We are absolutely stoked to announce that one (1) spanking new Derivatives and seven (7) Spot trading pairs are now available for trades!

Now LIVE: 8 New Trading Pairs 🔥

For those of you who are new to Bybit, WSOT is our biggest and most exciting trading competition! Teamwork is the name of the game in Bybit’s WSOT, as you can form teams of 200 or more traders from around the globe. The path to victory is simple — the higher your trading volume, the greater your chance of winning as an individual and as a team.

We’re not going to spoil the surprise, but we’ll let you in on a little secret — the prize pool is worth up to a whopping $8 million! Think attractive rewards, daily lotteries, NFTs — and so much more!

Excited? So are we! For starters, we’re launching a five-part WSOT Warm-Up Series where we gather some of our Bybit Affiliates to share useful tips on how to win big at the upcoming WSOT!

To start off this series, let’s hear from the champion of WSOT 2021 — Ahn Si-hu!

**Hi Si-hu, could you give us a quick introduction?**

Hi! My name is Ahn Si-hu. I am the WSOT 2021 champion, and also the winner of Bybit’s 2020 individual trading competition. I mainly trade and make profit by analyzing charts. I also share my techniques on my YouTube channel, [Maeuknam](https://go.bybit.com/e/sGYgpBxibqb), for free. You can visit my channel to see how I read charts in real time.

**What was WSOT 2021 like for you as a Troop Leader?**

Personally, WSOT 2021 is special to me, as my team won first place. It’s also what I had considered to be the last trading competition in my life due to my health issues. Ever since I started crypto trading in 2008, I’ve been trading every single day, and barely sleeping. After I began to participate in trading competitions, my health got worse.

Despite it all, I think I’ve brought my trading competition stint to a successful conclusion. During the WSOT competition, I shared chart analyses and buy/sell positions with my team members through our secret broadcast channel every other day. It was exciting to see Bitcoin move as I predicted, raising the overall team profit rate. On the other hand, I felt a huge responsibility, as my members were relying on me.

**What would you recommend to general users who want to be Troop Leaders?**

Besides trading skills, I strongly believe that a Troop Leader’s ability to lead and encourage the entire team during the competition period is critical, especially in the midst of constant profit fluctuation.

On the social media front, I didn’t put in extra effort, but I guess many people wanted to join my team because of my victory in the Bybit individual trading competition 2020 with a 12,300% profit. I did, however, set up a Telegram group chat during the competition period.

My strategy was to claim first position on the leaderboard closer toward the end of the competition. In order to ensure victory, it was crucial to maintain a comfortable distance from the team in the second position for the last three to four days.

**Are you looking forward to WSOT 2022?**

I was already considering WSOT 2021 to be my retirement game, but the news of WSOT 2022 has gotten me excited. I haven’t decided whether to participate, but I hope more people will join this year and cultivate their trading skills.

**What would you like to see continue into WSOT 2022?**

For 2022, I would love to see the NFT distribution according to performance. Perhaps giving away higher quality NFTs would make it perfect.

**What are some tips you can share with our users for WSOT 2022?**

Be wary of being too greedy and messing up from the start. Just keep your pace, trade stably, and I believe you’ll have good results.

**How competitive are you expecting WSOT 2022 to get?**

As far as I know, around 34,000 people participated last year. I guess there may be slightly fewer this year due to the current bear market conditions.

**How will you approach WSOT 2022 differently?**

Though I’m not sure what the competition rules of WSOT 2022 are, I'd recommend growing your gains trading Bitcoin rather than seeking high profit with altcoins. Those high-risk, high-return strategies or pairs might look attractive at first, but in most cases, they lead to self-destruction. I’ll also be keeping a lookout for insurance-related coins this year.

**Thank you Si-hu. We hope to see you in the competition this year!**

After hearing from our five Bybit Affiliates, we know you can’t wait for WSOT — us too! So go forth, gather your teams, brandish your trading swords, and get ready for an exciting month in June!

As the story goes, Hanyecz posted on a [Bitcoin forum](https://bitcointalk.org/) that he was keen to buy two pizzas for a price of 10,000 bitcoins, worth $41 at that time. Jeremy Sturdivant, a student from California, responded to Hanyecz’s post and agreed to the offer. Once the transaction was complete, he ordered Papa Johns pizzas to be delivered to Hanyecz’s home. Since then, May 22 has been commemorated as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

_Hanyecz original forum post._ _Image courtesy of Bitcoin Pizza Index_

As of the time of writing, Hanyecz’s pizzas are worth a whopping $308 million. But what happened to the main characters of this extraordinary tale?

