TRX Grid Long Strategy [3Commas]TRX Grid Long Strategy
🔷 What it does:
This is a long-only price-grid strategy that harvests volatility on TRX / USDT through repeated round-trips on a pre-defined ladder of price levels between two fixed bounds. Each level is an independent slot: when price crosses down through a level, the strategy opens one slot; when price subsequently crosses up through the level immediately above, that slot is closed for a fixed round-trip profit. The grid is generated geometrically by default, so spacing adapts to the price scale.
- Up to 35 simultaneous long slots at default settings, each sized as a fixed fraction of the configured Total Investment.
- No trailing exit, no stop loss — each slot's exit is the level above its entry.
- Per-slot exposure is approximately 2.86% of equity at default settings, comfortably inside the conventional 5–10% per-trade risk band.
- Every fill and close emits a webhook-ready JSON alert payload tagged with the specific grid slot.
🔷 Who is it for:
- Swing traders harvesting volatility on TRX in range-bound regimes.
- Bot operators looking for a chart-driven signal source with per-slot webhook JSON ready to drive a DCA Bot configured for grid execution.
- Traders running a portfolio of low-correlation strategies who want a high-trade-count contributor with bounded per-trade risk.
- Range traders who prefer mechanical execution over discretionary entries.
🔷 How does it work:
Grid Construction: On script load, the strategy computes N price levels between the configured High and Low bounds. In Geometric mode (default), level k is at High × (Low/High)^(k/(N-1)), giving constant percent spacing — approximately 1.0% per step at default settings. In Arithmetic mode, levels are linearly spaced by absolute price.
Per-Slot Logic: Each grid level is an independent slot tracked by a boolean ownership flag. When bar close moves price down through an empty slot's level, a long is opened at that level for one slot's worth of capital (Investment / N). When bar close moves price up through the level immediately above an owned slot, that slot is closed, locking the round-trip profit between the two adjacent levels.
No Trailing, No Stop Loss: By design, each slot has a fixed exit (the level above). The strategy never trails the exit and never stops a slot out for a loss — slots whose entry price is below current market simply wait until price comes back. This is the canonical grid-bot behavior.
Capital Bounds: Total deployed capital cannot exceed the configured Investment. When all 35 slots are filled, no new orders are opened until price rises and starts closing slots. This structural cap is the strategy's primary risk control.
🔷 Why it's unique:
- Per-Level Webhook Ledger: Every fill and close emits a fully-formed JSON alert payload tagged with the specific grid slot ("Grid_BUY_L5" / "Grid_TP_L5"). The strategy can drive a DCA Bot configured for grid emulation without any glue layer.
- Pre-Allocated State: All up to 200 slot ledgers live in fixed-size arrays, so state lookups are constant-time and the chart can render every active slot with no performance overhead.
- Honest Backtest Surface: The avg entry line plotted on the chart and the open PnL displayed in the status table both reflect the actual broker-equivalent position state — derived from fill-by-fill bookkeeping, not synthetic averaging. The status table also reports the cumulative realized net profit (how much the grid has actually earned, in USDT and % of starting capital), so live performance is visible directly on the chart.
- Calibrated for TRX 15m: Default bounds, level count, and step size are set against TRX's recent observed range. The 35-level geometric ladder gives roughly 1.0% per step — wide enough to clear taker fees on each round-trip, granular enough to keep catching 15m swings inside the range.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Strategy:
Market Selection & Range Validity: Grid strategies are most profitable in range-bound, mean-reverting markets. On strong directional trends below the configured Low, slots will keep loading as price falls and won't close until price reverses. The default High/Low (0.3713 / 0.2660) was set against TRX's recent observed range; update both whenever the regime changes.
Capital Deployment & Drawdown: The default Investment of 10,000 USDT equals 100% of starting capital — high-conviction setting that assumes the configured range holds. Per-slot risk is moderate (~2.86% of equity), but if price collapses below the Low bound, aggregate unrealized loss can grow further — the reference backtest reached a 10.95% maximum equity drawdown. Scale the Investment input down to match the worst-case drawdown you are willing to absorb.
