Blending grid and scalping approaches​
StepGridScalp takes Gunbot's classic StepGrid strategy a step further by blending disciplined grid trading with dynamic scalping and strategic support buys. This unique combination means you can efficiently trade spot markets through rapid intraday price movements as well as deeper market dips, all within one cohesive, automated strategy.
Instead of manually switching strategies or constantly adjusting settings, StepGridScalp automatically evaluates market conditions in real-time. It adjusts your position sizing, entries, and exits accordingly, helping you stay profitable while reducing the need for constant oversight usually needed in fast-moving markets.
Grid Trading with a Scalping Twist​
At its heart, StepGridScalp relies on the familiar grid trading model, buying assets at set intervals as prices fall and selling them at higher intervals as prices recover. This ensures your trades consistently achieve profits after covering trading fees.
What makes StepGridScalp special, however, is its added scalping capability. When bullish momentum kicks in, your bot will execute quick, opportunistic trades designed to capture profits from short-term price jumps. Additionally, it places limit orders strategically at medium- or long-term support levels identified by Gunbot’s built-in trend detection, giving you a powerful tool for managing downturns.
Capturing Momentum with Dynamic Scalps​
When Gunbot detects rising bullish momentum, StepGridScalp actively seeks scalping opportunities. These trades are smaller than typical grid trades but timed perfectly around short-term market dips, such as when prices momentarily fall beneath key indicators like EMA10.
These quick trades utilize ultra-tight trailing stops, protecting your profits without risking them due to market volatility. StepGridScalp continuously recalibrates these scalp trades, ensuring each entry and exit remains optimized for current market conditions.
Smart Accumulation at Support Levels​
Alongside quick scalps, StepGridScalp strategically positions larger limit buy orders at important support levels identified through Gunbot’s trend analysis. These buys happen at points historically proven as strong support, lowering your overall average entry price.
This smart accumulation approach allows you to confidently navigate deeper corrections, turning market downturns into opportunities rather than setbacks.
Unified and Intelligent Trade Management​
StepGridScalp manages all your trades as a unified position. It calculates profitability against a common break-even point, ensuring that each trade genuinely contributes to your bottom line after accounting for fees.
The strategy automatically prevents unprofitable partial sells, ensuring every executed trade adds positive value to your portfolio.
Tuning StepGridScalp to Your Needs​
Despite its advanced mechanics, StepGridScalp remains easy to customize. Key parameters allow you to quickly fine-tune the strategy to your trading style and risk appetite:
- Adjust your standard trade sizes easily with the Trading Limit.
- Fine-tune your scalping trade size using the Scalp Trading Ratio.
- Set the aggressiveness of your support buys with simple Support Buy Ratios.
- Choose automatic or manual grid spacing through the Step Size parameter.
Adjusting these simple settings lets you comfortably manage risk, increase profitability, and easily adapt to changing market conditions.
Making the Most Out of StepGridScalp​
To maximize your results, here are some practical suggestions:
Try starting with very low trading amounts, and using a fairly unrestricted setup. This keeps your risk super low, while you can observe the strategy behavior.
Regularly check your scalps and support buys, making slight adjustments based on your personal observations.
Keep an eye on market volatility - if it changes significantly, adjust your grid spacing accordingly to avoid unnecessary losses. Moving to higher timeframes can also be a solution to reduce activitity in uncertain market situations.
Accurately configure your exchange fees in Gunbot. This small step is essential for ensuring profitability calculations remain accurate, especially when scalping.