In several interviews, Laszlo said he has “no regrets.” In fact, he repeated a similar Bitcoin transaction in 2018, this time using the [Lightning Network](https://learn.bybit.com/blockchain/what-is-the-lightning-network/?medium=organic_content&source=blog&channel=Content&campaign=imcct_imcct_all_btcpd_may22jun22_en&term=brand_nil_link_1x1&content=all_awa_pro_nil_nil&dtpid=1652931429801). As for Sturdivant, he squandered the 10,000 Bitcoins while traveling across the U.S. with his girlfriend.

Twelve years on, Bitcoin Pizza Day has been widely celebrated by the global crypto community in various ways. Here’s a rundown of several crypto and [web3](https://learn.bybit.com/web3/what-is-web-3/?medium=organic_content&source=blog&channel=Content&campaign=imcct_imcct_all_btcpd_may22jun22_en&term=brand_nil_link_1x1&content=all_awa_pro_nil_nil&dtpid=1652931429811) initiatives that have paid tribute to this historic day:

### **Papa Johns Enters the Chat**

_Papa Johns “Cheddar” NFT Hot Bag. Image courtesy of Papa Johns._

A key element of the Bitcoin Pizza Day narrative is, without a doubt, Papa Johns. In 2021, the pizza chain paid tribute to Hanyecz by giving away 10,000 slices of pizza in Jacksonville, Florida. More recently, Papa Johns launched its first collection of NFTs in March 2022 — [NFT Hot Bag](https://www.nfthotbag-papajohns.com/) — with nine designs and the “Papa 1984 Yellow” as the rarest. Minted on Tezos, the collection of 19,840 NFTs were given to pizza fans for free as a metaverse accessory.

### **A Slice of the Metaverse**

_Domino’s pizza store in Decentraland. Image courtesy of Decentraland._

Just like Papa Johns, pizza chain Domino’s also wanted a slice of the pie. In May 2021, Domino’s collaborated with Decentraland to build a metaverse pizza shop in celebration of Bitcoin Pizza Day. Users could head to the virtual Domino’s store and place their orders, making payment via ETH or [MANA](https://learn.bybit.com/crypto/decentraland-mana/?medium=organic_content&source=blog&channel=Content&campaign=imcct_imcct_all_btcpd_may22jun22_en&term=brand_nil_link_1x1&content=all_awa_pro_nil_nil&dtpid=1652931429816). Following this, the order would be entered into the system, with real pizza sent to the user’s home address. This event was only available to U.S. residents, but we sure hope they will expand it to Domino’s locations worldwide!

### **Pizza Lovers Unite With DAOs & NFTs**

_A collection of Rare Pizza NFTs. Image via OpenSea_

What’s Bitcoin Pizza Day without a party? Introducing [PizzaDAO](https://www.rarepizzas.com/), a pizza-focused community of artists, creators and pizza lovers that believes pizza should be free for all. Founded in 2021, the DAO celebrates the historic occasion by throwing a global #FreePizzaDay. Through its [Rare Pizza NFT Project](https://opensea.io/collection/rare-pizzas-box), proceeds from NFT sales are used to buy pizza for hungry pizza lovers all over the world. In 2021, the DAO purchased $300,000 worth of pizza, and has raised more than $1 million to date. Moving forward, it plans to grow its efforts and connect with more pizzerias to throw bigger and better pizza parties.

### **Bitcoin Pizza Day Crypto Gatherings**

In the spirit of yesteryear’s Bitcoin forums, modern-day Bitcoin advocates come together to celebrate the occasion with events around the globe. From [conferences and panel discussions](https://cryptoevents.global/pizza-day-conference-2022/), to [networking events](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/may-22-is-bitcoin-pizza-day-so-we-are-celebrating-tickets-56953746188#:~:text=May%2022%2C%20is%20Bitcoin%20Pizza,2022%20at%2020%3A00%20%7C%20Eventbrite) and [meetup sessions](https://www.meetup.com/Fresno-Bitcoin-Cryptocurrencies/events/283756867/), these events gather crypto enthusiasts in the community to discuss the future of crypto, get to know one another, and of course, enjoy a slice of pizza.

