25 May 15:33
Q: What Is Gate.io Grid Trading?
A: Grid trading is a market investment strategy for market oscillations. Its specific strategy is to release pending orders according to their entry price.

Q: Who Is Suitable for Grid Trading?
A: Gate.io grid trading is divided into AI smart grid trading and manually configured grid trading. If you are new to trading, you can use the recommended parameters of Gate.io AI smart grid to set up; if you have some trading experience, you can refer to our recommended parameters or set them up manually.
Q: Which Trading Pairs Are Suitable for Grid Trading?
A: A Grid trading strategy is more likely to gain profit in a market with high volatility. Therefore, investing in a target currency with high volatility (such as BTC) can better utilize the advantages of grid trading. If you have some investment experience, you can also try other high volatility coins, but please be aware of the risks that are involved.
Q: Can I Set My Own Circuit Breaker on Grid Trading?
A: Yes, you can. When you set the grid strategy in the settings, you can set a price at which the target asset needs to reach. The smart program will automatically stop the profit/loss for you by selling out the coins.
Q: Will a Higher Number of Grids Result in a Bigger Gain for Me?
A: No, grid revenue = a single grid spread * the number of single grids* the number of completed sell orders. The number of grids is related to the frequency of trading. If you set too many grids, you may have too many ongoing transactions; if too few, you may not be able to complete the trade for a long time.
Q: The Denser the Grid, the Easier It Is for Me to Profit?
A: No, grid revenue = a single grid spread. * the number of single grids* the number of completed sell orders. The more grids there are, the more completed the grids will be. In effect, micro oscillation in the market will be captured and more transactions will be completed, and vice versa.
