Grid Ranges+ (M1D)Grid Ranges+ (M1D)
A grid-range framework for the New York trading day. It draws the higher-timeframe levels that frame the current range, divides any range you choose into quadrants, octants or sixteenths, boxes the three trading sessions, and reads the 12AM–2AM algorithmic range for aid in a directional bias.
Every session window is evaluated in America/New York regardless of the time zone the chart is viewed from, and every window is an input.
HOW IT IS BUILT
Levels are anchored to the candle that formed them. A higher-timeframe data request returns the value of a period's high but not the bar that made it. This script tracks each period's extremes on the chart instead, along with the bar time of each, so a previous-day high begins at the candle that set it rather than at the moment the number changed. The trade-off is that a period only reports once its opening bar is inside loaded history; where it is not, the level stays hidden rather than anchoring to a bar that did not set it.
Week and month boundaries derive from the New York day stamp, not from a weekly timeframe change, which is unreliable on futures instruments.
The swing pair is kept alternating. Pivot-high and pivot-low detection are independent of each other, so a chart can print several highs with no qualifying low between them. A pivot on the same side as the stored one replaces it only when it is more extreme, while a pivot on the opposite side begins the next leg. Without that rule, a recent high pairs with a low from a different move and the two do not describe one leg.
WHAT IT DRAWS
Levels.
Previous month, previous week, previous day and three-day highs and lows, the previous day's equilibrium, and the midnight open. Each line runs from its origin candle to a fixed right-hand edge and carries its name at that end, on the same eye-line as the price it names. Names that would otherwise print on top of each other move right into a second column rather than off their own line.
The grid.
A range bounded by any two of those levels, selected from two dropdowns and oriented automatically, divided into quadrants, octants or sixteenths. It begins at the earlier of the two origin candles. The midline is labelled EQ, and quarter fractions are reduced to lowest terms. A fraction is suppressed wherever a level already names that price, so no price carries two names.
Sessions.
Asia, London and New York as boxes that grow with each session's own high and low and freeze when the window closes. The caption sits below the box at the session open. Each session carries its own day mask.
The bias.
The 12AM–2AM algorithmic range as a box, and a console reading BULLISH, BEARISH, INVALIDATED or UNSET. A sweep clearing both the range boundary and the midnight open inside the sweep window, followed by a confirmed close back inside the range, arms a directional read. A confirmed close back through the swept extreme invalidates it, after which the opposite side may arm. Three alert conditions cover those transitions.
SETTINGS
Grouped as-
Time windows, Sessions, Bias engine, Grid range, Levels shown, Level styling and Labels.
Every level carries its own colour, line style, line width and label offset. The grid carries its own colour, style, width, interior transparency and equilibrium colour. Every session window is an input with a New York default and its own day mask, and session boxes carry their own colours and fill transparency.
NOTES
Nothing extends to the right edge of the chart. Every line stops a set number of bars past the live candle, and its label sits at that end.
Current-day and swing anchors move as the session develops, so a grid anchored to them redraws live. A grid anchored to completed periods does not.
Display toggles gate drawing only. Hiding an element never stops it being tracked, so the bias read is unaffected by what is on screen.
Grid boundaries are not drawn by the grid by default. A boundary is the anchor level itself, which already draws its own line from its own origin candle.

XMR Grid - Long IndicatorXMR Grid — Long Indicator
🔷 What it does:
This is a signal-only indicator that mirrors a price-grid long workflow on XMR / USDT between two fixed bounds. It tracks up to 37 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 7–200 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 XMR in range-bound regimes.
- Bot operators looking for a chart-driven signal source that emits per-slot JSON ready for a DCA Bot configured for grid execution.
- 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 high-trade-count 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 — approximately 1.0% per step at default settings. 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. The table also accumulates the realized PnL from every closed slot (the exact round-trip profit between adjacent levels), so it shows how much the grid has actually earned over the chart history.
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.