How to Set Up and Use Trust Wallet for Binance Smart Chain

Here’s how you can get set up on Trust Wallet and start using Binance Smart Chain in just a couple of minutes.

How to Set Up and Use Trust Wallet for Binance Smart Chain - Cryptohopper

Leveraged Tokens (LT) simply eliminate the trade-off and allow users to gain leveraged exposure without worrying about liquidation risk and the nitty-gritty of managing a leveraged position.

While LTs have gained popularity due to this innovative feature, they have been controversial and have caused confusion among users. Historically, LTs have a poor track record of generating long-term returns when compared to traditional margin-leveraged products.

Despite its flaws, LTs continues to attract great demand from users worldwide. As such, Binance has worked towards addressing the crucial problems with existing leveraged tokens and launched the Binance Leveraged Tokens (BLVT).

What are Binance Leveraged Tokens?

Binance Leverage Tokens (BLVTs) are designed to address the issues users faced when trading with traditional Leveraged Tokens. Unlike conventional LTs, BLVTs do not maintain ‘constant’ leverage. Instead, BLVTs maintain a variable target leverage range between 1.5x and 3x.

It is tradable in the Binance Spot Advanced trading interface and tracks the BTC perpetual contracts on Binance Futures. Currently, BLVTs are offered in two types: BTCUP and BTCDOWN.

- BTCUP allows you to generate leveraged gains between 1.5 to 3x when Bitcoin goes up.

- On the other hand, BTCDOWN allows you to generate leveraged gains when Bitcoin goes down.


A BLVT tracks the change in the notional value of the perpetual contract positions and changes in leverage.

Why Trade BLVTs Over LTs?

There are several advantages of BLVTs over traditional LTs, they are Variable leverage, Rebalancing, Liquidity, and Fees.

1\. Variable vs Fixed Leverage

Currently, the most popular LT product promises a constant 3x leverage, which means users can potentially gain triple the returns of its underlying asset. For instance, if BTC appreciates by 5%, the LT should generate a 15% return to users.

Let’s take an example to understand how constant leverage in a Leveraged Token works:

1. Assume both the underlying asset and a 3x LT starts at an equal value of $100 each.

2. On Day 1, the underlying asset goes up by 5%, therefore, the 3x LT goes up by 15%

3. On Day 2, the underlying asset goes down by 5%. Likewise, the LT goes down by 15%.


The resulting P&L of both assets at T+2 will be as follows:

![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1597747603-your-essential-guide-to-binance-leveraged-tokens-1.png)

As you can see, the price of the underlying is almost unchanged, while the 3x LT lost more than 2% from its initial value. The situation shown here is known as volatility drag. Volatility drag is the long-term, detrimental impact that volatility has on the investment. The greater the volatility and the longer the time horizon, the more detrimental the impact of volatility drag tends to be.

Most Leveraged Token users are not aware of the hidden dangers of LTs. In particular, users are not aware of how the ‘constant’ leverage of an LT impacts long-term returns, especially in markets where prices are consolidated for an extended period.

Let’s assume that the earlier example plays out over an extended period (365 trading days), where prices of the underlying remain flat and volatile in the range of +5%/-5%. Let’s take a look at the impact on the value of both securities.

![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1597747604-your-essential-guide-to-binance-leveraged-tokens-2.png)

This example illustrates how volatility drag could impact total returns in a side-ways market. This is devastating to users that bought and held the 3x LT, thinking that it is a perfect reflection of the underlying asset.

To address this issue, BLVTs are designed to reduce the impact of volatility drag by maintaining a variable target leverage, from 1.5x to 3x. BLVTs are less impacted in side-ways markets and tend to perform better with market momentum as prices move in one direction.

2\. Rebalancing

LTs increase or decrease their exposure in the underlying asset to achieve the target leverage for the day. As the price of its underlying asset goes up, it will take on more positions. Likewise, if prices go down, it will reduce positions. This is also known as rebalancing. Traditional LTs need to be rebalanced every day to consistently maintain its objective.

For instance, assume that a 3x LT has an initial Net Asset Value (NAV) of $100 million. In line with its mandate, the LT maintains a total exposure of $300 million in the underlying asset.

