Trend-Aware Grid (SpotGridAdvanced-style)¶
What it does: An always-on buying ladder that only opens new cycles in an uptrend, selling each lot at a small gain. This buys in steps (rungs) as the price falls, and gives each buy its own sell order at a small fixed gain. There is no fixed upper limit.
Style: Grid · Difficulty: Advanced · Risk: medium · Ready: 0 of 1 variants
When people use it: It tends to work in rising or sideways markets.
Where it struggles: It struggles in long bear markets: rungs stack up and money stays tied up.
Markets it was written for: BTC, ETH, majors (spot). Timeframes: Trend filter 4h/1d.
Spot¶
An always-on buying ladder that only opens new cycles in an uptrend, selling each lot at a small gain.
Labels: Grid, Long, Spot, Advanced, Medium
Coming later
This needs grid trading, a feature that's coming. You can read how it will work, but you can't add it to your strategies yet.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Editable | What changing it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max rungs | 40 | No: coming later | The most buys it can stack. More rungs cover a deeper fall but tie up more money; fewer limit how much it can hold. |
| Gain per lot % | 0.5 | No: coming later | The profit each lot sells at. Higher earns more per lot but sells less often; lower sells more often, with fees taking a bigger share. |
| Trend average | 50 | No: coming later | New cycles open only above this average. Shorter opens cycles more readily; longer waits for a firmer uptrend. |
How it works (as shown in the app)
- This buys in steps (rungs) as the price falls, and gives each buy its own sell order at a small fixed gain. There is no fixed upper limit.
- New cycles open only when the price is above its 4-hour 50-candle average, and extra buys are blocked when a strong downtrend shows (ADX above 25 with sellers in control).
- It tends to work in rising or sideways markets.
- It struggles in long bear markets: rungs stack up and money stays tied up.
- There is no stop-loss by default; you'll see a warning with the worst-case amount held.
- Total money needed = number of rungs x amount per rung.
- Coming later: this version needs the grid module, which Apathia doesn't have yet, so it can't be imported or run today.
Warnings¶
- None yet: it can't be added.
Good to know¶
- It can't be added yet, so it can't be backtested or traded. This page shows how it is planned to work; details may change before it ships.
