Grid Bot Simulator

Feb 16, 2021

This script is a grid bot simulator for ranging/choppy markets. Prices are divided into grids, or trade zones, that will trigger signals each time a new zone is entered. During ranging markets, each transaction is followed by a “take profit.” As the market starts to trend, transactions are stacked (compare to DCA), until the market consolidates. No signals are triggered above the Upper Limit or Below the Lower Limit.

Settings overview:
Upper Limit/Lower Limit : Highest and Lowest values for entire grid.
Number of Grids: Number of trade zones.
Show Grids: Show or hide all gridlines.
Show Only Current Grids: Only display the grids just above and just below the current trade zone.
High/Low for signals: If enabled, signals are triggered as soon as the price touches the next zone. If disabled, signals are triggered after bar closes. Enable this for “Once Per Bar alerts. Disable for “Once Per Bar Close” alerts.


Highlight Trade Zones

The grid bot should work well during ranging/choppy markets. Each zone will have only one trade, and then will immediately take profit in the next zone.

Ranging/Choppy Market

However, trending markets can produce multiple signals in rapid succession:

Trending Market

If the gridlines are compressing the chart space, enable the “Show Only Current Grids” in settings.

Show Only Current Grids disabled


Show Only Current Grids enabled

When changing symbols, adjust the Upper and Lower Limits to accommodate the new symbol. Otherwise, the chart will look compressed.

The bot is a proof-of-concept and is considered experimental. Possible future updates will include Fibonacci grids and “smart entry/exits,” depending on the current trend. Comments and suggestions are encouraged.
