Recently, when people around me talk about the market, they always ask me if it has gone up or down, and whether they should buy the dip. To be honest, I haven't been paying much attention to the market lately; I've been using grid trading for more than half a month, lying flat, and the earnings are stable, which is much more comfortable than worrying about the daily ups and downs.
Today, I want to chat with everyone about this age-old profitable tool — grid trading, focusing on content that is friendly for beginners; even veterans can find some gaps to fill.
The official explanation sounds complicated, but to put it simply, grid trading is just an automated buying and selling robot. You preset a series of buy and sell price lines above and below the current price. When the price drops to a line, it automatically buys; when it rises, it automatically sells, all without any manual operation from you. Just like in the picture, there are plenty of buy and sell orders hanging there, and they will execute when the time comes.
The principle is really not complicated at all; if you break it down, it’s easy to understand: Each grid strategy will first divide your invested capital into several parts; for example, the one below is divided into 7 parts. When the price drops and hits the buy line, it automatically triggers a buy order; when the price rises and hits the sell line, it automatically sells. Back and forth, once low buying high selling is completed, the profit is directly pocketed, and the robot does all the work around the clock, 7×24 hours without you needing to watch the market.
It works the same way when the price continues to rise.
When it rises one grid and retraces one grid, a profit is completed; the profit for each grid is fixed;
Even if it drops partway and triggers a buy order, as long as it rebounds again, you can still make a profit equal to one grid. 
Every time you complete a round of buying low and selling high, you earn a profit for one grid. Calculating it out, the money earned is far higher than the transaction fees, and the cost can basically be ignored.
Speaking of transaction fees, I want to remind everyone to use our exclusive link to register for OKX, which offers a permanent 20% fee rebate. Grid trading is inherently about low margins and high volume, and the fees saved are all pure profit. Registration link: https://jump.do/zh-Hans/xlink?checkProxy=true&proxyId=2
Everyone is familiar with regular grids, and we at AiCoin also have a particularly useful feature — movable grids. Many exchanges' contract grids do not support automatic adjustment of ranges; during a one-sided market, you either miss the opportunity or get trapped. We are different; when you perform a long contract grid, the range will automatically shift upward; when you perform a short contract grid, it will automatically shift downward. After enabling this, as the market fluctuates, the upper and lower limits of the entire grid will automatically adjust.
You do not need to manually change parameters; even if the market goes awry, you can still continue to earn. It’s simply a savior for lazy people; I can’t live without this feature now.
Next, let's talk about practical operation — how to set up a grid on AiCoin, which can actually be done in two steps. Directly on the market page below, find the "AI Grid" entrance, and click in to see two options: one-click creation and manual creation.
Beginners don’t need to figure out the parameters on their own; just choose one-click creation. For example, below BTC, there are many pre-optimized strategies available, with each grid's profit, expected monthly return, and minimum investment amount clearly marked. Just pick a suitable one and start it directly.
Many people lose money using grid trading, and they usually fall into the same trap: they open grids during a one-sided market and get deeper into trouble. To know when it's suitable to enter the market, I'll teach you the simplest judgment method: look at the Bollinger Bands.
I’ve discussed the Bollinger Bands in my previous live stream; just remember one conclusion: when they narrow, the market will be choppy; when they widen, the market will trend. 
When the upper and lower bands gradually narrow and get closer together, it indicates that it is highly likely that the next market will be choppy, and it is a good time to open the grid; if the bands are getting wider, it means a trend is about to emerge, and you should quickly stop the grid and not hold on blindly.
I personally prefer using a 45-minute or 1-hour period; it’s a shorter mid-term strategy, so I only check once or twice a day. If there is no big change in the profit curve, I leave it alone. Friends who are in for the long term can extend the period for even less hassle.
When setting the number of grids, you should also pay attention; a profit of 0.2%-0.5% for each grid is reasonable. If the grids are too close, the profit is not enough to cover the fees; if they are too far apart, you may not trigger a sale all day and won’t earn anything. The most important point: always set a stop loss. Grids are not foolproof; if you encounter a significant one-sided market, stop when needed, and don't stubbornly hold on. I've only stopped a few times when my computer automatically shut down; normally I let it run, but I always have the stop loss line set.
Finally, to summarize: Grids are naturally designed for choppy markets; when prices fluctuate within a range, the earnings are most stable. They can be used for cryptocurrency, stock ETFs, or foreign exchange, suitable for people who want to earn steady profits without having to monitor the market daily. However, they are not omnipotent; do not use them in clearly trending one-sided markets, and be sure to flexibly adjust based on market judgment. In bear markets, do not pursue big profits; earning small, steady profits is much better than blindly struggling and losing principal. This is also why I keep bringing it up from time to time; it is truly very friendly for ordinary people.