- Calibrated for XMR 15m: Default bounds, level count, and step size are set against XMR's recent observed range. The 37-level geometric ladder gives roughly 1.0% per step — wide enough to clear perpetual taker fees on each round-trip, granular enough to keep catching 15m swings inside the range.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Indicator:
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 marking as owned as price falls and won't free until price reverses. The default High/Low (415 / 290) was set against XMR's recent observed range; update both whenever the regime changes.
Capital Deployment: The default Total Investment of 10,000 USDT is a virtual reference used for the avg-entry and open-PnL computation. The real sizing happens on the bot side — match the indicator's per-slot allocation to your bot's grid configuration to keep the avg-entry display honest.
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 configured at the bot. 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 over a ~3.2-month sample (733 closed trades, 72.71% win rate, 3.59% max drawdown, profit factor 2.48, +14.18% net return), use the companion strategy version on identical parameters.
🔷 How to Use It:
🔸 Add the indicator to a XMR / USDT 15m chart.
🔸 Set the High and Low bounds to a range you expect XMR to respect.
🔸 Pick Geometric (default, recommended) or Arithmetic spacing.
🔸 Set Grid Levels (7–200) 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_XMR).
🔸 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 37, range 7–200).
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 (shows status, range, levels, owned slots, avg entry, deployed capital, open PnL, and cumulative realized PnL).
Brand Watermark: Configurable text, position, size, and transparency.

Gridbot Ping Pong🏓 Gridbot Ping Pong is a dynamic grid bot indicator that generates buy and sell signals as price oscillates between automatically calculated support and resistance levels. The grid adapts to trending markets through adjustable tilt and anchor parameters, which control the grid slope and shift resistance respectively. Entry signals trigger when price touches grid levels, while take profit and stop signals manage position exits. Unlike traditional grid bots that require horizontal ranges, this indicator maintains its oscillation zone as price trends by tilting and shifting the grid structure to follow momentum. The grid bot approach aims to accumulate gains through frequent touches across multiple grid levels rather than seeking large directional moves. Like a ping pong ball in motion, price oscillates between grid levels — each touch generates a signal.
⚡ THEORY & CONCEPTS ⚡
Grid trading is a systematic approach that places buy and sell orders at predetermined price intervals, creating a grid of orders above and below a set price level. In ranging markets, this method capitalizes on natural price oscillations by buying at lower grid levels and selling at higher ones. Each completed round trip between levels represents a captured opportunity, and the frequency of these oscillations determines the grid's effectiveness. Traditional grid bots excel when price remains within the defined range, methodically accumulating gains as price bounces between levels.
However, traditional grid structures face significant challenges when markets begin to trend. Fixed horizontal levels that performed well during consolidation become liabilities during directional moves. An uptrend leaves buy orders unfilled while sell orders trigger prematurely, and a downtrend creates the opposite problem. Extended trends can result in accumulated positions at increasingly unfavorable prices, with no mechanism to adapt to the new market reality. The static nature of traditional grids assumes markets will return to the mean, yet sustained breakouts regularly invalidate this assumption.
Gridbot Ping Pong addresses these limitations through dynamic grid adaptation. The tilt parameter angles the grid in the direction of the prevailing trend, aligning support and resistance levels with market momentum rather than fighting against it. The anchor parameter creates buffer zones beyond the outer grid boundaries, requiring price to demonstrate conviction before triggering a grid shift. When price breaks through these buffers, the entire grid recenters to the new price level. This combination of tilting grids and controlled shifting allows the indicator to maintain grid trading mechanics while acknowledging that markets trend.
The grid adapts through a downtrend and early reversal. Entry signals (▲▼), take profit signals (△▽), and grid shifts demonstrate the ping pong sequence as price oscillates between levels.
The grid structure consists of five levels: two potential support levels below, a center base price, and two potential resistance levels above. These levels are calculated as percentage intervals from a dynamic base price, with the spacing parameter determining the distance between each level. Trend direction is derived from consecutive grid shifts, where multiple shifts in the same direction confirm momentum. The grid restricts entries to the trend direction — buy signals in uptrends, sell signals in downtrends — while counter-trend signals convert to exits when appropriate.
