Dynamic Grid

A 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.

ControlsAll figures illustrative, per $100 invested. Part 2 is the day it goes wrong — every strategy has one.

How it works

01The loop lays a fixed map of buy levels (rungs) below the market.
02When the price reaches a rung, that rung buys.
03That rung sells as soon as the price bounces its own profit % above its entry.
04The rung re-arms and waits to buy the same dip again. The map never moves.

The same buy ladder as Grid Ladder — but each rung sells ITSELF the moment the price bounces its own profit % above that rung’s entry, then re-arms to buy the same dip again. The level map is fixed when you create the loop and does not move while it runs.

The math, on paper

Rung buys $100 at $97, sells at $99.91: +$3.00 gross
Same rung re-buys the next dip, bounces: another +$3.00
Each harvest is its own small cycle: 3 wiggles = 3 wins
Modeled round-trip fees (0.02%/side): ≈ $0.04
Modeled net profit: ≈ +$2.96

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.

Best for

Choppy, sideways markets with lots of small bounces. The more the price wiggles, the more it harvests.

When it struggles

Deep rungs can sit underwater through a sustained downtrend while shallow rungs keep harvesting. The most it can have invested at once is order size × (rungs + 1), if every level fills.

Good to know

The no-loss guard applies per rung — an underwater rung never blocks a profitable one. Dynamic Grid trades with market orders only.

What you set

First rung: How far below the price the ladder starts, e.g. −1.5%
Ladder rungs · Step between rungs: How many levels, and how far apart
Sell per rung: Each rung’s own profit target, e.g. +1.5%
Order size: Per rung — the worst case is every rung filled
No-loss guard · Stop-loss · Snowball: As on every loop

Questions

What is the difference between Dynamic Grid and Grid Ladder?

Both buy at several levels below the price. Grid Ladder treats the fills as one stack and sells everything together at a target above the average. Dynamic Grid lets every level sell on its own bounce and buy again, so it harvests many small moves instead of waiting for one recovery.