No Stop Loss Justification: There is no exit on adverse moves below the lowest grid level. The strategy's per-trade risk is structurally capped by the per-slot allocation (Investment / N levels) — at defaults that is ~286 USDT per slot, inside the conventional 5–10% per-trade band. The aggregate unrealized exposure is controlled separately via the Investment input.
Trade Volume & Fees: Grid bots on 15m generate a high number of round-trips. The ~1.0% step is deliberately wider than a tight scalp grid so each round-trip comfortably clears the taker fee. The default commission (0.06% per trade) should be matched to your exchange's actual fees; with a profit factor of 1.227 the edge is modest, so a fee mismatch matters.
Demo Testing: Always demo-test before going live. Past results do not guarantee future performance, especially on a strategy whose profitability is bounded by the chosen High/Low range remaining valid.
🔷 STRATEGY PROPERTIES

Timeframe: 15M
Test Period: May 1, 2025 — June 22, 2026 (~13.7 months).
Initial Capital: 10,000 USDT.
Total Investment: 10,000 USDT (100% of capital, high-conviction setting).
Order Size per Slot: Investment / 35 ≈ 286 USDT (~2.86% of equity).
Commission: 0.06% per trade.
Slippage: 3 ticks.
Margin for Long Positions: 100%.
Indicator Settings: Default Configuration.
Grid Bounds: High 0.3713 / Low 0.2660 (range −28.36%).
Grid Levels: 35 (Geometric spacing, ~1.0% per step).
Stop Loss: None — per-slot allocation is the structural risk cap.
Trailing: None.
Strategy: Long Only.
🔷 STRATEGY RESULTS
⚠️ Remember, past results do not guarantee future performance.
Net Profit: +481.18 USDT (+4.81%)
Max Equity Drawdown: 1,107.89 USDT (10.95%)
Total Closed Trades: 460
Percent Profitable: 46.30% (213 / 460)
Profit Factor: 1.227
🔷 How to Use It:
🔸 Adjust Settings: Open the strategy inputs and set the High and Low bounds to a range you expect TRX to respect. Pick Geometric for percent-spaced levels (default, recommended) or Arithmetic. Set Grid Levels (7–200) and Total Investment to match your risk profile.
🔸 Results Review: Run a full-period backtest and confirm Max Drawdown stays within your personal risk band — note this configuration reached 10.95%. The 460 closed trades are well above the ~100-trade floor for statistical relevance, but the 1.227 profit factor leaves a modest margin once real fees are applied.
🔸 Create alerts to trigger the DCA Bot: Add one alert on the strategy using "Any alert() function call". Paste your DCA Bot's webhook URL into the alert's Webhook field, and fill the Bot ID, Email Token, and Pair inputs on the script. Every grid-level buy and grid-level close will emit a dedicated JSON payload tagged with the slot index, so each level can be tracked independently downstream.
🔷 INDICATOR SETTINGS
High Price: Top of the grid. The highest level a slot can be created from.
Low Price: Bottom of the grid. The lowest level a slot can be created from.
Grid Levels: Number of price levels between High and Low (default 35, range 7–200).
Spacing Mode: Geometric (constant percent step) or Arithmetic (constant absolute step).
Total Investment (USDT): Total capital allocated across all slots. Per-slot size = Investment / Grid Levels.
Bot ID / Email Token / Pair: Webhook fields injected into every alert payload.
Visualization: Toggle grid lines, range box, HIGH/LOW labels, avg entry plot, fill labels, status table (shows range, levels, owned slots, investment, per-slot size, open PnL, and cumulative realized net profit).
Brand Watermark: Configurable text, position, size, and transparency.

