Why trailing up doesn't move the grid?
Trailing Up shifts the grid upwards automatically as the price rises, keeping your bot trading in upward trends. However, in some cases, the grid might stop moving or temporarily pause. Here’s why:
In this guide, you’ll find:
1. Exchange Trading Rules (Permanent)
The bot uses a fixed quote currency amount per order. As the price rises:
- The amount of base currency the bot can purchase decreases.
- Eventually, the base currency amount falls below the exchange’s minimum order size, halting grid movement.
Your Options:
- Wait for the price to drop back into the current grid.
- Stop the bot and create a new one with updated settings.
2. Unfilled Buy Orders (Temporary)
If the price surpasses the upper grid limit:
- The last sell order is filled, and the bot runs out of base currency to sell.
- The bot will wait for the price to drop, triggering new buy orders.
This process is normal. Once buy orders are filled, the grid will automatically reset and shift upwards.
3. Pump Protection (Temporary)
During a rapid price spike:
- The Pump Protection feature pauses trailing up to prevent costly purchases at inflated prices.
- Your bot shows a Pump Protection status until the market stabilizes.
Though it might seem like a missed opportunity, sharp price spikes often correct, which can leave your account with the coins purchased at a costly price.