![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1597747605-your-essential-guide-to-binance-leveraged-tokens-3.png)

Now, let’s imagine that the underlying asset delivers a 5% return. Here we explain how LTs conduct daily rebalancing:

- As prices increased by 5%, the value of its exposure increased by $15 million to $315 million. As a result, the LT will gain $15 million and its NAV increased to $115 million.

- Since the total exposure is now $315 million and its NAV is $115 million, the LT is no longer at 3x leverage and we can say that the total exposure and NAV are unbalanced to one another.

- At the end of the day, the LT must rebalance by purchasing an additional $30 million worth of exposure, increasing the total exposure to $345 million, or 3x of NAV.


Likewise, as the price of the underlying asset goes down, the LT will decrease its exposure in the underlying and rebalance to maintain its constant 3x leverage.

Essentially, if users hold the position longer than a day, their exposure levels could rise or fall dramatically affecting their original investment.

Traditional LTs are programmed to rebalance at preconfigured times (daily). By being entirely predictable in rebalance, LTs are susceptible to front-running. High-frequency traders and arbitrageurs can predict the incoming trades, and profit by nibbling at the edges.

In contrast, BLVTs are not forced to rebalance unless losses are extreme. In fact, BLVTs will only rebalance the positions as needed to maximize profitability on upswings, and minimize losses to avoid liquidation. This means that ‘normal’ fluctuations in the market will not cause rebalances, and the token value will maintain its correlation with the value of its underlying asset.

3\. Market Liquidity

Binance will be the sole-liquidity provider and issuer of BLVTs, which means users will be able to buy tokens at a fair price, and if the supply of tokens runs out, Binance will inject capital, create more tokens, and sell them on the open market. This ensures that users can transact their tokens efficiently and get their orders filled at an acceptable price.

Additionally, Binance guarantees that BLVTs will be always available for sale or purchase within 10% of the NAV. There will be no 'price gouging' or any kind - no BLVTs will be available for sale on the Binance marketplace outside of these strict price limits.

4\. Transaction and Related Fees

Binance Leveraged Tokens offer lower fees as compared to other existing leveraged tokens. BLVTs charge a low daily management fee of 0.01%, with an annualized rate of only 3.5%, whereas the daily management fee of other existing tokens is as high as 0.03%.

Users of BLVTs may choose to exit their positions by selling the token into the Spot market or redeem them at the market value of its NAV. For which, trading or redemption fees will be charged to the user. Users may redeem tokens at any time, although this will generally be more expensive than selling them on the Spot market, and is not recommended during normal trading times.

There are three types of fees related to BLVTs: Trading fees, Redemption fees, and Daily management fees.

Fees

Description

Trading Fees

Trading fees are charged when buying or selling tokens in the spot market, and the fee schedule is identical to spot trading.

Redemption Fees

Redemption fees are charged when users choose to redeem tokens, which is currently set at 0.1% each redemption.

Management Fees

A daily management fee of 0.01% or so depending on the token will be charged and reflected directly in the NAV.

Additionally, users must note that the underlying leveraged positions of BLVTs carry a funding fee. These fees are paid (or paid to) the underlying fund based on the funding rate and reflected directly in the net asset value. Binance takes no fees for funding rate transfers; these are directly between traders.

In Summary

The innovations of BLVTs are designed to tackle the controversial issues of traditional Leveraged Tokens, thus, protecting users from NAV erosion caused by constant rebalancing.

In general, Leveraged tokens are not the substitute for holding assets in the spot market, and that applies to BLVT as well. However, if users predict market moves correctly, they will generally make money by trading BLVTs. It offers many viable alternatives for amplifying gains, putting less trading capital at risk, and even profiting with strong market momentum.

Your Essential Guide To Binance Leveraged Tokens - Cryptohopper

While we at Binance advocate for everyone to buy crypto, we understand that you sometimes need to sell crypto because you might need cash. And as the world’s largest crypto exchange, trusted by millions of users, we offer you some of the best methods for selling Bitcoin at the rate that’s most favorable to you. Besides, our 24/7 [Customer Support team](https://www.binance.com/en/support-center?ref=P6CD65KX) is always ready to help you if there are problems with your transaction.

But First: Explore Other Non-Selling Alternatives.