XAU Grid - Long IndicatorXAU Grid — Long Indicator
🔷 What it does:
This is a signal-only indicator that mirrors a price-grid long workflow between two fixed bounds. It tracks up to 48 independent virtual slots between a configurable High and Low — each slot fires a webhook-ready buy signal when price crosses down through it, and a paired sell signal when price subsequently crosses up through the slot immediately above. The indicator computes a running average entry, total deployed capital, and open PnL from the live slot ledger and renders all of it on the chart.
- Pre-computes 5–50 grid levels in Geometric (default) or Arithmetic spacing.
- Each slot is an independent ownership flag with its own buy/sell webhook payload.
- Avg entry is derived from fill-by-fill bookkeeping — total cost and total qty are updated on every event.
- Every event emits a webhook-ready JSON alert payload tagged with the specific grid slot.
🔷 Who is it for:
- Swing traders harvesting volatility on range-bound assets where directional bias is unclear.
- Bot operators looking for a chart-driven signal source that emits per-slot JSON ready for a DCA Bot configured for grid emulation.
- Traders who want to monitor a virtual grid state — avg entry, owned slots, deployed capital, open PnL — directly on the chart without a backtest engine.
- Portfolio operators using a low-volatility contributor alongside directional strategies.
🔷 How does it work:
Grid Construction: On script load, the indicator computes N price levels between the configured High and Low bounds. In Geometric mode (default), level k is at High × (Low/High)^(k/(N-1)), giving constant percent spacing. In Arithmetic mode, levels are linearly spaced by absolute price.
Per-Slot State Machine: Each grid level is an independent slot tracked by a boolean ownership flag. When close price crosses down through an empty slot's level, the slot is marked owned, virtual cost-basis is added, and the BUY webhook payload is dispatched. When close price crosses up through the level immediately above an owned slot, the slot is marked free, virtual cost-basis is subtracted, and the SELL webhook payload is dispatched.
Honest Virtual Bookkeeping: Total cost and total qty are updated incrementally on each event, so the avg entry, deployed capital, and open PnL displayed in the status table reflect the actual broker-equivalent position state — no shortcuts from base entry, no synthetic averaging.
No Trailing, No Stop Loss: By design, each slot has a fixed exit (the level above). The indicator never trails the exit and never signals a slot-out for a loss — slots that fall below their entry stay owned until price comes back. This is the canonical grid bot behavior.
🔷 Why it's unique:
- Per-Level Webhook Ledger: Every BUY and SELL emits a fully-formed JSON alert payload tagged with the specific grid slot ("Grid_BUY_L5" / "Grid_TP_L5"). The indicator can drive a DCA Bot configured for grid emulation without any glue layer.
- Fill-by-Fill Avg Entry: The orange avg-entry line is derived from running totals updated on every event — what you see is what the broker-equivalent position would actually have.
- Active Slot Highlighting: Owned grid levels are rendered with a thicker green stroke; empty slots stay dashed gray. Slot density and current loading are visible at a glance.
- Range Box & Bounds Labels: A semi-transparent box spans the configured High/Low range, and crisp HIGH/LOW labels mark the bounds — the grid topology is obvious without zooming.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Indicator:
Market Selection: Grid strategies are most profitable in range-bound, mean-reverting markets. On strong directional trends, the indicator will keep marking slots as owned as price moves away and won't free any until price reverses. Pick assets that respect a defined range, and re-tune High/Low whenever the regime changes.
Range Configuration: The default High/Low (4857.27 / 3568.69) was set against XAUTUSDT historical extremes. Update both bounds before deploying on any other asset — the Geometric spacing is sensitive to the bounds ratio.
Cross Detection Granularity: Crossings are detected on bar close, comparing the current close to the previous close. A bar that spikes through a level and returns within the same bar may be missed by design — this prevents over-signaling on intra-bar wicks.
Live vs Historical State: The virtual slot ledger is rebuilt from chart history each time the indicator is recompiled. If the indicator is added mid-deployment or the live bot diverges from the signal stream (manual interventions, partial fills), the indicator state may not match the live bot. Toggle the indicator off and on to reset.