Full market cycle demonstrating grid adaptation through rally, reversal, decline, and recovery. Buy signals dominate during uptrends, sell signals during downtrends, with take profits at boundaries throughout. Two stop signals mark the trend reversals.
Tilt
The tilt mechanic introduces slope to the grid structure based on trend direction and momentum. When consecutive shifts occur in the same direction, the tilt increases, creating a steeper grid that tracks with the trend. As the trend progresses, support levels rise with it — buy signals trigger on pullbacks to these rising levels rather than static levels abandoned by price. Similarly, resistance levels fall during downtrends, keeping sell signals relevant to current price action. If the trend reverses and shifts occur in the opposite direction, the tilt resets and begins building in the new direction. The tilt strength parameter controls how aggressively the grid slopes, with higher values producing steeper angles. Negative tilt values invert this relationship, angling the grid against the prevailing momentum rather than with it. This counter-trend configuration positions support levels lower during uptrends and resistance levels higher during downtrends, favoring mean reversion entries that anticipate pullbacks rather than continuation.
Negative tilt applied during an uptrend. Despite the bullish price action from late November through December, the grids slope downward, positioning buy signals at deeper support levels. Take profit signals appear at resistance as price reaches the upper grid boundaries before pulling back. The counter-trend configuration captures oscillations within the rising market rather than chasing momentum.
Anchor
The anchor mechanic provides resistance to grid shifting. Buffer zones extend beyond the outer grid boundaries, requiring price to demonstrate conviction before triggering a shift. Higher anchor values create larger buffers, requiring more significant price movement. As consecutive shifts confirm a trend, the pro-trend buffer shrinks, allowing the grid to follow momentum with increasing ease. This lets the indicator commit to established trends while resisting premature shifts during consolidations. Tilt and anchor work in complementary tension: tilt rewards momentum by angling the grid, while anchor resists excessive shifting by requiring price conviction to recenter. When price breaks through these buffers, the entire grid recenters to the new price level and play continues on a fresh table.
Steady uptrend with minimal tilt. The flat grid segments demonstrate that shifting alone keeps the grid aligned with price action. Buy signals (▲) and take profit signals (▽) alternate as price bounces between levels, accumulating gains through repetition across the entire move.
Sustained uptrend from June through September. The grid follows the trend with increasing ease as consecutive shifts reduce the pro-trend buffer. The October consolidation eventually triggers a downward shift and stop signal, but the system adapts to the renewed uptrend in November with fresh entry signals.
Signal Generation
The indicator generates three signal types. Entry signals (▲▼) trigger when price reaches a grid level in the direction of the trend, initiating a new position. Take profit signals (△▽) trigger when price reaches a grid level against the trend direction while a position is held, capturing gains as the rally continues. Stop signals (⦿) trigger when a grid shift occurs while holding a position adverse to the new shift direction. The ball goes off the table.
Trend reversal from bearish to bullish. The grid follows the downtrend through November with consecutive sell signals. A stop signal (⦿) triggers at the bottom as the grid shifts adversely against the held position. The system resets and adapts to the emerging uptrend in December, generating fresh buy signals as the new direction establishes.
Trigger Options
The signal trigger determines what price data the indicator uses to detect grid touches, balancing responsiveness against confirmation.
Auto : The default setting, using wick-based detection for pro-trend signals and close-based detection for counter-trend signals. This balances responsiveness when entering with the trend against confirmation when signaling against it.
Wick Touch : Generates signals in real-time when the high or low touches a grid level, providing the fastest response to price interaction.
Wick Reverse : Requires the wick to cross through the grid level from the previous bar, confirming the touch before signaling.
SWMA : Uses a Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average as the trigger source, generating signals only when the smoothed price crosses grid levels.
Close : Uses the bar's closing price as the trigger source, providing confirmed signals after each bar completes.
Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average (SWMA) trigger during a trend reversal. The smoothed price line filters intrabar noise, generating signals only when the SWMA crosses grid levels rather than reacting to wick touches. The grid follows the downtrend through November, resets at the bottom, and adapts to the emerging uptrend in December.
