Grid bot on 3Commas during the ranging market, honest results
Grid bots are theoretically perfect for sideways markets. Theory and practice do not always match. Wanted to share what actually happened when I ran one during a proper ranging period.
Results after six weeks of ranging BTC:
- Grid bot performed as advertised in genuine sideways action
- The edges are where it struggles, when price approaches the top or bottom of the configured range, the strategy starts underperforming
- The configuration of the range bounds matters enormously and took me two resets to get right
The video covers the different configuration approaches for different market conditions which I would recommend watching before you set bounds rather than after like I did.
Have you run grid bots successfully on 3Commas? Would love to know what range settings people find most reliable.