No Stop Loss: There is no exit signal on adverse moves below the lowest grid level. Risk is structurally capped on the bot side by the bounded Total Investment input. If a hard stop is required, layer it on the bot side.
Backtesting Note: This is an indicator, not a strategy. There is no built-in P&L tester. For performance metrics, use the companion strategy version on the same parameters.
🔷 How to Use It:
🔸 Add the indicator to a chart on the asset and timeframe you want to trade.
🔸 Set the High and Low bounds to a range you expect the asset to respect.
🔸 Pick Geometric (default, recommended for crypto and commodities) or Arithmetic spacing.
🔸 Set Grid Levels (5–50) and the virtual Total Investment used for avg-entry computation.
🔸 In the DCA Bot Webhook group, paste your Bot ID, Email Token, and Pair (QUOTE_BASE format, e.g., USDT_XAU).
🔸 Create an alert on the indicator with "Any alert() function call". Paste the DCA Bot's webhook URL into the alert's Webhook field. Every grid-level buy and grid-level close will emit a dedicated JSON payload tagged with the slot index, so each level can be tracked independently downstream.
🔷 INDICATOR SETTINGS
High Price: Top of the grid. The highest level a slot can be created from.
Low Price: Bottom of the grid. The lowest level a slot can be created from.
Grid Levels: Number of price levels between High and Low (default 48, capped at 50).
Spacing Mode: Geometric (constant percent step) or Arithmetic (constant absolute step).
Total Investment (USDT): Virtual capital allocated across all slots. Used for the avg-entry and open-PnL computation only.
Bot ID / Email Token / Pair: Webhook fields injected into every alert payload.
Visualization: Toggle grid lines, range box, HIGH/LOW labels, avg entry plot, fill labels, signal triangles, status table.
Brand Watermark: Configurable text, position, size, and transparency.

TRV & nTRV - Trimmed Range VolatilityGrid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup.Grid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup.
Why We Developed TRV?
When a gap or sudden spike occurs in the morning, this extreme movement affects standard ATR calculations for an extended period. Even if the price moves sideways for the rest of the day, ATR remains elevated. This causes grid bots to operate with unnecessarily wide spacing and execute fewer trades.
TRV Advantages:
✅ Unaffected by Gaps: Opening gaps don't distort the calculation
✅ Extreme Point Elimination: Filters the largest and smallest outlier candles
✅ Real-Time Accuracy: Shows current market volatility
✅ Grid Bot Optimization: Enables tighter and more efficient grid spacing
✅ Comparison Capability: Compare different stocks and timeframes with nTRV
Grid Bot Usage:
The TRV value is used directly to calculate the number of grid lines:
(Resistance - Support) / TRV = Number of Grid Lines
Example:
Resistance: $110
Support: $90
TRV: $2
Grid Count: (110-90)/2 = 10 grid lines
Features:
Two Filtering Modes: Manual (enter number) or Percentage-Based (automatic ratio)
Four Indicators in One: nTRV, TRV, ATR, and nATR all displayed on the same panel
nTRV: Normalized value (percentage-based, for stock comparison)
TRV: Absolute value (currency-based, for grid calculation)
ATR & nATR Included: Standard ATR and nATR for direct comparison with TRV
Comprehensive Analysis: Compare filtered (TRV) vs unfiltered (ATR) volatility side-by-side
Default: 10% top, 10% bottom outlier elimination
Conclusion:
TRV is an advanced version of ATR specifically designed for grid bot traders. By filtering outlier movements, it provides more stable and reliable volatility measurement. The indicator includes both TRV (filtered) and ATR (unfiltered) on the same chart, giving traders a comprehensive view to make informed decisions. This dual-display approach enables more efficient grid strategies and increased trading frequency. Indicator
Grid Level Visualizer v1.0Overview
This indicator draws a customizable grid of horizontal price levels directly on your chart. It's designed to help traders visualize potential support and resistance zones, manage grid trading strategies, or simply divide a price range into equal segments. The script offers interactive controls, extensive customization options, and alert functionality.
