(IK) Grid ScriptThis is my take on a grid trading strategy. From Investopedia:
"Grid trading is most commonly associated with the foreign exchange market. Overall the technique seeks to capitalize on normal price volatility in an asset by placing buy and sell orders at certain regular intervals above and below a predefined base price."
This strategy is best used on sideways markets, without a definitive up or down major trend. Because it doesn't rely on huge vertical movement, this strategy is great for small timeframes. It only goes long. I've set initial_capital to 100 USD. default_qty_value should be your initial capital divided by your amount of grid lines. I'm also assuming a 0.1% commission per trade.
Here's the basic algorithm:
- Create a grid based on an upper-bound (strong resistance) and a lower-bound (strong support)
- Grid lines are spaced evenly between these two bounds. (I recommend anywhere between 5-10 grid lines, but this script lets you use up to 15. More gridlines = more/smaller trades)
- Identify nearest gridline above and below current price (ignoring the very closest grid line)
- If price crosses under a near gridline, buy and recalculate near gridlines
- If price crosses over a near gridline, sell and recalculate near gridlines
- Trades are entered and exited based on a FIFO system. So if price falls 3 grid lines (buy-1, buy-2, buy-3), and subsequently crosses above one grid line, only the first trade will exit (sell-1). If it falls again, it will enter a new trade (buy-4), and if it crosses above again it will sell the original second trade (sell-2). The amount of trades you can be in at once are based on the amount of grid lines you have.
This strategy has no built-in stop loss! This is not a 'set-it-and-forget-it" script. Make sure that price remains within the bounds of your grid. If prices exits above the grid, you're in the money, but you won't be making any more trades. If price exits below the grid, you're 100% staked in whatever you happen to be trading.
This script is more complicated than my last one, but should be more user friendly. Make sure to correctly set your lower-bound and upper-bound based on strong support and resistance (the default values for these are probably going to be meaningless). If you change your "Grid Quantity" (amount of grid lines) make sure to also change your 'Order Size' property under settings for proper test results (or default_qty_value in the strategy() declaration).
Gridbot
Grid Bot SimulatorThis script is a grid bot simulator for ranging/choppy markets. Prices are divided into grids, or trade zones, that will trigger signals each time a new zone is entered. During ranging markets, each transaction is followed by a “take profit.” As the market starts to trend, transactions are stacked (compare to DCA), until the market consolidates. No signals are triggered above the Upper Limit or Below the Lower Limit.
Settings overview:
Upper Limit/Lower Limit : Highest and Lowest values for entire grid.
Number of Grids : Number of trade zones.
Show Grids : Show or hide all gridlines.
Show Only Current Grids : Only display the grids just above and just below the current trade zone.
High/Low for signals : If enabled, signals are triggered as soon as the price touches the next zone. If disabled, signals are triggered after bar closes. Enable this for “Once Per Bar alerts. Disable for “Once Per Bar Close” alerts.
Highlight Trade Zones
The grid bot should work well during ranging/choppy markets. Each zone will have only one trade, and then will immediately take profit in the next zone.
Ranging/Choppy Market
However, trending markets can produce multiple signals in rapid succession:
Trending Market
If the gridlines are compressing the chart space, enable the “Show Only Current Grids” in settings.
Show Only Current Grids disabled
Show Only Current Grids enabled
When changing symbols, adjust the Upper and Lower Limits to accommodate the new symbol. Otherwise, the chart will look compressed.

The bot is a proof-of-concept and is considered experimental . Possible future updates will include Fibonacci grids and “smart entry/exits,” depending on the current trend. Comments and suggestions are encouraged.
BoilerRoomColdCaller - 3Commas Grid Bot SignalThis is very similar to 3Commas' grid bot, the range is from the previous 7 days' lowest low decreased by 3% to the previous 7 days' highest high increased by 3%, you can also adjust if you want 7 days' highest/lowest close price as your range or highest high and lowest low as your range. 10 buys and 10 sells within the range, the unit price would be (high-low)/19.
The buy signals and the sell signals will be triggered if:
- The previous close is below one specific green line (buy line), and the current close is above that specific green line, or
- The previous close is above one specific green line (buy line), and the current close is below that specific green line
Thus, whether the price is dropping below these lines or rising above these lines, a buy or sell signal will be triggered when they cross green or red lines. Your entry price will be the next open price after this candle's close reaches the lines.