Signal Safeguards
The indicator includes built-in protections to reduce overtrading and mitigate risk, keeping the ball in play longer:
Boundary Protection : New entries are blocked at the outermost grid levels where breakout risk is highest. Exits remain permitted at these boundaries.
Signal Spacing : Signals maintain one-level separation from the most recent signal, preventing clusters of entries at similar prices.
Trend Alignment : When conflicting conditions arise, signals align with the prevailing trend direction rather than fighting momentum.
Automatic Profit Taking : Counter-trend interactions convert to take profit signals when a position is held, capturing gains rather than reversing exposure.
Adverse Shift Stops : When the grid shifts against a held position, a stop signal triggers to exit before further adverse movement.
Cautious Breakout Entries : On the first shift in a new direction, entries are restricted to favorable grid levels until the trend confirms through consecutive shifts.
Shift Resistance : Counter-trend shifts always require full buffer conviction, while pro-trend shifts become easier only after the trend is confirmed.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Gridbot Ping Pong indicator is a visual analysis tool designed to illustrate grid trading concepts and serve as a framework for understanding grid bot mechanics. While the indicator generates entry, exit, and stop signals, no guarantee is made regarding the profitability of these signals. Like all technical indicators, the grid levels and signals generated by this tool may appear to align with favorable trading opportunities in hindsight. However, these signals are not intended as standalone recommendations for trading decisions. This indicator is intended for educational and analytical purposes, complementing other tools and methods of market analysis.
🧠 BEYOND THE CODE 🧠
Gridbot Ping Pong is part of the Grid Bot Series, building on the concepts introduced in the Grid Bot Simulator , Grid Bot Auto , and Grid Bot Parabolic indicators. While those tools established the foundation for grid-based analysis, this indicator introduces dynamic tilt and anchor mechanics that adapt to trending market conditions.
This indicator shares the same educational philosophy as the Fibonacci Time-Price Zones and the Fibonacci Geometry Series - providing frameworks for understanding market concepts through visualization and experimentation rather than black-box signals.
The Gridbot Ping Pong indicator, like other xxattaxx indicators , is designed to encourage both education and community engagement. Feedback and insights are invaluable to refining and enhancing this tool. We look forward to the creative applications, observations, and discussions this indicator inspires within the trading community. Indicator
Grid Tendence V1The “Grid Tendence V1” strategy is based on the classic Grid strategy, only in this case the entries and exits are made in favor of the trend, which allows to take advantage of large movements to maximize profits, since it is also possible to enter and exit with the balance with a controlled risk, because precisely the distance between each Grid works as a natural and adaptable stop loss and take profit. This fact helps to avoid overlapping entries and exits that would result from using stop loss and take profit as limit orders.
In this version of the script the entries and exits are always at market, and based on the percentage change of the price, not on the profit or loss of the current position.
The user will notice that the strategy setup is based on a controlled risk, risking 5% on each trade, a fairly standard commission and a modest initial capital, all this in order to protect the user of the strategy from unexpected or unrealistic results.
However, it is always recommended to optimize the parameters so that the strategy is effective for each asset and for each time frame. Strategy
Grid Bot Parabolic [xxattaxx]🟩 The Grid Bot Parabolic, a continuation of the Grid Bot Simulator Series , enhances traditional gridbot theory by employing a dynamic parabolic curve to visualize potential support and resistance levels. This adaptability is particularly useful in volatile or trending markets, enabling traders to explore grid-based strategies and gain deeper market insights. The grids are divided into customizable trade zones that trigger signals as prices move into new zones, empowering traders to gain deeper insights into market dynamics and potential turning points.
While traditional grid bots excel in ranging markets, the Grid Bot Parabolic’s introduction of acceleration and curvature adds new dimensions, enabling its use in trending markets as well. It can function as a traditional grid bot with horizontal lines, a tilted grid bot with linear slopes, or a fully parabolic grid with curves. This dynamic nature allows the indicator to adapt to various market conditions, providing traders with a versatile tool for visualizing dynamic support and resistance levels.