Key Features:
Customizable Grid: Draws a grid based on user-defined Upper Price Bound and Lower Price Bound.
Interactive Bounds: Easily adjust the Upper and Lower bounds by dragging the corresponding lines directly on the chart (click the line first to select, then drag). Bounds can also be set numerically in the settings.
Adjustable Levels: Specify the total number of horizontal lines in the grid (Number of Grid Levels), including bounds.
Custom Styling: Independently configure the color, width, and style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for the boundary lines and the intermediate grid lines.
Price Labels: Optional display of price values for each grid level, positioned on the right side near the current bar.
Labels for boundary levels automatically inherit the boundary line colors.
Adjustable horizontal offset (Price Label Offset (X)) for labels.
Customizable text size (Text Size) and color (Price Text Color (Mid)) for mid-levels.
Grid Start Time: Define a specific date and time (Grid Start Time) from which the grid lines should start appearing on the chart (defaults to the beginning of the current month).
Line Extension: Grid lines automatically extend to the right margin of the chart.
Alert Condition: Provides a "Grid Level Cross" condition for creating custom alerts when price crosses any active grid level.
Alert Toggle: An option (Enable Alert Condition?) in the settings to enable or disable the availability of the "Grid Level Cross" condition when creating alerts.
Real-time Calculation: Uses calc_on_every_tick=true for responsive alert checking against the current price.
How to Use:
Add the "Improved Grid Level Visualizer" indicator to your chart.
Set Bounds: Adjust the Upper Price Bound and Lower Price Bound lines by clicking and dragging them on the chart, or set precise values in the indicator settings.

Rocket Grid Algorithm - The Quant ScienceThe Rocket Grid Algorithm is a trading strategy that enables traders to engage in both long and short selling strategies. The script allows traders to backtest their strategies with a date range of their choice, in addition to selecting the desired strategy - either SMA Based Crossunder or SMA Based Crossover.
The script is a combination of trend following and short-term mean reversing strategies. Trend following involves identifying the current market trend and riding it for as long as possible until it changes direction. This type of strategy can be used over a medium- to long-term time horizon, typically several months to a few years.
Short-term mean reversing, on the other hand, involves taking advantage of short-term price movements that deviate from the average price. This type of strategy is usually applied over a much shorter time horizon, such as a few days to a few weeks. By rapidly entering and exiting positions, the strategy seeks to capture small, quick gains in volatile market conditions.
Overall, the script blends the best of both worlds by combining the long-term stability of trend following with the quick gains of short-term mean reversing, allowing traders to potentially benefit from both short-term and long-term market trends.
Traders can configure the start and end dates, months, and years, and choose the length of the data they want to work with. Additionally, they can set the percentage grid and the upper and lower destroyers to manage their trades effectively. The script also calculates the Simple Moving Average of the chosen data length and plots it on the chart.
The trigger for entering a trade is defined as a crossunder or crossover of the close price with the Simple Moving Average. Once the trigger is activated, the script calculates the total percentage of the side and creates a grid range. The grid range is then divided into ten equal parts, with each part representing a unique grid level. The script keeps track of each grid level, and once the close price reaches the grid level, it opens a trade in the specified direction.
The equity management strategy in the script involves a dynamic allocation of equity to each trade. The first order placed uses 10% of the available equity, while each subsequent order uses 1% less of the available equity. This results in the allocation of 9% for the second order, 8% for the third order, and so on, until a maximum of 10 open trades. This approach allows for risk management and can help to limit potential losses.
Overall, the Rocket Grid Algorithm is a flexible and powerful trading strategy that can be customized to meet the specific needs of individual traders. Its user-friendly interface and robust backtesting capabilities make it an excellent tool for traders looking to enhance their trading experience. Strategy
