Usage Guide
Part 1: The concept and general possibilities of the "Multi Channel GRID & DCA LTF" strategy
Introduction
Welcome to the guide to "Multi Channel GRID & DCA LTF", a powerful and versatile automated trading strategy for the TradingView platform. This tool was developed for traders who are looking for flexibility, control and a high degree of adaptability to various market conditions.
The strategy is based on a hybrid approach that combines two popular and time-tested techniques.:
1. GRID (grid trading): The classic method of averaging a position is by placing a grid of limit orders.
2. DCA (Dollar Cost averaging): Smart position averaging based on signals from external indicators.
However, "Multi Channel GRID & DCA LTF" goes far beyond the simple combination of these two techniques. The strategy includes a number of unique and innovative features, such as cascading MultiGRID grids for dealing with extreme volatility, Channel Mode range trading mode for profiting from sideways movement, and Low Time Frame analysis (LTF) to achieve surgical accuracy in backtesting. Deep customization options for risk management, capital, take profits, and stop losses allow you to configure a strategy for almost any trading style, asset, and timeframe.
The basic idea: How does it work?
Let's take a detailed look at each of the key concepts embedded in the logic of the strategy.
1. GRID — Automatic placement of buy and sell orders at certain price intervals.
This is a fundamental mode of operation. Its main goal is to systematically improve the average entry price for a position if the market is going against you.
* The principle of operation: After opening the base (first) order (`BO`), the strategy automatically places a series of pending limit orders (here they are called "safety orders" or "SO") at certain price intervals. For a long position, orders are placed below the entry price, and for a short position, orders are placed higher.
* Target: When the price moves against an open position, it consistently hits and executes safety orders. Each such execution adds additional volume to the position at a more favorable price, thereby shifting the overall average entry price (`position_avg_price') closer to the current market price. This means that a much smaller corrective movement will be required to gain ground.
* Flexibility: You have full control over the geometry of the grid: the number of safety orders, the percentage distance between them (`SO Step`), and you can even set a coefficient that will increase this step for each subsequent order (`SO Multiplier`), creating an expanding grid.
2. DCA (Signal Averaging) — Smart Averaging
This mode adds an additional layer of analysis to the averaging process. Instead of just buying/selling at the set price levels, the strategy waits for a confirmation signal.
* Working principle: You can connect any external indicator (for example, RSI, CCI, or even your own complex signal system) to the strategy, which outputs numerical values. As standard, 1 is used for a long signal, and -1 is used for a short signal. The strategy will place the next averaging order only at the moment when it receives the appropriate signal.
* Goal: To average a position not just during a fall (or a rise for a short), but at the moments that your main trading system considers the most favorable for this. This allows you to avoid "catching falling knives" and enter only if there are good reasons.
3. Hybrid Mode (GRID+DCA) is the best of the previous two modes
This mode is designed for maximum filtering and control. It requires two conditions to be fulfilled simultaneously.
* Working principle: The safety order will be executed only if the price has reached the calculated grid level and a confirmation signal has been received from your external indicator. If a confirmation signal is received from an external indicator, the next calculated grid level activates the limit order.
* Goal: To create the most reliable averaging system that protects against premature entries and requires double confirmation (both by price and indicator) before increasing the position size.
4. MultiGRID — Adaptation to extreme volatility
This is one of the most powerful and unique features of a strategy designed to survive and make a profit in the face of strong, protracted trends or "black swans".
* The problem it solves: The usual grid of orders has a limited depth. If the price goes beyond the last safety order, the strategy loses the opportunity to average and becomes vulnerable.
* The principle of operation: The MultiGRID function allows you to create "cascades" — several grids following one another. When all the orders of the first grid are executed, the strategy does not stop. Instead, she can activate the second, third (and so on) a grid of orders. The new grid can be activated by one of two triggers:
1. Offset: The new grid is activated when the price passes another set percentage deviation from the last executed order.
2. Signal: The new grid is activated when a signal is received from an external indicator.
* Goal: To significantly expand the working range of the strategy. This allows it to adapt to strong market movements that would "break" the usual grid, and continue to effectively average a position at a much greater depth of decline or growth.
5. Channel Mode — Trading in the range
This feature turns a standard averaging strategy into a machine for "farming" profits within a price channel that is formed during a sideways market movement.
* The problem it solves: In the standard grid strategy, after partially closing a take profit position, the volume of this part "leaves" the trade until the deal is fully closed. You are missing the opportunity to reuse this capital.
* Operating principle: When Channel Mode is enabled, the following happens. Suppose the price went against you, executed several safety orders, and then turned around and reached one of the partial take profits. At this point, the strategy is:
1. Fixes the profit, as it should be.
2. Instantly places a new limit order to buy (or sell for a short) at exactly the same price level where the last triggered safety order was executed. The volume of this order is equal to the volume of the part that was just closed for take profit.
3. If the price goes down again and executes this "repeat" order, the strategy immediately sets a corresponding take profit for it at the level where the previous profit was taken.
* Goal: To create a continuous buy-sell cycle within the local range (channel). The lower limit of the channel is the price of the last averaging, and the upper limit is the price of a partial take profit. This allows you to repeatedly profit from sideways price fluctuations, without waiting for the full closure of the main, large transaction.
6. LTF (Lower Timeframe Analysis) — Surgical precision of backtesting
This feature is critically important for obtaining reliable results during historical testing (backtesting) of grid strategies.
* The problem it solves: The standard testing mechanism in TradingView has a serious limitation. Working, for example, on a 4-hour chart, he sees only 4 candle points: Open, High, Low and Close. He does not know in what order the price moved within these 4 hours. He could have touched High first and then Low, or vice versa. For grid strategies, this is fatal — the engine can show that a take profit has been executed, although in reality the price first went down, collected the entire grid of orders and only then turned around.
* How it works: When you turn on the LTF mode, the strategy for each candle on your main chart (for example, 4H) requests and analyzes all candles from the lower timeframe you specified (for example, 1-minute). Then it virtually trades the entire price path for these minute candles, executing orders, take profits and stop losses in the sequence in which they would occur in reality. It works in the single take profit mode of the Grid strategy.
* Goal: To provide the most realistic and reliable backtest that reflects the real dynamics of the market. This allows you to avoid false expectations and accurately assess the potential performance of the strategy.

Part 2: Detailed description of the strategy settings
This section is your main guide to all the switches and options available in the strategy. Understanding each setting is the key to unlocking the full potential of this powerful tool.