📐 GRID STRUCTURES 📐
Beyond its core parabolic functionality, the Parabolic Grid Bot offers a range of grid configurations to suit different market conditions and trading preferences. By adjusting the "Acceleration" and "Curvature" parameters, you can transform the grid's structure:
Parabolic Grids
Setting both acceleration and curvature to non-zero values results in a parabolic grid.This configuration can be particularly useful for visualizing potential turning points and trend reversals. Example: Accel = 10, Curve = -10)
Linear Grids
With a non-zero acceleration and zero curvature, the grid tilts to represent a linear trend, aiding in identifying potential support and resistance levels during trending phases. Example: Accel =1.75, Curve = 0
Horizontal Grids
When both acceleration and curvature are set to zero, the indicator reverts to a traditional grid bot with horizontal lines, suitable for ranging markets. Example: Accel=0, Curve=0

🤖 ALGORITHM AND CALCULATION 🤖
The Parabolic Function
At the core of the Parabolic Grid Bot lies the parabolic function, which calculates a dynamic curve that adapts to price action over time. This curve serves as the foundation for visualizing potential support and resistance levels.
The shape and behavior of the parabola are influenced by three key user-defined parameters:
Acceleration: This parameter controls the rate of change of the curve's slope, influencing its tilt or steepness. A higher acceleration value results in a more pronounced tilt, while a lower value leads to a gentler slope. This applies to both curved and linear grid configurations.
Curvature: This parameter introduces and controls the curvature or bend of the grid. A higher curvature value results in a more pronounced parabolic shape, while a lower value leads to a flatter curve or even a straight line (when set to zero).
Sensitivity: This setting fine-tunes the overall responsiveness of the grid, influencing how strongly the Acceleration and Curvature parameters affect its shape. Increasing sensitivity amplifies the impact of these parameters, making the grid more adaptable to price changes but potentially leading to more frequent adjustments. Decreasing sensitivity reduces their impact, resulting in a more stable grid structure with fewer adjustments. It may be necessary to adjust Sensitivity when switching between different assets or timeframes to ensure optimal scaling and responsiveness.
The parabolic function combines these parameters to generate a curve that visually represents the potential path of price movement. By understanding how these inputs influence the parabola's shape and behavior, traders can gain valuable insights into potential support and resistance areas, aiding in their decision-making process.
Sentiment
The Parabolic Grid Bot incorporates sentiment to enhance signal generation. The "Sentiment" input allows you to either:
Manually specify the market sentiment: Choose between 'Long' (bullish), 'Short' (bearish), or 'Neutral'.
Let the script determine sentiment based on the slope of the parabolic curve: If 'Slope' is selected, the sentiment will be considered 'Long' when the curve is sloping upwards, 'Short' when it's sloping downwards, and 'Neutral' when it's flat.
Buy and Sell Signals
The Parabolic Grid Bot generates buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the price and the grid levels.
Trigger: The "Trigger" input determines which part of the candlestick is used to trigger a signal (wick, close, midpoint, or SWMA).
Confirmation: The "Confirm" input specifies how a signal is confirmed ('Reverse' or 'Touch').
Zones: The number of "Buy Zones" and "Sell Zones" determines the areas on the grid where buy and sell signals can be generated.
When the trigger condition is met within a buy zone and the confirmation criteria are satisfied, a buy signal is generated. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the trigger and confirmation occur within a sell zone.
Secondary Signals
Secondary signals are generated when a regular buy or sell signal contradicts the prevailing sentiment. For example:
A buy signal in a bearish market (Sentiment = 'Short') would be considered a "secondary buy" signal.
A sell signal in a bullish market (Sentiment = 'Long') would be considered a "secondary sell" signal.
These secondary signals are visually represented on the chart using hollow triangles, differentiating them from regular signals (filled triangles).
