Crypto trading bots are automated computer programs that can help you buy low and sell high — place buy and sell orders at predetermined intervals within a predefined price range — automatically to capitalize on price fluctuations, especially in a volatile 24/7 crypto market.
But how does it work actually and can you really profit more substantially using a grid bot? Here's what you need to know about Bybit's Grid Bots.

orders in either price direction, creating a trading grid of orders waiting to be triggered. When the price hits your preset target, a buy order will be executed, and a sell order will be placed above on the next grid. When the price rises again to the next grid, the sell order will be executed, allowing you to profit from the price difference.

Whether you prefer owning the underlying and taking advantage of the volatility with the Spot market or dabbling with derivatives for increased leverage with the Futures market, Bybit has you covered with our Spot and Futures Grid Bots that will help take the emotions out of your trades and automate the tedious process of manually placing orders.

Suppose Trader A creates a Spot Grid Bot with the following parameters:

The system will calculate the actual amount in base token required to place an order and then automatically buy the corresponding amount of base token needed for the grid trading strategy by placing market orders.

When the grid trading strategy is successfully activated, the orders will be placed as follows:

When the BTC price hits 53,000 USDT, the buy order will be executed, and the sell order at 57,000 USDT will be placed above the next grid. When the price rises to 57,000 USDT, the sell order will be executed, and a buy order at 53,000 USDT will be placed — that is, a grid trade is now completed and profits are made from the price difference.

When the BTC price rises to 57,000 USDT, no buy/sell orders will be triggered. In a one-sided market, the BTC price rises to 61,000 USDT, which will trigger a sell order and place a buy order at 57,000 USDT. 

If the price continues to rise and reaches 65,000 USDT, a sell order will be placed at 65,000 USDT, and a buy order placed at 61,000 USDT.

Your grid bot will only operate in the upper and lower price bounds that have been configured. When the BTC price rises above 65,000 USDT or falls below 45,000 USDT, the strategy will be suspended and no new orders will be placed by the grid bot. 

If the market price falls outside of the price range, you can choose either to close the grid trading strategy to get the most out of your funds or wait for the price to return to the range you’ve set, at which time the strategy will resume. 

— Entry orders will be bought at the market price to ensure the successful execution of the grid strategy.

— Grid trading will be channeled directly through your Bybit Spot Account and Trading Bot Account. 

Grid trading is available for both desktop platform and app versions.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create your first grid bot on Bybit.

Click on Create to begin the Grid Bot creation process.

 For this specific example, we'll be showcasing how you can create a Spot Grid Bot.

b. You can click on Auto Fill to automatically enter intelligent parameter suggestions in your parameter settings. The recommended settings for AI parameters will be based on the historical data of the coin.

Please note that the higher the number of grids, the smaller the price intervals. This also means that your orders may be filled more frequently in a volatile market. However, your profits would be lower due to the multiple trading fees.

It’s important for you to understand how to calculate the profit of a grid trading strategy before creating your grid bot. The following is a guide to help you better understand the relationship between the different variables and the calculation of grid profit and total profit and loss.

Let's run an example to see how to calculate Grid Profit and Total P&L.

Suppose Trader A creates a grid trading strategy based on the following parameters:

Grid profits are realized from the auto buy and sell from the current grid trading strategy.

Grid Profit = Interval × Quantity of base token per grid (Buy Order) × Completed Grid Trade − Trading Fee

Trading Fee = Filled Order Quantity (Buy x Sell) x Trading Fee Rate x Sell Price

When the grid trading strategy is successfully activated, the base token required for the grid trading strategy will be automatically purchased, and the orders will be placed as follows: 

— You can view the quantity of each grid under 

— The quantity of sell orders is different from that of the buy orders due to the deduction of a 0.1% Spot trading fee.

When the BTC price hits 53,000 USDT, the buy order will be executed, and the sell order will be executed at 57,000 USDT, which will be placed above the next grid. When the price rises to 57,000 USDT, the sell order will be executed, and a buy order at 53,000 USDT will be placed. 

That is, a grid trade is completed and earns a profit of 341.81 USDT, based on the following calculation:

Grid Profit = 4,000 × 0.08795882 × 1 − 10.02 = 341.81 USDT

: Trading fee rates used here are for non-VIP users only. To learn more about Spot and Futures trading fees, please refer to 

The total profit is the grid profit plus the profit or loss of the base token.

Total Profit = (Equity of Base Token + Quote Token) − Total Investment

To view the value of the base token and quote token after the grid strategy has been successfully executed, please click on

on the right of the active grid bot column to enter the 

In this case, the position values ​​you can see under 

When the price rises to 57,000 USDT, Trader A's grid trading strategy completes a trade, profiting from the difference between 57,000 USDT and 53,000 USDT. As the price of BTC increases, so does the equity of the base token in your account: 

Total Profit = (57,000 × 0.17574172 + 14,452.26) − 23,610

Please note that when the base token value falls more than the profit earned by the grid bot, it will cause the total profit to turn negative.

Setting Up Your Copy Trade of Grid Trading

Leaderboard Explained: You can copy grid trading strategies by following the top-performing traders on the Grid Bot leaderboard. There are the following two ranking lists: 

Grid bots are ranked by total annual percentage rate (total APR), which is the sum of the profit or loss of the base token and grid profits. The rankings show the top ten performing grid bots based on the total APR performance over the past 24 hours and the past 7 days, respectively.

To learn more about how to calculate total APR, please refer to 

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create your copy trade order.