1. 🛡️ Risk Management 🛡️
This group contains fundamental parameters that determine the basic logic of risk management and the geometry of grid orders.
* Strategy type: Determines the direction of transactions.
* Long: The strategy will only open long positions (buy).
* Short: The strategy will only open short positions (sell).
* Both: The strategy will work both ways, opening long or short depending on the incoming signal.
* SO Count: Sets the maximum number of Safety (averaging) Orders (SO) that the strategy will place within the same grid. If you have MultiGRID enabled, this number applies to each individual grid.
* SO Step (%): This is the base percentage deviation from the entry price at which the first safety order will be placed. For example, at a value of 0.5, the first SO in a long trade will be placed 0.5% lower than the opening price of the base order.
* SO Multiplier: A coefficient that exponentially increases the step for each subsequent safety order. This allows you to create an expanding grid where averaging orders are placed further and further apart, which is effective with strong and accelerating price movements.
* *The step formula for the nth order*: Step(N) = (SO Step) * (SO Multiplier ^(N-1)).
* If the value is 1, all steps will be the same.
* With a value of 1.6, the step of the second SO will be 1.6 times larger than the first, the step of the third will be 1.6 times larger than the second, and so on.
* 1️⃣ TP/SL: These are simplified settings for quick configuration. They allow you to turn on/off the main take profit and stop loss and set basic percentage values for them. More detailed settings for these parameters can be found in the relevant sections below.
// ------------------------
2. 💰 Money Management 💰
Everything related to position size, leverage, and capital is configured here.
* Volume BO (Base Order): Determines the size of the trade's opening order.
* Volume BO: A fixed amount in the quote currency (for example, in USDT).
* USDT (check mark): Manages the information in the comments to the orders. If enabled, the volume of orders in USDT will be displayed in the comments. This is convenient for visual analysis and for sending the amount of USDT by the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} via webhooks when connecting the strategy to the exchange or trading terminals.
* or % of deposit: The amount calculated as a percentage of the available capital of the strategy. The check mark to the right of this field enables this mode. Important: using a percentage activates the effect of compounding (compound interest), as the amount of each new transaction will be automatically recalculated based on the current capital (initial capital + profit/loss). If enabled, the percentage of orders will be displayed in the comments. This is convenient for visual analysis and for sending percentages on the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} via webhooks when connecting the strategy to the stock exchange, trading terminals, or creating Copy trading.
* Martingale: The coefficient applied to the volume of orders. It increases the size of each subsequent insurance order compared to the base one.
* Volume formula for the nth SO: Volume SO (N) = (Volume BO) * (Martingale^N).
* With a value of 1.2, the volume of the first SO will be 1.2 times greater than the base, the second — 1.44 times (`1.2 * 1.2`) and so on.
* Leverage: Specify the size of your leverage. This parameter is used exclusively for calculating and displaying the approximate liquidation price. It does not affect the size of positions, but it helps to visually assess the risks.
* Liquidation: Enables or disables the calculation and display of the liquidation line on the chart.
* Margin type: Allows you to select a method for calculating the liquidation price, simulating the logic of exchanges:
* Isolated: The liquidation price is calculated based on the size and leverage of the current open position only.
* Cross: The calculation simulates using the entire available balance to maintain a position. In the strategy, the liquidation price is calculated as the level at which the loss on the current transaction is equal to the current capital.
* Commission (%): Specify the percentage of your exchange's commission per transaction. The correct value of this parameter is crucial for obtaining realistic backtest results.
// ------------------------
3. 🕸️ Grid Management 🕸️
This group is responsible for the logic of safety orders and advanced mechanics such as Channel Mode and MultiGRID.
* SO Type: Defines the logic of placing averaging orders.
* GRID: Classic grid. All safety orders are placed in advance as limit orders.
* DCA: Signal averaging. The strategy is waiting for a signal from an external indicator to place a market averaging order.
* GRID+DCA: Hybrid. The strategy waits for a signal, and if it arrives, places a limit order at the appropriate price level of the grid or executes a market order if the signal has arrived below the limit order level.
* Signal for SO: A data source (indicator) that will be used for signals in DCA and GRID+DCA modes.
* ↔️ Channel Mode: When this option is enabled, the strategy tries to trade in a sideways range. After partially closing a take profit position, it immediately places a limit order for re-entry at the price of the last triggered safety order. This creates a buy-sell cycle within the local channel.
* Best Price Only: This filter adds an additional condition for averaging in DCA and MultiGRID modes (when it operates on a signal). The next averaging order or a new grid will be activated only if the current price is more favorable (lower for long, higher for short) than the price of the previous entry.
* 🧩 MultiGRID ⮕ Enables cascading grid mode.
* Grid Count: The total number of grids that can be activated sequentially.
* Offset: Percentage deviation from the price of the last order of the previous grid. When this margin is reached, the following grid of orders is activated (this mode does not require a signal).
* Or signal: Allows you to use the signal from an external indicator as a trigger to activate the next grid. The checkmark on the right turns on this mode.
// ------------------------
4. 🎯 Entry and Stop 🎯
This group of settings allows you to fine-tune the conditions for starting a new trade and all aspects related to protective stop orders, including the complex mechanics of trailing and managing SL after partial take profits.
* 🎯 Signal: A data source (indicator) that will be used to determine when to enter a trade. The strategy expects a value of 1 for the start of a long trade and -1 for a short trade.
* Min Bars: Sets the minimum number of candles that must pass from the moment of opening the previous trade to the moment of opening the next one. A value of 0 disables this filter. This is a useful tool to prevent overly frequent entries in a "noisy" market.
* Non-stop: If this option is enabled, the strategy ignores the Entry Signal and opens a new trade immediately after closing the previous one (taking into account the Min Bars filter, if it is set). This turns the strategy into a constantly working mechanism that is always on the market.
* 🛑 SL Type: Defines the base price from which the stop loss percentage will be calculated. The stop loss in the first section must be enabled for this block of settings to work.
* From the entry point: SL is always calculated from the opening price of the very first base order. It remains static throughout the entire transaction unless it is moved by other functions.
* From breakeven line: SL is dynamically recalculated and shifted each time a safety order is executed. It always follows the average price of the position, being at a given percentage distance from it.
* From last executed SO: SL is recalculated from the price of the last executed order, whether it is a base or a safety order.