While they can be interpreted as potential contrarian trade opportunities, secondary signals can also serve other purposes within a grid trading strategy:
Exit Signals: A secondary signal can suggest a potential shift in market sentiment or a weakening trend. This could be a cue to consider exiting an existing position, even if it's currently profitable, to lock in gains before a potential reversal
Risk Management: In a strong trend, secondary signals might offer opportunities for cautious counter-trend trades with controlled risk. These trades could utilize smaller position sizes or tighter stop-losses to manage potential downside if the main trend continues
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): During a prolonged trend, the parabolic curve might generate multiple secondary signals in the opposite direction. These signals could be used to implement a DCA strategy, gradually accumulating a position at potentially favorable prices as the market retraces or consolidates within the larger trend
Secondary signals should be interpreted with caution and considered in conjunction with other technical indicators and market context. They provide additional insights into potential market reversals or consolidation phases within a broader trend, aiding in adapting your grid trading strategy to the evolving market dynamics.
Examples
Trigger=Wick, Confirm=Touch. Signals are generated when the wick touches the next gridline.
Trigger=Close, Confirm=Touch. Signals require the close to touch the next gridline.
Trigger=SWMA, Confirm=Reverse. Signals are triggered when the Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average reverse crosses the next gridline.
🧠THEORY AND RATIONALE 🧠
The innovative approach of the Parabolic Grid Bot can be better understood by first examining the limitations of traditional grid trading strategies and exploring how this indicator addresses them by incorporating principles of market cycles and dynamic price behavior
Traditional Grid Bots: One-Dimensional and Static
Traditional grid bots operate on a simple premise: they divide the price chart into a series of equally spaced horizontal lines, creating a grid of trading zones. These bots excel in ranging markets where prices oscillate within a defined range. Buy and sell orders are placed at these grid levels, aiming to profit from mean reversion as prices bounce between the support and resistance zones.
However, traditional grid bots face challenges in trending markets. As the market moves in one direction, the bot continues to place orders in that direction, leading to a stacking of positions. If the market eventually reverses, these stacked trades can be profitable, amplifying gains. But the risk lies in the potential for the market to continue trending, leaving the trader with a series of losing trades on the wrong side of the market
The Parabolic Grid Bot: Adding Dimensions
The Parabolic Grid Bot addresses the limitations of traditional grid bots by introducing two additional dimensions:
Acceleration (Second Dimension): This parameter introduces a second dimension to the grid, allowing it to tilt upwards or downwards to align with the prevailing market trend. A positive acceleration creates an upward-sloping grid, suitable for uptrends, while a negative acceleration results in a downward-sloping grid, ideal for downtrends. The magnitude of acceleration controls the steepness of the tilt, enabling you to fine-tune the grid's responsiveness to the trend's strength
Curvature (Third Dimension): This parameter adds a third dimension to the grid by introducing a parabolic curve. The curve's shape, ranging from gentle bends to sharp turns, is controlled by the curvature value. This flexibility allows the grid to closely mirror the market's evolving structure, potentially identifying turning points and trend reversals.
Mean Reversion in Trending Markets
Even in trending markets, the Parabolic Grid Bot can help identify opportunities for mean reversion strategies. While the grid may be tilted to reflect the trend, the buy and sell zones can capture short-term price oscillations or consolidations within the broader trend. This allows traders to potentially pinpoint entry and exit points based on temporary pullbacks or reversals.
Visualize and Adapt
The Parabolic Grid Bot acts as a visual aid, enhancing your understanding of market dynamics. It allows you to "see the curve" by adapting the grid to the market's patterns. If the market shows a parabolic shape, like an upward curve followed by a peak and a downward turn (similar to a head and shoulders pattern), adjust the Accel and Curve to match. This highlights potential areas of interest for further analysis.
Beyond Straight Lines: Visualizing Market Cycle
Traditional technical analysis often employs straight lines, such as trend lines and support/resistance levels, to interpret market movements. However, many analysts, including Brian Millard, contend that these lines can be misleading. They propose that what might appear as a straight line could represent just a small part of a larger curve or cycle that's not fully visible on the chart.
