3. Tips on Futures Grid

Setting key parameters of the grid will have a direct impact on your profits. Here is to share some tips on Futures Grid trading:

1. Setting Price Range

The red box indicates the ideal price range of the grid, which lies between the resistance and support level.

Common ways to decide the upper and lower limits of the price range:

A. Refer to momentum indicators. For example, use the upper and lower Bollinger Band of the candlestick chart of the last 4 hours or of the day as the grid limits.

B. Set according to the candlestick chart pattern. For example, refer to the 4-hour candlestick chart and set the upper and lower limits according to the most frequent highs and lows.

2. Set Grids (Grid Number)

The grid number decides the grid density.

With a constant total investment, the denser the grids, the more they can capture small swings in the market, but, at the same time, the smaller the average fund per grid.

Setting a proper number of grids needs to take into account both the fund per grid and the grid density.

Usually, investors can refer to the Average True Range (ATR) which measures volatility. If you want your grid to trade every 15 minutes, refer to the 15-minute candlestick pattern to determine the ATR.

Grids = (Max. Price - Min. Price) / ATR (20) of 15-minute candlestick pattern

3. Other Tips: Backtesting and Stop-Loss

1) Use the backtesting features wisely by testing the performance of the parameters that you set. However, be aware that the historical data is for reference only.

2) Add a safety belt to your grid by setting stop loss.