* From last SO: SL is calculated from the price of the most recent possible safety order in the grid. This is usually the most remote and conservative type of SL.
* Trailing SL Type: Defines the algorithm by which the stop loss will move after its activation.
* Standard: Classic trailing. After activation, SL will follow the price at a fixed distance.
* ATR: SL will follow the price at a distance equal to the value of the ATR indicator multiplied by the specified multiplier.
* External Source: SL will follow any selected line of the third-party indicator.
* Period and Multiplier: Common parameters for all types of trailing.
* Source: The source of the line for the trailing SL of the third-party indicator.
* Trailing SL after entry: The mode of activation of the trailing SL after entering the transaction
* SL management after TP (sections 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣): These three blocks allow you to create a complex stop loss management logic as profits are recorded.
For each take profit level (TP1, TP2, TP3), you can configure:
* SL BE / SL TP1 / SL TP2: When the corresponding TP is reached, the stop loss will be moved to the breakeven point (for TP1), to the TP1 price level (for TP2) or to the TP2 price level (for TP3).
* Trailing SL: When the corresponding TP is reached, the trailing stop loss is activated according to the settings above.
* By ↔️ Signal: A very powerful option. If it is enabled, the above action (SL transfer or trailing activation) will occur when the opposite trading signal is received from an external indicator. This allows you to protect profits or reduce losses if the market turns sharply, even before reaching the target.
* SL Delay ⮕ Allows you to delay the activation of the stop loss.
* Number of Bars: The Stop loss will be physically placed on the market only after the specified number of candles has passed since entering the trade. This can help to avoid "taking out" the stop with a random short movement (squiz) immediately after opening a position.
* SL Block: Unique defensive mechanics for trading both ways (`Strategy Type: Both`).
* Number of SL: If the strategy receives the specified number of stop losses in a row in one direction (for example, 2 stops long), it temporarily blocks the opportunity to open new trades in that direction.
* Lock Reset mode:
* By direction: The lock is lifted if a profitable trade is closed in the allowed direction or if a stop loss is triggered in the opposite direction.
* First profit: The lock is lifted after closing any profitable transaction, regardless of its direction.
// ------------------------
5. ✅ Take Profit ✅
This group of settings provides comprehensive control over profit taking, from a simple take profit to a complex system of partial closures and trailing.
* ✅ TP Type: Defines the base price for calculating the percentage deviation of the take profit.
* From entry point: TP is calculated from the base order price.
* From breakeven line: TP dynamically follows the average position price.
* From last executed SO: TP is calculated from the price of the last executed order.
* Filters for closing on signal
* Only ➕: If TP is triggered by a signal, the deal will be closed only if it is in the black relative to the average price.
* Or >TP: If TP is triggered by a signal, the trade will be closed only if the closing price is better than (or equal to) the estimated price of this TP.
* TP type of trailing: Yes, take profit has a trailing too! It works differently than the SL trailing.
* Standard / ATR: After the price touches the "virtual" TP level, the trailing is activated. He does not place a stop order, but begins to move away from the price, dynamically moving the limit order to close further and further in the profitable direction, allowing him to collect the maximum from the impulse movement.
* External Source: TP will follow any selected line of the third-party indicator.
* Period and Multiplier: Parameters for calculating the trailing margin TP.
* Source: The source of the line for the trailing TP of the third-party indicator.
* TP level settings (sections 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣, 4️⃣): The strategy supports up to four independent take profit levels, which allows for a flexible system of partial commits.
For each level, you can set:
* TP: Enable the level and set its percentage deviation from the base price.
* Size: What percentage of the current position will be closed when this level is reached. For the last active TP, this parameter is ignored, and 100% of the remaining position is closed.
* Trailing TP: Enable the above-described trailing mechanism for this particular level.
* Signal: Enable closing based on the signal from the external indicator for this level.
* Or take: If both the closing on the signal and the limit order are enabled, then whatever comes first will work.
* After SO: Activate this TP level only after the specified number of safety orders has been executed. This allows you to set closer targets for riskier (deeply averaged) positions.
// ------------------------
6. 🔬 GRID and MultiGrid Analysis on Lower TFs (LTF) 🔬
This group activates one of the most important functions for accurate testing of grid strategies.
* Enable LTF Calculation ⮕ The main switch of the analysis mode on the lower timeframes.
* Timeframe selection: A drop-down list where you can select a timeframe for detailed analysis. For example, if your main schedule is 1 hour, you can select 1 minute here. The strategy will emulate the trading of minute candles within each hour candle.
❗️Important: As mentioned in the first part, the use of this mode is critically necessary to obtain realistic backtest results, especially for strategies with a dense grid of orders. Without it, the results may be overly optimistic and not reflect the real dynamics of the market. It should be remembered that TradingView imposes a limit on the number of intra-bars (minor TF bars) that can be requested. This is usually about 100,000 bars.
// ------------------------
7. 🕘 Backtest Date Range 🕘
This group allows you to focus testing on a specific historical period.
* Limit Date Range: Enables date filtering.
* Start time: The date and time when the strategy will start analyzing and opening deals.
* End time: The date and time after which the strategy will stop opening new deals and complete testing.
// ------------------------
8. 🎨 Visualization 🎨
All the options responsible for the appearance and information content of the chart are collected here.
* Show PnL labels: Enables/disables the display of text labels with the result (profit/loss) after closing each trade.
* Statistics Table: Enables/disables the main dashboard with detailed statistics on the results of the backtest.
* Strategy Settings Table: Enables/disables an additional panel that summarizes all the key parameters of the current configuration.
* Monthly Profit Table: Enables/disables a table with a breakdown of percentage returns by month and year.
* Table settings: For each of the three tables, you can individually adjust the Text size and Table Position on the screen to position them as conveniently as possible.
* Decimal places: Defines how many decimal places will be displayed in numeric values in tables and on labels.
// ------------------------
9. ✉️ Webhook Settings ✉️
This group is intended for traders who want to automate trading on strategy signals using third-party services and exchanges (for example, 3Commas, WunderTrading, Cryptorobotics, Cryptohopper, Bitsgap, Binance, ByBit, OKX, Pionex, Bitget or proprietary solutions).
For each key event in the strategy, there is a separate switch and a text field:
* Webhook for Open: Enable and set a message for the webhook that will be sent when the base order is opened.
* Webhook for Averaging: A message sent when executing any insurance order.
* Webhook for Take Profit: A message sent when closing on take profit (including partial ones).
