Grid trading basics

Grids trade the chop, not the trend.

A grid places buys and sells at fixed steps across a price range, so it earns its keep in sideways markets. Run by hand, the grid needs constant tending: orders refill, ranges drift, and every adjustment is a manual decision at an inconvenient hour. The harder failure is a trending market, which walks price straight out of the range and leaves the grid holding one side. Most people who try grids by hand stop because the upkeep costs more attention than the idea ever needed.

Liquid Edge runs your chosen strategy as a bot on the exchange account you already hold.

Know what a range is forA grid is a tool for a sideways market, not an all weather strategy. Deciding the range and the step size is the real work, and it happens before any order is placed.
Watch the exits, not the fillsThe risk sits at the edges of the range. Decide in advance what happens when price leaves it, because that decision is much harder to make while it is happening.
We never get withdrawal rights. Anywhere.On a perp DEX your funds sit in an isolated onchain vault only you can withdraw from. On a centralized exchange the exchange custodies them and we connect with API permissions limited to trading. Neither route lets Liquid Edge move your capital.
