Quadency’s popular Grid Trader bot strategy is often used by traders to navigate choppy markets (like we are experiencing today).

  • Grid Trading helps traders capitalize on market volatility by arranging buys and sells on a grid made of price lines, which define the price range.
  • When the price moves up and down inside the grid, profit can potentially be realized with each buy-low or sell-high cycle.