* Webhook for Stop-Loss: A message sent when a stop loss is closed.
You can insert a JSON code or any other message format that your service requires for automation into the text fields. The strategy supports special placeholders (for example, `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}`), which allow you to dynamically insert the necessary data into the message, such as the amount of USDT or the percentage of the deposit for entry, averaging and take profit orders.
GRID
Marcius Studio® - Fishing Net™Fishing Net™ — a dynamic grid trading strategy with predefined entry levels and built-in risk management.
The strategy gradually builds positions as the price pulls back, and closes all trades when the Take Profit level is reached.
The main concept is to accumulate positions at multiple levels, like a net, and capture potential upward movement without promising guaranteed profits.
Important! This strategy is designed for HIGH-LIQUIDITY assets (ETH / BTC / SOL etc.) and is not suitable for LOW-LIQUIDITY assets.
Strategy Parameters
Level Step (%) : distance between grid levels.
Shift (%) : offset of the first entry level relative to price.
Take Profit (%) : target for closing all open positions.
Number of Orders (1–10) : total number of grid levels.
Risk per Trade (%) : capital risk per trade (1–100%), defines maximum position size.
Example Settings
Applicable for OKX:BTCUSDT.P / OKX:ETHUSDT.P / OKX:SOLUSDT.P etc.
Timeframe : 1H
Level Step : 1.0
Shift : 1.0
Take Profit : 5
Number of Orders : 10
Risk per Trade : 10%
How the Code Works
The script calculates a grid of entry levels below the current price.
When the price touches a level, an order is placed with size based on equity × risk % .
The strategy scales into the position gradually (up to the number of levels).
When the Take Profit target is reached, all positions are closed simultaneously.
All levels and the TP line are plotted on the chart for visual clarity.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Marcius Studio® - DCA Grid Bot Backtesting™DCA Grid Bot Backtesting™ — is a flexible backtesting strategy for DCA grid trading. It allows you to define a price range and split it into multiple grid levels. The bot opens positions when price touches new levels and closes them at the Take Profit target, simulating real grid trading conditions.
The main purpose of this tool is to test and optimize grid-based strategies with customizable parameters, capital allocation, and automatic visualization directly on the TradingView chart.
Important! This strategy is intended for backtesting and educational purposes . Historical results do not guarantee future performance.
How to Use
Automatic: When adding the script to a chart, you can select Lower/Upper Limit and Start/End Time directly on the chart. Limits can be adjusted by dragging.
Manual: Set the Lower/Upper Limit and Start/End Time directly in the script settings.
Recommendations
The script works best on LOW-LIQUIDITY assets when used to simulate concentrated liquidity within a VRVP-defined range.
The script is designed for a LONG trend , so it performs best when opening LONG positions .
The script is NOT WELL-SUITED for situations with a significant market downturn, just like any other grid bots.
Strategy Settings
Lower/Upper Limit: Defines the trading range for the grid.
Start/End Time: Defines the backtesting period.
Grid Levels: Number of price steps within the range.

EMA Grid + Martingale Strategy (Long-Only) with CooldownTitle:
EMA Grid + Martingale Strategy (Long-Only) with Cooldown
Short Summary:
A long-only strategy combining EMA trend filters, grid-based entries, optional martingale sizing, and a cooldown feature to manage position timing and exits.
Full Description:
This strategy uses a 4-EMA trend confirmation system to detect bullish momentum, then deploys a grid-style entry method with optional martingale position sizing. It includes a cooldown mechanism to prevent reentry too soon after a completed trade cycle.
How It Works
1. Trend Confirmation: Two EMA groups (fast/slow) determine whether market conditions are bullish.
2. Initial Entry: A new position is entered when both EMA groups confirm an uptrend and no position is currently active.
3. Grid Entries: Additional long entries are placed when price drops by a defined pip distance from the last entry, respecting the maximum number of entries.
4. Martingale Sizing (Optional): Grid orders can increase in size with each level using a customizable multiplier.
5. Weighted-Average Exit: All positions close once price reaches or exceeds the average entry price plus a buffer.
6. Cooldown Timer: After closing a position set, the strategy waits a defined number of bars before opening a new grid.
Key Features
• 4 customizable EMAs for trend confirmation.
• Dynamic grid-style long entries based on pip intervals.
• Optional martingale-style position sizing.
• Weighted-average price exit logic with buffer control.
• Cooldown bar period to limit overtrading.
• Suitable for optimization and backtesting with full control over inputs.
Use Cases
• Designed for trending markets where pullbacks present entry opportunities.
• Helps manage staged entries while avoiding premature reentry.
• Ideal for testing martingale and grid-based strategies with exit precision.
Note: This strategy is for testing and educational purposes only. It does not guarantee profits and is not financial advice.
Buy The Dip - ENGThis script implements a grid trading strategy for long positions in the USDT market. The core idea is to place a series of buy limit orders at progressively lower prices below an initial entry point, aiming to lower the average entry price as the price drops. It then aims to exit the entire position when the price rises a certain percentage above the average entry price.
Here's a detailed breakdown:
1. Strategy Setup (`strategy` function):
`'거미줄 자동매매 250227'`: The name of the strategy.
`overlay = true`: Draws plots and labels directly on the main price chart.
`pyramiding = 15`: Allows up to 15 entries in the same direction (long). This is essential for grid trading, as it needs to open multiple buy orders.
`initial_capital = 600`: Sets the starting capital for backtesting to 600 USDT.
`currency = currency.USDT`: Specifies the account currency as USDT.
`margin_long/short = 0`: Doesn't define specific margin requirements (might imply spot trading logic or rely on exchange defaults if used live).
`calc_on_order_fills = false`: Strategy calculations happen on each bar's close, not just when orders fill.
2. Inputs (`input`):
Core Settings:
`lev`: Leverage (default 10x). Used to calculate position sizes.
`Investment Percentage %`: Percentage of total capital to allocate to the initial grid (default 80%).
`final entry Percentage %`: Percentage of the *remaining* capital (100 - `Investment Percentage %`) to use for the "semifinal" entry (default 50%). The rest goes to the "final" entry.
`Price Adjustment Length`: Lookback period (default 4 bars) to determine the initial `maxPrice`.
`price range`: The total percentage range downwards from `maxPrice` where the grid orders will be placed (default -10%, meaning 10% down).
`tp`: Take profit percentage above the average entry price (default 0.45%).
