How it works

How a Grid Bot works on dYdX

A grid bot divides a price range into a ladder of levels and places staggered buy and sell limit orders across them. As price oscillates inside the range, it buys each dip and sells each bounce, banking the spread on every round trip. A neutral grid can do this without a directional call.

On Coinner you set the upper and lower bounds, the number of grids and the order size. The bot runs the whole ladder on dYdX in the cloud 24/7 and re-arms each filled level automatically, so it keeps capturing volatility even while you sleep.
