Interface โ€‹

Every control on the dashboard, in the order it appears. Read this alongside the strategy overview โ€” each field shapes the ladder described there.

๐Ÿ“ท Screenshot: the full form (strategy selector, parameter fields, buttons).

Two groups behave differently once a cycle is running:

  • Build parameters define the ladder and are locked while the bot runs โ€” they only take effect on the next Calculate.
  • Runtime parameters (marked ๐ŸŸข below) can be changed live; the change is written to the running cycle on the fly.

Strategy direction โ€‹

Long / Short โ€‹

The direction of the whole strategy.

  • Long โ€” the ladder sits below price. You buy the dips and close higher. Use when you expect a range or an uptrend.
  • Short โ€” mirrored: the ladder sits above price, you sell the rallies and close lower.

Clicking Long or Short also pulls your Available balance from the exchange for that pair.

Build parameters โ€‹

These build the ladder. Locked while a cycle runs.

Available balance โ€‹

The budget the entire grid is sized from. It is fetched from the exchange when you click Long/Short.

  • You may reduce it to trade with less than your full balance.
  • Do not inflate it above what you actually hold โ€” the grid would plan orders the account can't cover.

Order Size โ€‹

The size of the first order. It must be at least the exchange's minimum for the pair; setting it about +5% above that minimum is the usual safe margin. Every deeper rung grows from this first size according to the progression.

Profit โ€‹

The target profit of the whole-position close, in percent. Typically โ‰ค 1%; the optimal range is 0.2โ€“0.5%. This margin (plus commission) is added above your average entry to price the closing order.

Exchange commission โ€‹

Your Binance commission, in percent. Binance is generally 0.25%, but you may qualify for a 0.1% bonus rate โ€” set whichever applies to you. The bot folds this into the close price so the target profit is net of fees.

Progression strategy โ€‹

How the order size grows as the grid goes deeper:

  • Progressive โ€” each step is scaled by a fixed multiplier.
  • Fibonacci โ€” sizes follow the Fibonacci sequence.

This governs how quickly the deposit is consumed down the ladder. Fibonacci is the most effective of the two.

Martingail โ€‹

The Martingale factor. It controls the gap of the closing order (the final sale) and how the end of the series behaves:

  • Higher โ†’ the end-of-series close triggers more effectively and more often, but the balance depletes very quickly.
  • Lower โ†’ the grid is very wide with good percentage overlap, but the final order sits further away than you'd want.

Guide ranges: min 25โ€“35 ยท optimal 35โ€“80 ยท excellent 80โ€“100+.

Progressive step โ€‹

Controls the overlap % between rungs โ€” the price distance between drops (Long) or rises (Short).

  • More overlap (> 20%) โ†’ lower risk (good), but orders fill less often (bad).
  • Find the balance for how much currency your account holds.

Indent price โ€‹

The distance between the first order and the current price โ€” how far below (Long) / above (Short) the market the ladder starts.

Runtime parameters ๐ŸŸข โ€‹

Changeable while the bot runs; written to the live cycle on the fly.

Active orders ๐ŸŸข โ€‹

How many orders sit live on the book at once. The bot keeps this many resting and places deeper ones as shallower rungs fill.

Request frequency ๐ŸŸข โ€‹

The polling period for the whole series, in milliseconds โ€” how often the bot checks order and price state. Lower = more responsive, more API calls.

Restart ๐ŸŸข โ€‹

When on, the bot starts a new cycle automatically after the current series closes. When off, it stops after the current cycle completes.

Actions โ€‹

Calculate โ€‹

Builds the grid from the current build parameters and renders it in the table. This is a preview โ€” nothing is sent to the exchange.

Save โ€‹

Persists the calculated grid and settings for the pair, so they survive a reload and can be started later.

Start / Stop โ€‹

Start begins the live cycle โ€” the bot places orders and manages them. The button then becomes Stop, which halts the cycle. (See Managing a pair for cancelling or deleting orders.)

Stream โ€‹

Beside Start/Stop, the live price ticker for the pair (e.g. BNBUSDT 556.15). It updates from the exchange stream and is the price the bot measures everything against.