`semifinal entry price percent`: Percentage drop from `maxPrice` to trigger the "semifinal" larger entry (default -12%).
`final entry price percent`: Percentage drop from `maxPrice` to trigger the "final" larger entry (default -15%).
Rounding & Display:
`roundprice`, `round`: Decimal places for rounding price and quantity calculations.
`texts`, `label_style`: User interface preferences for text size and label appearance on the chart.
Time Filter:
`startTime`, `endTime`: Defines the date range for the backtest.
3. Calculations & Grid Setup:
`maxPrice`: The highest price point for the grid setup. Calculated as the lowest low of the previous `len` bars only if no trades are open. If trades are open, it uses the entry price of the very first order placed in the current sequence (`strategy.opentrades.entry_price(0)`).
`minPrice`: The lowest price point for the grid, calculated based on `maxPrice` and `range1`.
`totalCapital`: The amount of capital (considering leverage and `per1`) allocated for the main grid orders.
`coinRatios`: An array ` `. This defines the *relative* size ratio for each of the 11 grid orders. Later orders (at lower prices) will be progressively larger.
`totalRatio`: The sum of all ratios (66).
`positionSizes`: An array calculated based on `totalCapital` and `coinRatios`. It determines the actual quantity (size) for each of the 11 grid orders.
4. Order Placement Logic (`strategy.entry`):
Initial Grid Orders:
Runs only if within the specified time range and no position is currently open (`strategy.opentrades == 0`).
A loop places 11 limit buy orders (`Buy 1` to `Buy 11`).
Prices are calculated linearly between `maxPrice` and `minPrice`.
Order sizes are taken from the `positionSizes` array.
Semifinal & Final Entries:
Two additional, larger limit buy orders are placed simultaneously with the grid orders:
`semifinal entry`: At `maxPrice * (1 - semifinal / 100)`. Size is based on `per2`% of the capital *not* used by the main grid (`1 - per1`).
`final entry`: At `maxPrice * (1 - final / 100)`. Size is based on the remaining capital (`1 - per2`% of the unused portion).
5. Visualization (`line.new`, `label.new`, `plot`, `plotshape`, `plotchar`):
Grid Lines & Labels:
When a position is open (`strategy.opentrades > 0`), horizontal lines and labels are drawn for each of the 11 grid order prices and the "final" entry price.
Lines extend from the bar where the *first* entry occurred.
Labels show the price and planned size for each level.
Dynamic Coloring: If the price drops below a grid level, the corresponding line turns green, and the label color changes, visually indicating that the level has been reached or filled.
Plotted Lines:
`maxPrice` (initial high point for the grid).
`strategy.position_avg_price` (current average entry price of the open position, shown in red).
Target Profit Price (`strategy.position_avg_price * (1 + tp / 100)`, shown in green).
Markers:
A flag marks the `startTime`.
A rocket icon (`🚀`) appears below the bar where the `final entry` triggers.
A stop icon (`🛑`) appears below the bar where the `semifinal entry` triggers.
6. Exit Logic (`strategy.exit`, `strategy.entry` with `qty=0`):
Main Take Profit (`Full Exit`):
Uses `strategy.entry('Full Exit', strategy.short, qty = 0, limit = target2)`. This places a limit order to close the entire position (`qty=0`) at the calculated take profit level (`target2 = avgPrice * (1 + tp / 100)`). Note: Using `strategy.entry` with `strategy.short` and `qty=0` is a way to close a long position, though `strategy.exit` is often clearer. This exit seems intended to apply whenever any part of the grid position is open.
First Order Trailing Stop (`1st order Full Exit`):
Conditional: Only active if `trail` input is true AND the *last* order filled was "Buy 1" (meaning only the very first grid level was entered).
Uses `strategy.exit` with `trail_points` and `trail_offset` based on ATR values to implement a trailing stop loss/profit mechanism for this specific scenario.
This trailing stop order is cancelled (`strategy.cancel`) if any subsequent grid orders ("Buy 2", etc.) are filled.
Final/Semifinal Take Profit (`final Full Exit`):
Conditional: Only active if more than 11 entries have occurred (meaning either the "semifinal" or "final" entry must have triggered).
Uses `strategy.exit` to place a limit order to close the entire position at the take profit level (`target3 = avgPrice * (1 + tp / 100)`).
7. Information Display (Tables & UI Label):
`statsTable` (Top Right):
A comprehensive table displaying grouped information:
Market Info (Entry Point, Current Price)
Position Info (Avg Price, Target Price, Unrealized PNL $, Unrealized PNL %, Position Size, Position Value)
Strategy Performance (Realized PNL $, Realized PNL %, Initial/Total Balance, MDD, APY, Daily Profit %)
Trade Statistics (Trade Count, Wins/Losses, Win Rate, Cumulative Profit)
`buyAvgTable` (Bottom Left):
* Shows the *theoretical* entry price and average position price if trades were filled sequentially up to each `buy` level (buy1 to buy10). It uses hardcoded percentage drops (`buyper`, `avgper`) based on the initial `maxPrice` and `coinRatios`, not the dynamically changing actual average price.
`uiLabel` (Floating Label on Last Bar):
Updates only on the most recent bar (`barstate.islast`).
Provides real-time context when a position is open: Size, Avg Price, Current Price, Open PNL ($ and %), estimated % drop needed for the *next* theoretical buy (based on `ui_gridStep` input), % rise needed to hit TP, and estimated USDT profit at TP.
Shows "No Position" and basic balance/trade info otherwise.
In Summary:
This is a sophisticated long-only grid trading strategy. It aims to:
1. Define an entry range based on recent lows (`maxPrice`).
2. Place 11 scaled-in limit buy orders within a percentage range below `maxPrice`.
3. Place two additional, larger buy orders at deeper percentage drops (`semifinal`, `final`).
4. Calculate the average entry price as orders fill.
5. Exit the entire position for a small take profit (`tp`) above the average entry price.
6. Offer a conditional ATR trailing stop if only the first order fills.
7. Provide extensive visual feedback through lines, labels, icons, and detailed information tables/UI elements.
Keep in mind that grid strategies can perform well in ranging or slowly trending markets but can incur significant drawdowns if the price trends strongly against the position without sufficient retracements to hit the take profit. The leverage (`lev`) input significantly amplifies both potential profits and losses.
