FAQs
1. What is the minimum investment amount for a Futures Grid?
The minimum amount varies depending on the trading pair and leverage. Check the trading interface for specific details.
2. Can I switch between AI and Manual settings after creating a grid?
No, you must close the current grid and set up a new one to change the setup mode.
3. What happens if the price moves outside the grid range?
No new orders will be executed until the price re-enters the defined range.
4. Are fees charged for each grid transaction?
Yes, standard futures trading fees apply to each buy or sell order executed within the grid.
5. How do I avoid liquidation while using the Futures Grid?
Reserve sufficient funds as collateral and avoid over-leveraging your position to cover price fluctuations.
6. Why did grid expansion fail after adjusting the price range?
If the bot is running at a loss and available margin is below zero, new grid orders can’t be placed. Added margin is first used to reduce liquidation risk. To fix this, top up your margin before expanding the grid.