Markets are inherently cyclical, marked by phases of expansion, contraction, and reversal. The Parabolic Grid Bot acknowledges this cyclical behavior by offering a dynamic, curved grid that adapts to these shifts. This approach helps traders move beyond the limitations of straight lines and visualize potential support and resistance levels in a way that better reflects the market's true nature
By capturing these cyclical patterns, whether subtle or pronounced, the Parabolic Grid Bot offers a nuanced understanding of market dynamics, potentially leading to more accurate interpretations of price action and informed trading decisions.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER⚠️
This indicator utilizes a parabolic curve fitting approach to visualize potential support and resistance levels. The mathematical formulas employed have been designed with adaptability and scalability in mind, aiming to accommodate various assets and price ranges. While the resulting curves may visually resemble parabolas, it's important to note that they might not strictly adhere to the precise mathematical definition of a parabola.
The indicator's calculations have been tested and generally produce reliable results. However, no guarantees are made regarding their absolute mathematical accuracy. Traders are encouraged to use this tool as part of their broader analysis and decision-making process, combining it with other technical indicators and market context.

Simple Grid Lines VisualizerAbout Grid Bots
A grid bot is a type of trading bot or algorithm that is designed to automatically execute trades within a predefined price range or grid. It is commonly used in markets that exhibit ranging or sideways movement, where prices tend to fluctuate within a specific range without a clear trend.
The grid bot strategy involves placing a series of buy and sell orders at regular intervals within the predefined price range or grid. The bot essentially creates a grid of orders, hence the name. When the price reaches one of these levels, the bot will execute the corresponding trade. For example, if the price reaches a predefined lower level, the bot will buy, and if it reaches a predefined upper level, it will sell.
The purpose of the grid bot strategy is to take advantage of the price oscillations within the range. As the price moves up and down, the bot aims to generate profits by buying at the lower end of the range and selling at the higher end. By repeatedly buying and selling at these predetermined levels, the bot attempts to capture gains from the price fluctuations.
About this Script
Simple Grid Lines Visualizer is designed to assist traders in visualizing and implementing automated price grids on their charts. With just a few inputs, this script generates gridlines based on your specified top price, bottom price, and the number of grids or profit per grid.
How it Works:
Specify Top and Bottom Prices: Start by setting the top and bottom prices that define the range within which the gridlines will be generated. These prices can be based on support and resistance levels, historical data, or any other factors you consider relevant to your analysis.
Determine Grid Parameters: Choose either the number of grids or profit per grid, depending on your preference and trading strategy. If you select the number of grids, the script will evenly distribute the gridlines within the specified price range. Alternatively, if you opt for profit per grid, the script will calculate the price increment required to achieve your desired profit level per grid.
Note that when choosing Profit per Grid , an approximation usually is performed, as all grid lines must be evenly distributed. To achieve that, the script computes the grid distance using the mean price between top and bottom, then computes how many of those complete distances may enter the entire range, and lastly, creates a grid with evenly distributed distances as close as possible to the previously computed.
Customize Styling and Display: Adjust the line color, line style, transparency, and other visual aspects to ensure clear visibility on your charts.
Analyze and Trade: Once the gridlines are plotted on your chart, carefully observe how the market interacts with them. The gridlines can act as reference points for potential support and resistance levels, as well as simple buy/sell orders for a trading bot.
Try to find gridlines that intersect prices as frequently as possible from one to another.
A grid with too many lines will make lots of potential trades, but the amount traded will be minimal (as the total amount invested is divided over the number of grids).
A grid with too few lines will make lots of profits with each trade, but the trades will be less likely to occur (depending on the top/bottom distance).
This tool aims to help visually which grid parameters seem to optimize this problem.
Future versions may include automatic profit computation.
Indicator
[DisDev] D-I-Y Gridbot🟩 This script is a “do-it-yourself” Grid Bot Simulator, used for visualizing support and resistance levels. 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 gridline or below the lower gridline. Unlike the previous version, all grids may be adjusted in real-time by dragging the gridlines up and down to the desired support and resistance levels.
When adding the indicator to a new chart, you must choose six grid levels by clicking on the desired support or resistance price. You can change all of these levels at any time directly on the chart.
