The highest price is 11,162USDT

The lowest price is 8,193USDT

The grid quantity is 54

then I change the Quantity per grid as 0.0009BTC then the bot calculated the Required balance and Profit per grid out.

If you have enough balance in you account, then you can tap the “CREATE” button. Then the bot is working!

  • When you have less grids in a limited range, you’ll have lower possibility to executed your orders but more profit per grid.