With crypto becoming more prominent day by day, there are a lot of ways for you to pay for your transactions using the crypto you have. Ask yourself the following questions:

“Will I sell Bitcoin into cash to protect myself from the price fluctuations?”

If yes, then don’t sell immediately. Explore converting your crypto into [stablecoins such as BUSD](https://www.binance.com/en/blog/421499824684900886/?ref=P6CD65KX). Using stablecoins protects your cryptos' fiat valuation without needing to cash out and incurring fees in the process.

“Is there a way for me to pay for my transactions using crypto?”

If yes, then we suggest opting for those methods. Most of the time, opting for crypto payments can end up costing you less than going through the hassle of converting crypto into fiat.

One great way to use crypto to pay for your expenses is the [Binance Card](https://www.binance.com/en/cards?ref=P6CD65KX), which allows you to use the crypto on your Binance account to pay for your bills anywhere in the world. The card is now available in many countries in Europe, with more areas to follow soon. Get one now, and you may not need to cash out for long.

Now, if after those questions, you still need to convert crypto into your local currency, then we’re here to help you regardless.

How to Sell Your Bitcoin Into Cash on Binance (2021 Update)

Following our guide on how to buy Bitcoin, we now provide you with various available options on how to convert BTC into fiat currency on Binance and our partner platforms. (This blog has been updated as of February 2021.)

How to Sell Your Bitcoin Into Cash on Binance (2021 Update) - Cryptohopper

Grid trading is when orders are placed above and below a set price, creating a grid of orders at incrementally increasing and decreasing prices. In this way, it constructs a trading grid. For example, a trader could place buy-orders at every $1,000 below the market price of Bitcoin while also placing sell-orders at every $1,000 above Bitcoin’s market price. This takes advantage of ranging conditions.

Grid trading performs the best in volatile and sideways markets when prices fluctuate in a given range. This technique attempts to make profits on small price changes. The more grids you include, the greater the frequency of trades will be. However, it comes with an expense as the profit you make from each order is lower.

Thus, it is a tradeoff between making small profits from many trades, versus a strategy with lower frequency but generates a bigger profit per order.

Let’s examine how it works.

Suppose you expect Bitcoin to hover in a price range between $50,000 to $60,000 in the next 24-hours. In this case, you could set up a grid trading system to trade within this predicted range.

On the grid trading panel, you could set parameters of the strategy, including:

- The upper and lower boundaries of the price range,

- The number of orders to be placed within the configured price range,

- The width between each buy- and sell-limit order.


![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1615541741-what-is-grid-trading-a-crypto-futures-guide-1.png)

In this scenario, as the price of Bitcoin falls towards $55,000, the grid trading bot will accumulate buy positions on the way down at a lower price than the market. As prices recover, the bot will sell on the way up at a higher price than the market. This strategy essentially attempts to profit from price reversions.

[![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1615541742-what-is-grid-trading-a-crypto-futures-guide-2.png)](https://accounts.binance.com/en/register?ref=&source=futures&return_to=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluYW5jZS5jb20vZW4vZnV0dXJlcw%3D%3D&utm_source=internal&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=grid_trading_post)

Set-up Your First Grid Trading Strategy

The grid trading bot systematically executes buy- and sell-limit orders based on the user’s parameters. Here’s how you can set-up your first grid trading bot.

First, launch your grid trading panel by clicking on the Grid Trading tab located on the top right-hand corner of the Binance Futures trading interface.

![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1615541742-what-is-grid-trading-a-crypto-futures-guide-3.png)

The first parameter that you must select is the contract on which the trading bot will be deployed. In this example, we will be using BTCUSDT perpetual contract.

![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1615541743-what-is-grid-trading-a-crypto-futures-guide-4.png)

Next, determine the type of margin for the grid trading position: Isolated or Cross margin modes. In an isolated margin mode, the margin is independent in each trading pair. Meanwhile, the margin is shared between all trading pairs in the futures account for cross margin mode.

After that, select your desired leverage amount. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. With leverage, you can magnify relatively small price movements to potentially create profits that justify your time and effort. But do bear in mind that leverage is a double-edged sword, and you must use it prudently.

