Grid Parameter Calculator

How to use this grid parameter calculator

Fill in three things: the range (lower and upper bound), the total you plan to put in, and one target — for each completed round-trip on a grid, what percentage net you want at minimum. The default is 0.5%, meaning after the two fees are taken out, each grid should still leave you half a point. Hit the inputs and the right side immediately shows how many grids to lay, the price gap between each, and how much USDT goes into each grid. The half-circle gauge in the middle is the "grid density" indicator: the further the needle leans right, the tighter your parameters are packed — fills are more frequent but thinner.

The math is plain: take your target net plus the two round-trip fees, and you get "the minimum gross percentage each grid needs"; multiply that percentage by the midpoint of the range to convert it into an actual price gap; then divide the total range width by that gap, and you have the grid count. So raise the target net and the grid count drops (each grid wider and thicker); lower it and the count rises (denser and thinner). Lowering the fee rate works the same way — costs down means the same target net only needs a narrower grid, so you can fit more in.

Why set the net profit before the grid count

The mistake beginners make most is deciding "I'll lay 100 grids" first, then discovering the BTC range isn't wide, the per-grid spread is under 0.2%, and the round-trip fees eat 0.2% on their own — that grid earns nothing at all. The bot grinds away filling diligently, the order log is dense, but the balance keeps shrinking. The right order is the reverse: first make sure each grid can earn, then see how many grids that spacing fits into the range. This is the same logic behind the auto-recommended grid count in Binance's grid backtest; you can see the trade-offs in more detail in How to Set Spot Grid Parameters.
