Grid Loop
BeginnerBuy low, sell high, repeat.
The classic grid: buy when the price dips a set percentage below an anchor, sell when it rises a set percentage above what you paid, then start again at the new level.

Every way a loop can trade, explained.
A loop is a set of trading rules that runs on your own exchange account. Each strategy below is a different set of rules for a different kind of market. Start with the market you are looking at, watch the strategy play out — including the day it goes wrong — then try it on made-up prices with no account.
Sideways / choppy
When the price goes sideways
Coins that swing up and down around a level without going anywhere. These loops buy the dips and sell the bounces, over and over.
Dynamic Grid
IntermediateA ladder where every rung trades for itself.
A fixed map of buy levels below the market. Each level sells itself on its own bounce and then waits to buy that same dip again.
Range Loop
AdvancedBuy at one price, sell at another.
Two hard dollar prices instead of percentages: buy at the lower band, sell at the upper band, and repeat for as long as the range holds.
Falling / buy the dip
When the price is falling
Pullbacks in coins you expect to recover. These loops buy more as the price drops, lowering the average, and sell the whole stack on the way back up.
Grid Ladder
IntermediateStack buys on deeper dips, exit the whole stack.
Like Grid Loop, but if the dip keeps going it buys again at lower rungs, then sells the whole stack together once the price recovers above the average.
Stack Loop
IntermediateAdd on each step down, sell the whole stack.
Buys once to start, then adds another lot every time the price steps a set percentage below the last buy. When the stack is up by your target, it sells everything and starts fresh.
Time Loop (DCA)
BeginnerBuy a fixed amount on a schedule.
Dollar-cost averaging on autopilot: buy the same amount every few hours or days, whatever the price, with an optional take-profit on the whole stack.
Rising / momentum
When the price is climbing
Rallies, trends and brand-new listings. These loops let a move run and decide when to take money off the table.
Trailing Stop
IntermediateRide the move, then lock it in.
Buy once, then trail a stop a fixed percentage below the highest price seen. When a pullback hits it, the loop sells and stops.
Trend Loop
AdvancedBuy momentum, exit when it fades.
Waits for momentum to prove itself: a fast moving average crossing above a slow one buys, and the cross back below sells the whole position.
Chip Loop
IntermediateTake slices of the gain, keep the rest riding.
Buys once, then sells a share of the value above your retained target at each upward price level. The rest stays invested. Cash taken is not the same as profit.
Listing Sniper
AdvancedIn on the listing, out on the turn.
Waits for a brand-new coin to start trading on your exchange, buys it with a set budget, then rides it with a trailing stop and sells on the turn. One shot.
I already hold it
When you already hold the coin
Coins already in your account. This loop sells into strength first and buys back lower, turning sideways movement into cash or more coin.
Hands-on
When you want to decide
One planned entry, then every sell is yours — tracked, alerted and recorded like any other loop.
Every strategy
Rules every loop plays by
Fees come out of both sides
Every buy and every sell pays your exchange’s fee. A target that looks profitable on the chart can net little or nothing at a high fee tier — the wizard shows the fee it assumes before you start.
The no-loss guard holds rather than sells at a loss
On by default for most strategies: a normal sell waits until it would clear what the position cost plus fees. That can keep money tied up for a long time; it cannot promise a profitable fill.
A stop-loss takes the loss on purpose
Optional on most strategies, on by default for Trailing Stop and Trend Loop. It sells when the price falls far enough, and it can fill below its trigger when prices gap.
Your coins stay on your exchange
Loops trade through a trade-only API key on your own account — the key cannot withdraw. Triggers are watched by LoopTrading and sent as market orders; nothing rests on the exchange between them, so if our service is down nothing fires.
Worked numbers assume 0.02% per side (the current Binance.US fallback schedule) and exclude spread and slippage. They are illustrations, not forecasts; fees vary by exchange and tier.