Grid TLong V1The “Grid TLong V1” strategy is based on the classic Grid strategy, but in the mode of buying and selling in favor of the trend and only on Long. This allows to take advantage of large uptrend movements to maximize profits in bull markets. For this reason, excessively sideways or bearish markets may not be very conducive to this strategy.
Like our Grid strategies in favor of the trend, you can enter and exit with the balance with controlled risk, as the distance between each grid functions as a natural and adaptable stop loss and take profit. What differentiates it from bidirectional strategies is that Short uses a minimum amount of follow-through, so that the percentage distance between the grids is maintained.
In this version of the script the entries and exits can be chosen at market or limit , and are based on the profit or loss of the current position, not on the percentage change in price.
The user may also notice that the strategy setup is risk-controlled, because it risks 5% on each trade, has a fairly standard commission and modest initial capital, all in order to protect the strategy user from unrealistic results.
As with all strategies, it is strongly recommended to optimize the parameters for the strategy to be effective for each asset and for each time frame.
Long Explosive V1The “Long Explosive V1” strategy calculates the percentage change in price from the last closing price of the candlestick, so that if it increases by a certain percentage it goes long, but if it decreases by another percentage it sends an exit order, so that the percentage limits above and below the current price function as inherent stop loss and take profit, with the benefit of taking advantage of the volatility of the bull market.
Entries and exits are always at the market and based on percentage changes in the price. Of course, the default configuration of the strategy considers a position with a 5% risk control, modest initial capital and standard commissions, which helps to obtain realistic results and protect the user from unexpectedly controlled potential losses.
It is again emphasized that it is always advisable to adjust the parameters of the strategy well, so that the risk-reward is well controlled.
Grid Tendence V1The “Grid Tendence V1” strategy is based on the classic Grid strategy, only in this case the entries and exits are made in favor of the trend, which allows to take advantage of large movements to maximize profits, since it is also possible to enter and exit with the balance with a controlled risk, because precisely the distance between each Grid works as a natural and adaptable stop loss and take profit. This fact helps to avoid overlapping entries and exits that would result from using stop loss and take profit as limit orders.
In this version of the script the entries and exits are always at market, and based on the percentage change of the price, not on the profit or loss of the current position.
The user will notice that the strategy setup is based on a controlled risk, risking 5% on each trade, a fairly standard commission and a modest initial capital, all this in order to protect the user of the strategy from unexpected or unrealistic results.
However, it is always recommended to optimize the parameters so that the strategy is effective for each asset and for each time frame.
Adaptive Fractal Grid Scalping StrategyThis Pine Script v6 component implements an "Adaptive Fractal Grid Scalping Strategy" with an added volatility threshold feature.
Here's how it works:
Fractal Break Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to identify local highs and lows.
Volatility Clustering: Measures volatility using the Average True Range (ATR).
Adaptive Grid Levels: Dynamically adjusts grid levels based on ATR and user-defined multipliers.
Directional Bias Filter: Uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine trend direction.
Volatility Threshold: Introduces a new input to specify a minimum ATR value required to activate the strategy.
Trade Execution Logic: Places limit orders at grid levels based on trend direction and fractal levels, but only when ATR exceeds the volatility threshold.
Profit-Taking and Stop-Loss: Implements profit-taking at grid levels and a trailing stop-loss based on ATR.
How to Use
Inputs: Customize the ATR length, SMA length, grid multipliers, trailing stop multiplier, and volatility threshold through the input settings.
Visuals: The script plots fractal points and grid levels on the chart for easy visualization.
Trade Signals: The strategy automatically places buy/sell orders based on the detected fractals, trend direction, and volatility threshold.
Profit and Risk Management: The script includes logic for taking profits and setting stop-loss levels to manage trades effectively.
This strategy is designed to capitalize on micro-movements during high volatility and avoid overtrading during low-volatility trends. Adjust the input parameters to suit your trading style and market conditions.

Hulk Grid Algorithm V2 - The Quant ScienceIt's the latest proprietary grid algorithm developed by our team. This software represents a clearer and more comprehensive modernization of the deprecated Hulk Grid Algorithm. In this new release, we have optimized the source code architecture and investment logic, which we will describe in detail below.
Overview
Hulk Grid Algorithm V2 is designed to optimize returns in sideways market conditions. In this scenario, the algorithm divides purchases with long orders at each level of the grid. Unlike a typical grid algorithm, this version applies an anti-martingale model to mitigate volatility and optimize the average entry price. Starting from the lower level, the purchase quantity is increased at each new subsequent level until reaching the upper level. The initial quantity of the first order is fixed at 0.50% of the initial capital. With each new order, the initial quantity is multiplied by a value equal to the current grid level (where 1 is the lower level and 10 is the upper level).
Example: Let's say we have an initial capital of $10,000. The initial capital for the first order would be $50 * 1 = $50, for the second order $50 * 2 = $100, for the third order $50 * 3 = $150, and so on until reaching the upper level.
All previously opened orders are closed using a percentage-based stop-loss and take-profit, calculated based on the extremes of the grid.
Set Up
As mentioned earlier, the user's goal is to analyze this strategy in markets with a lack of trend, also known as sideways markets. After identifying a price range within which the asset tends to move, the user can choose to create the grid by placing the starting price at the center of the range. This way, they can consider trading the asset, if the backtesting generates a return greater than the Buy & Hold return.
Grid Configuration
To create the grid, it's sufficient to choose the starting price during the launch phase. This level will be the center of the grid from which the upper and lower levels will be calculated. The grid levels are computed using an arithmetic method, adding and subtracting a configurable fixed amount from the user interface (Grid Step $).
Example: Let's imagine choosing 1000 as the starting price and 50 as the Grid Step ($). The upper levels will be 1000, 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200. The lower levels will be 950, 900, 850, 800, and 750.
Markets
This software can be used in all markets: stocks, indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, ETFs, Forex, etc.
Application
With this backtesting software, is possible to analyze the strategy and search for markets where it can generate better performance than Buy & Hold returns. There are no alerts or automatic investment mechanisms, and currently, the strategy can only be executed manually.
Design
Is possible to modify the grid style and customize colors by accessing the Properties section of the user interface.
RSI Box Strategy (pseudo- Grid Bot)This is a strategy intended primarily for algorithmic traders. It's a pseudo-grid bot that uses a dynamic, volume-weighted grid that only updates when the RSI meets certain conditions. It's also a breakout strategy, whereas normal grid bots are not (typical grid bots sell when a higher grid is reached, whereas this strategy sells when a lower grid is breached under specific conditions). This strategy also sells 100% of pyramiding orders on close.
