Systematic Grid Trading on dYdX Perpetuals

How Gunbot enhances Grid Trading on dYdX

dYdX offers high performance and deep liquidity on its perpetual markets, an ideal environment for grid strategies. Gunbot connects directly to your dYdX account (v3 or v4), managing a grid of orders with precision. Its dynamic trailing and automatic profit target features help adapt the grid to dYdX's fast-moving order book, while you retain full self-custody of your funds.

Key Features

  • Direction Control
    Set the bot to trade LONG, SHORT, or let it decide automatically based on market trends.
  • Dynamic Profit Targets
    Use 'Auto Gain' to let Gunbot set profit targets based on volatility, adapting to current market conditions.
  • Grid Spacing
    Adjust the 'GRID_MULTIPLIER' to widen or tighten the distance between your grid orders.
  • Position Sizing
    Control your exposure with 'TRADING_LIMIT' per order and 'MAX_BUY_COUNT' to cap total position size.
  • Advanced Trailing
    Fine - tune both buy and sell trailing with custom percentage ranges to optimize entry and exit points.
  • Risk Management
    Set a 'MAX_LOSS' in quote currency to automatically close a position if it reaches an unacceptable loss level.

Grid trading is designed to place a series of buy (long) and sell (short) orders within a defined range. It systematically trades price fluctuations, aiming to capture profits from market volatility without needing to predict the overall direction.

I’m a rocky in this world and very surprise that I’m on the leaderboard must I say. I tried other platforms but Gunbot is the best because there is a very helpful community and developers. I tried some strats and at the end I’m very happy with MFrider for a mid / longterm.

I tested a few automated trading bot software last few weeks, and Gunbot stands out as the best one because it's not limited like the others. Well done, guys!

Would definitely give Gunbot 5 stars. Because even for someone like me, who is a complete beginner to the world of trading bots, and will obviously struggle with the typical 'newbie' error codes associated with setting up a new software that you are not familiar with. Their fast responding support team and wiki were more than enough to solve theseissues.

Trailing stops are great and all but let’s be honest, on markets that run 24/7 more is required. Much more. GunBot was something I wished for a long time and my only regret is not doing it sooner. The bot itself has been awesome so far, and the support has been even better. Very fast responses, super knowledgeable, and friendly.

It’s extremely intimidating to allow a bot to control large sums of your money. Support had me go live in two days from payment to first trade. I’m sitting here writing this, watching my daughter play, bot streaming in background, and I finally feel like I can look away from my screen for more than 10 minutes.

Its making money out of the box just after editing balance settings, I have a plan to use it for scalping using TA, turning it on or off depending on the market, but so far it is great.

I want to thank you for guiding me and being a motivator and a jumpstater for my GUnbot dev path 25 days ago. It was successfull so far. I want to share some of my success in comparison with bybits TOP Copy Traders and glimpse of My Gunbot custom Future COPYtrading software beating the best in the COPYTrading world.

The strats in the last year have been just crazy. The competition and especially the top 5 each time are just completely insane. The last year for Gunbot was unbelievable. If we had what we have right now, with no changes or updates, we would be already golden. Those strats just keep getting better and more refined. I never felt more confident in recommending Gunbot to a friend than now.

Best Software of its kind. I have been using Gunbot for almost a year now; its performance is remarkable and automation makes it a real money maker with added peace of mind. The team is very supportive and the documentation is excellent. Still more valuable features can be added that I am looking forward to see.

Bought Gunbot in November, fumbled with Sim in December... Kicked off real trading last month... And after 1 month I made back the ultimate lifetime licence cost 2 times. Thanks for your great software @GuntharDeNiro and to all those who helped make it stronger with new strategies and feedback for improving the systems over the years. This is the best bot I have seen in terms of control we have as a user.

I did a substantial amount of research before purchasing automated trading software and I can confidently say I have zero regrets going with Gunbot. I come from a manual trading background, and the support network here is absolutely insane in terms of helpfulness—the response time is faster than what you would get from your wife! This product deserves a 5 star review ALL DAY LONG.

I bought Gunbot back in the end of 2017, traded a bit, but then other things came in the way so I put it on ice. Recently I wrote a message in the contact form, and after like 20 minutes I got an email. They helped me get the bot back up running almost instantly. I did not expect such customer service after 3 years of owning a crypto bot. Gunbot withstands the test of time!

It's a great product. I spent about a year working on my own bot in Python before discovering Gunbot. It turned out to be exactly what I envisioned for my 'dream bot,' but far more advanced and mature. That's why I consider it an excellent product that is worth every dollar. Thank you very much, and Merry Christmas!

Having purchased Gunbot back in 2017, and using it on and off throughout the years, I am always impressed by the improvements made here internally and through the community. I rarely have to ask questions because I can find what I need on the wiki or through the telegram channel. You guys are amazing and thank you.

I’ve been using Gunbot for quite some time, and it has been a solid trading tool for me. The interface is easy enough to pick up, but it’s definitely not for complete beginners with no trading experience. You still need to think things through and apply your own knowledge to get the best results from its many features. In terms of performance, it has been consistent, and I’ve rarely run into issues. When I did have questions, the support team responded quickly and helped me out. If you know your way around trading and want a bot that offers flexibility, Gunbot is a good choice.