Cyato Grid Basic Buy & Sell [BACKTEST]Private indicator
This Grid bot strategy creates buy orders when the price goes down one level or more, and sell order when the price goes up one level or more.
To avoid useless trades, the lastest traded level is disabled until another level is crossed.
To create the grid, one upper level and one lower level is calculated. Those 2 levels are either given by the user using "MANUAL" mode or automatically calculated by an AI. The space between these two levels are then divided equally into several steps, creating the grid. The number of steps is chosen by the user, from 3 to 20.
HOW IT WORKS
This is the Backtest version meaning this is the one you should use with the Strategy Tester (more below).
Select either "MANUAL" or "AI" mode.
When using "MANUAL", you have to configure an upper level and a lower level.
When using "AI", the upper and lower level are automatically calculated from last 7 days high/low plus a 3% deviation. You can configure the timeframe and the deviation.
Select the grid quantity, from 3 to 20.
Example with 3:
Example with 10:
Example with 20:
You can choose between "Once Per Bar Close" or "Once Per Bar" alert type.
"Once Per Bar Close" will wait candle close to confirm a trade.
"Once Per Bar" will trigger a trade if the price crossed a step anytime inside a candle. Note that the backtest will still use bar close price in its calculation.
BACKTESTING
The strategy will buy 1 contract when a BUY signal appears and sell 1 contract when a SELL signal appears.
Here 1 contract = 1 BTC
The strategy can buy up to 20 contracts. Pyramiding is enabled.
The Backtest info panel is here to show how many trades are open in the backtest.
I know very well that a backtest has no value if several trades are left open. That is why I coded a feature to close all open trades at once on the last candle. This feature can be turned on and off.

To create the grid, one upper level and one lower level is calculated. Those 2 levels are either given by the user using "MANUAL" mode or automatically calculated by an AI. The space between these two levels are then divided equally into several steps, creating the grid. The number of steps is choosen by the user, from 3 to 20.
How it Works
This is the Alert Setup version meaning this is the one you should use to create alerts (more below).
Select either "MANUAL" or "AI" mode.
When using "MANUAL", you have to configure an upper level and a lower level.
When using "AI", the upper and lower level are automatically calculated from last swing high/low.
Select the grid quantity, from 3 to 20.

Example with 10:
Example with 20:
Creating the Alerts
When opening the alert popup, select "Cyato Grid" in the condition.
Make sure to use the option "Once per bar close" in order to stay in sync with the graphics on chart. (Only use "Once per bar" if you really know what you are doing).
Available alerts:
- BUY : Buy alert. Green label on chart.
- SELL: Sell alert. Red label on chart.

Gridbot visualizor and advisor V1.0This scripts visualizes the buy and sell levels as used by gridbots.
It also gives you some recommended settings if you want to use manual mode instead of AI mode, based on timeframe, target grid size etc.
The inputs should be pretty much self explanatory, if you have any questions feel free to drop me a message below.
Have fun, be healthy and profitable!

This script uses some code or ideas from:
ck-3commas-GRID-bot-Visualisation by ChrisKaye.
How to make the status box to the right was learned from Daveatt his scripts.
ck - 3commas GRID bot VisualisationHi,
This is a very quick script indicator to show the “grid” for an active (or one you are planning to manually configure) 3commas Grid bot.
To use, you’ll need to go to your Grid bot page in 3commas and enter the Upper and Lower Limit Values, either from the “manual” section if you are planning a new Grid bot, or from an open Grid trade by clicking the monthly button and using the Upper value (in green) and the Lower value (in red).
Have fun!
