Amount
The USDT or AUSD value you wish to allocate to your grid strategy.
Ensure you have sufficient available balance before creating your strategy.
Leverage
Select leverage up to 50x.
Higher leverage increases both potential profits and risks.
Recommended to start with lower leverage (1-3x) until familiar with the strategy.
Leverage Impact
1x leverage: Standard risk profile, similar to spot trading.
2-5x leverage: Moderate risk, suitable for experienced traders.
5-50x leverage: High risk, recommended only for advanced traders.
Liquidation Risk
Higher leverage increases liquidation risk during volatile market movements.
Consider setting narrower price ranges when using higher leverage.
Neutral Strategy Approach
PGT currently uses a Neutral strategy, optimized for sideways markets.
For best performance, set price ranges that encompass expected price action.
Recommendation: Use wide price ranges to capture the full extent of sideways movement.
High-Risk Configuration Warning
Combining high leverage with many grids significantly increases risk.
During extreme volatility, the bot may be unable to place orders quickly enough.
In such cases, the bot will automatically stop to protect your funds.
Always start conservative and adjust based on market conditions and experience.