In a nutshell, the strategy updates its grid to the volume-weighted highest/lowest values of your given source ("src" in the settings) each time that there is a RSI crossunder/crossover. From this range it produces an evenly-spaced grid of five lines, and uses the current source to determine which grid line is closest to the source. Then, if the source crosses over the line directly above the current line, it enters a buy order. If the source crosses under the line directly below the current line, it enters a sell order.
You can configure shorts, source, RSI length, and overbought/oversold levels in the settings.
For the strategy results below: fees are at 0.1% per trade, with order size 1% of equity and a max pyramiding value of 33. For a greater R/R profile, you can increase the order size, which will increase drawdown but potentially yield better results.
Grid Spot Trading Algorithm V2 - The Quant ScienceGrid Spot Trading Algorithm V2 is the last grid trading algorithm made by our developer team.
Grid Spot Trading Algorithm V2 is a fixed 10-level grid trading algorithm. The grid is divided into an accumulation area (red) and a selling area (green).
In the accumulation area, the algorithm will place new buy orders, selling the long positions on the top of the grid.
BUYING AND SELLING LOGIC
The algorithm places up to 5 limit orders on the accumulation section of the grid, each time the price cross through the middle grid. Each single order uses 20% of the equity.
Positions are closed at the top of the grid by default, with the algorithm closing all orders at the first sell level. The exit level can be adjusted using the user interface, from the first level up to the fifth level above.
CONFIGURING THE ALGORITHM
1) Add it to the chart: Add the script to the current chart that you want to analyze.
2) Select the top of the grid: Confirm a price level with the mouse on which to fix the top of the grid.
3) Select the bottom of the grid: Confirm a price level with the mouse on which to fix the bottom of the grid.
4) Wait for the automatic creation of the grid.
USING THE ALGORITHM
Once the grid configuration process is completed, the algorithm will generate automatic backtesting.
You can add a stop loss that destroys the grid by setting the destruction price and activating the feature from the user interface. When the stop loss is activated, you can view it on the chart.
AUTOMATIC GRID BOT STRATEGY [ilovealgotrading]
OVERVIEW:
This Grid trading strategy can help you maximize your profit in a ranging sideways market with no clear direction.
INDICATOR:
We can get some money by taking advantage of the movement of the price between the range we have determined.
Short positions are opened while the price is rising, long positions are opened while the price is falling.
Therefore, there is no need to predict the trend direction.
What is different in this indicator:
I want to say thank you to © thequantscience. His GRID SPOT TRADING ALGORITHM - GRID BOT TRADING strategy helped me when I was writing my indicator.
I want to explain what I have improved:
1- Grid strategy is a type of strategy that can be traded in very short time frames and users can trade this strategy algorithmically by connecting this strategy to their own accounts with the help of API systems. For this reason, I have developed a software that can give us signals by dynamically changing the long and short messages when users are trading.
2- We can change the start and end dates of our grid bot as we want. It is necessary to use this setting when setting up automatic bots, so that previously opened transactions are not taken into account.
3 - Lot or quantity size should not be excessively small when users are taking automatic trades because exchanges have limitations, to avoid this problem, I have prevented this error by automatically rounding up to the nearest quantity size inside the software.
4 - Users can avoid excessive losses by using stop loss on this grid bot if they wish.
5 - When our price is over the range high or below the range low, our open positions are closed, if the stop button is active. We can also change which close price time frame we take as a basis from the settings.
6 -Users can set how many dollars they can enter per transaction while performing their transactions automatically.
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS – SETTINGS:
This script allows the user to choose the highs and lows leves of our range. Our bot trades in the specified range.
1. This strategy allows us to set start and end backtest dates.
2. We can change range high and range low leves of our bot
3. IF people want to trade algorithmically with the help of this bot, there are 6 different input systems that will receive the Json codes as an alarm
4. IF the price closes above the upper line or below the lower line, all transactions will be closed. We can determine in which time frame our transactions will be stopped if the price closes outside these levels.We can adjust how our bot works by activating or turning off the Stop Loss button.
5. In this strategy, you can determine your dollar cost for per position.
6. The user can also divide the interval we have determined into 10 parts or 20 equal parts.
7. The grid is divided and colored at the interval we set. At the same time, if we don't want we can turn off colored channels.
Notes:
If you're going to connect this bot to an automatic Long and Short direction,
Don’t forget! you need to Webhook URL,
Don’t miss paste this code to your message window {{strategy.order.alert_message}}
ALSO:
Set your range below the support zones and above the resistance zones.
Don't be afraid to take a wide range, it doesn't matter if you make a little money, the important thing is that you don't lose money.
If you have any ideas what to add to my work to add more sources or make calculations cooler, suggest in DM .
basilGrid GridBot Live [basilChart]This strategy is a full implementation of Live Grid Trading.
Prominent features of this live grid trading strategy are:

- Precise Buy & Sell: Script will execute precise Buy and Sell orders.
- Dynamic Grid Level Count: From 2 grid levels to n amount of grid levels are supported. There is no limitation on grid level count, however there may be irregularities because of limitations when higher grid levels are used. You can pick any number starting from 2.
- Average Price: Traders can monitor average price of positions.
- Alerts: When order is filled trader can receive notification. Create new alert > Select basilGrid Live > Order fills only()
Characteristics of this script:
- Able to fill more than one order in one single candle.
- Levels will keep being updated with every trade.
- There will be always one grid level ignored and it will be the level which made the last order filling possible. This is normal behavior of grid trading system.
- You can both use Log Scale and Normal Scale with this script. No issue will be on grid levels.
Using the script:
- Add this script to the chart from indicators tab
- Set starting date for the live grid bot either by dragging and dropping the vertical line or by the date-time picker from indicator Inputs tab.

GRID SPOT TRADING ALGORITHM - GRID BOT TRADING STRATEGYGRID SPOT TRADING ALGORITHM : LONG ONLY STRATEGY OPEN SOURCE
This is a long only strategy for spot assets.
HOW IT WORKS
Grid trading is a trading strategy where an investor creates a so-called "price grid". The basic idea of the strategy is to repeatedly buy at the pre-specified price and then wait for the price to rise above that level and then sell the position (and vice versa with shorting or hedging).
FEATURES
Grids: This algorithm has a total of 10 grids.
Take profit: The trader can increase or decrease the distance between the grids from the User Interface panel, the distance between one grid and another represents the take profit.
