orders equals the number of grids you selected.
During Operation
When price drops to a grid level → Bot opens a long position
When price rises to the next grid level → Bot closes for profit
This cycle repeats as price oscillates within your range
Restarting the Bot
To restart: Click Stop → Wait for open orders/positions to close → Click Start again with your desired settings.

Risk Warning
Only invest what you can afford to lose. Grid bots work best in ranging/sideways markets. In strong trending markets, the bot may accumulate positions that move against you. Consider starting with small amounts to understand the strategy before committing larger capital.