![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1615541744-what-is-grid-trading-a-crypto-futures-guide-5.png)

The lower and upper price boundaries are the two most essential inputs you must determine before launching the grid trading bot. This determines the range within which your limit orders will be placed. The lowest boundary will be your last buy-limit order, while the highest boundary line will be your last sell-limit order.

Next, you choose from two predefined modes: The arithmetic mode constructs each grid with an equal price difference, while the geometric mode constructs each grid with an equal price ratio difference. Remember to set the number of grids; this will determine the number of orders populated within your pre-determined grid range.

![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1615541745-what-is-grid-trading-a-crypto-futures-guide-6.png)

Lastly, assign the initial margin of the position. The system will calculate your Initial Margin value based on the number of grids, leverage, and the strategy’s price range.

Note that the denser the grid, the greater the corresponding initial margin.

Please ensure that your available balance and maintenance margin is higher than the initial margin to avoid liquidation. And finally, click Create to place the grid order.

[![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1615541746-what-is-grid-trading-a-crypto-futures-guide-7.png)](https://accounts.binance.com/en/register?ref=&source=futures&return_to=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluYW5jZS5jb20vZW4vZnV0dXJlcw%3D%3D&utm_source=internal&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=grid_trading_post)

Advanced Features

The grid trading bot also comes with enhanced functions that enable you to better manage your positions and risk. One of which is the trigger price. The Trigger price is a predetermined price level at which the grid trading bot will be activated. This allows you to dictate when the system will be active when market conditions meet your criteria.

When a grid trade is triggered, the system divides the asset price range into several grid levels according to your parameters and sets pending orders for each price level. When the asset’s price falls, a buy order is executed, and a sell-order is placed immediately at a high price. When an asset’s price rises, a buy-order is placed directly at a lower price as soon as a sell order is executed. This strategy sets you up to buy low and sell high and allows you to make profits in volatile market conditions.

Additionally, you can set a stop-loss for your grid positions. Once the asset’s price crosses below or above the stop loss range, your entire grid position will be closed. This feature protects your position from incurring outsized losses when the market behaves unfavorably.

To monitor trading activity, click the Active Grid Tab to find grid trading details.

Lastly, click Terminate to end the grid trading system.

Benefits of Grid Trading

The main advantage of grid trading is that it allows you to trade cryptocurrencies systematically without forecasting the market direction. In ranging markets, grid trading tends to be more effective, but the question is, will it be applicable when prices are trending?

Even in trending markets, volatility continues to exist, especially in short timeframes where prices fluctuate rapidly due to a surge in trading activity. Grid trading benefits from small price changes and allows you to capitalize on increased market volatility. It is also convenient as it eliminates the need to place orders and monitor real-time market movements manually.

When grid trading, you are essentially a liquidity provider to the exchange. By placing multiple buy- and sell-limit orders across the order-book, you are increasing market liquidity; this is favorable to a cryptocurrency exchange.

As a liquidity provider, you will pay “maker” fees, which is usually cheaper than “taker” fees. Therefore, it lowers your overall transaction costs.

Grid trading always sets you up to buy at prices lower than the market or sell at prices higher than the market. Thus, when markets suffer from large price swings (5% up, then 10% down, etc.), grid trading enables you to take advantage of these spikes by providing liquidity with a grid trading bot to transform them into a tidy profit.

Grid Trading Tips

Determining a reasonable price range is the key to ensure your strategy’s profitability. This means that you need to be extremely selective on market conditions suitable for your strategy to avoid being on the wrong side of a trending market.

Importantly, you must ensure that proper risk management measures are in place. Therefore, you must determine a suitable leverage ratio and set appropriate take-profit and stop-loss orders to avoid losses caused by market fluctuations. For example, if a sell order is placed, a stop loss should be above the top of the price range, and if a buy order is placed, a stop loss should be below the bottom of the range.

![](https://static.cryptohopper.com/images/news/uploads/1615541747-what-is-grid-trading-a-crypto-futures-guide-8.png)

Lastly, ensure that your grid trading parameters are compatible with the prevailing market conditions. Especially in range-bound markets, limits orders placed out of range are unlikely to get filled and, as such, causing missed opportunity. The grid trading parameters can be adjusted in real-time according to the prevailing market conditions.

Grid trading is ideal for novices who want to trade in a systematic approach. Don’t miss the opportunity to capitalize on market volatility. Grid trading is available on USDT-margined futures. Explore it today!