Management: The algorithm buys 10% of the capital every time the price breaks down a grid and sells during a rise to the next higher grid. The initial capital is invested in 10 sizes which represent 10% of the capital per trade.
Stop Loss: The algorithm knows no stop loss as long as it is not activated from the User Interface panel. By activating the stop loss from the User Interface panel the algorithm will insert a close condition on all trades which will be calculated from the last lower grid.
Trades: Trades are opened only if the price is within the grid. If the market leaves the grid the algorithm will not buy new positions or sell new positions.
Optimal market conditions: The favorable market for this algorithm is the sideways market.
LIMITATIONS OF THE MODEL
The trader must take into account that this is a static model. It only works perfectly well if the market is in a sideways phase and incurs heavy losses if the market takes a downward trend. The model is unusable for an uptrend. The trader must therefore carefully analyze the market where he intends to use this strategy, making sure that the price is in a sideways phase.
USES
Indispensable research and backtesting tool for those using bots for their investments. The algorithm produces a backtesting of the strategy for past history. It is used by professional traders to understand if this strategy has been profitable on a market and what parameters to use for bots using this strategy (Kucoin, Binance etc.).
If you would like to develop your own algorithm with customized conditions based on a grid strategy, please contact us.
If you need help in using this tool, please contact us without hesitation.
TTP Grid BacktesterThis pine script strategy allows to backtest Grid bots.
This initial version offers the following features:
- Set the top and bottom limits of the grid
- Plots the average position price, realised and unrealised profits
- Set the value to invest
- This script is a strategy so you can check each individual buy/sell, stats and all included with strategies
What does it do:
- Depending where is located the initial close price relative to the grid (above, below, inside) it will buy for as many levels are above the price.
- It will disable a level that recently filled an order (in the way grids bot do)
- When the grid starts it will disable the closest grid level
- It places limit orders in the active levels and many levels can be filled in a single candle
- You can activate recalculate on each order filled, which will allow to fill further needed orders if the price swings up and down crossing multiple times multiple grid levels but I have found that doing this can compromise the accuracy of the price used on those levels (there are minor gaps between the filled price and the original level price)
How to use it:
- When you add this strategy to the chart you will be asked to select the top and bottom limits of the grid
- Notice you can always select the strategy in the chart and drag and drop the limits to adjust the grid
- Once the grid is in place, you can use either lower chart timeframes for higher accuracy of the stats, or higher timeframes if you want to privilege longer periods of testing
How to set the correct "initial capital"
In order to prevent getting wrong stats you need to make sure you are using the correct initial capital. If you put less than what you are actually using your results will be over inflated. If you set an initial capital below what the bot requires, your results will be smaller than they should.
- If you want to use exactly 100% of the capital for the grid use then first select what amount per level you want to use. Set this value in the settings of the indicator (if you are trading BTCUSD pair, how much BTC you want to use per level, 0.01 for example).
- Once you have set this value, then open the TradingView "Data Window" to be able to visualise the calculation of cash required to run the grid that the strategy is giving you. In our example with BTCUSD this value will be given in USD.
- Enter this amount in the "Properties" tab, "Initial Capital". If you enter the exact amount you will be using all for the grid usage.
- The grid first action will be to buy 0.01 for each level that is above the current price in the first candle of the chart. If there are no levels above it won't do any initial investment.
- The rest of the cash will be use to buy levels below if the price goes to the lower range of the grid later
Intention of this script
I built this script to help me understand better how grid bots work.
Understanding the flow of realised vs unrealised profits in a grid can help me understand why sometimes even if you are in red on unrealised profits, you can still compensate with realised profits and many other tricky scenarios with grids.
Sometimes I'm running a grid bot and would like to simulate how much better (or worst) it would have been to run it using different limits.
Future work and ideas
Initially I'm focusing on confirming that the grid behaves correctly and that the stats are as accurate as possible.
That is the first priority.
Once I feel more confident with the accuracy I will consider adding some of the following ideas (not in any particular order):
- Table with stats including: price of each level, times the level filled an order, times it was use for selling/buying, etc. Time it took to become in realised profit. Comparison against profits from buy & hold.
- Trailing TP/SL
- Entry/exit price
- Trading time window: only trade between the specified dates/times
- Alerts
GRID Trading Optimized for Directional MarketsGRID trading is a popular trading strategy in Forex and Commodity markets.
It it however a tricky strategy when markets become directional.
This Directional GRID system adjusts its trading strategy and direction based on Overbought and Oversold RSI conditions on 2 timeframes.
It uses the short timeframe (chart) to trigger adjustments, so it delays buying/selling of all the levels, until it becomes overbought/sold
And it used the longer timeframe to trigger trading direction long/short.
This makes it far less likely to ever get "underwater", and builds in extra profit potential during market extremes.
I have coded it when i was trading SLV, but it could be optimized for any market using a "TradingView Strategy Input Optimizer".
Backtest based on a 25k max capital investment during 6 months.
Check the NET Profit (50%) result, and compare against the Buy & Hold (13.5%) return.
Losing trades are the ones that are currently open..
Av Bars in trades is the time between direction changes, as Position Adjustments are done more frequently.

Intraday Grid trading exampleHello everyone,
This was a grid trading example for intraday trading.
Please be advised that every commodity have diferent kind of reaction and rate of change between periods therefore the percentages need to be adjusted acording to the commodities change %.
In order to specify the adjustment rate we add the Zig Zag in the script.
For Example ;
Last 3 days zigzag high points are %25 , %13 and %8 , the average %is about %9 therefore you have to put the adjustment ratios something like;
Z%1 = %3
Z%2 = %6
Z%3 = %9
Feel free to use the script with caution( it was not a investment advice), this was only a example of grid trading strategy on our trading platform.
Regards.
7-RSI strategyHello, I've only been trying to learn PineScript for two months on my own, here I am posting a version of the strategy for a grid bot with 20 orders, order size 5%, earlier I tried to find something similar, but could not. Perhaps others, those who, like me, are just starting to learn PineScript, will find something useful. In the process of using grid bots, I noticed that the RSI indicator is sufficient, so the strategy uses 7 RSI indicators on different timeframes, but it is not necessary to use all 7, usually 3 is enough, therefore, by default, the RSI values are set to limit so that there is no effect on the settings of others. The step between bot orders is set in the settings. The code can of course be simplified, but it's better for understanding, I think.
