Starter Grid
A gentle first system: spot, no leverage, no liquidation risk. A small grid with frequent small take-profits.
What it is designed for
Designed as a safe first step in a calm, ranging market. Spot-only means no liquidation, but drawdown is still possible.
How this system is built
The exact configuration you get when you take it into the builder — nothing hidden behind registration.
| Market type (Spot / Futures) | Spot |
| Trade direction (Long / Short) | Long |
| Leverage | 1× |
| Deposit | $100 |
| Number of grid orders | 8 |
| Step / indent between orders | 1.5% |
| Martingale | 20% |
| First order volume | 3% |
| Active orders in the book | 3 |
| Take-profit | 1% |
| Take-profit mode | After each order |
| Stop-loss, % | 15% |
The physics of this system
Numbers below are derived from this configuration by the same modules the live engine uses — grid geometry, the fee model and the engine-specific economics. Nothing here is an estimate of profit: these are the distances, sizes and thresholds the system will actually work with.
| Reference deposit | $100 |
| Market | Spot |
| Leverage | 1× |
| Notional at full leverage | $100 |
A $100 deposit at 1× leverage opens up to $100 of notional on spot.
Economics of one cycle
| Round-trip feeentry counted as taker · exit maker | 0.25 % |
| Take-profit per cycle | 1.00 % |
| Target covers the fee | 4.0× the round trip |
One round trip costs 0.250 % of turnover, and the cycle aims at 1.000 % — 4.0× the fee it has to pay.
A template has no exchange account attached, so rates are the platform fallback — the worst account measured across supported exchanges. A real account is usually cheaper, which moves every ratio below in your favour.
The ladder this system places
Every level is expressed as a distance from the first order, so the numbers hold at any price. Exchange minimums and lot steps are applied at deployment against the live instrument.
| Level | From entry | Order | In position | Average moves to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +0.00 % | $3.00 | $3.00 | +0.00 % |
| 2 | −1.50 % | $3.60 | $6.60 | −0.82 % |
| 3 | −3.00 % | $4.32 | $10.92 | −1.70 % |
| 4 | −4.50 % | $5.18 | $16.10 | −2.62 % |
| 5 | −6.00 % | $6.22 | $22.32 | −3.58 % |
| 6 | −7.50 % | $7.46 | $29.79 | −4.60 % |
| 7 | −9.00 % | $8.96 | $38.75 | −5.65 % |
| 8 | −10.50 % | $10.75 | $49.50 | −6.75 % |
| Ladder span | 12.00 % |
| Average at full fill | −6.75 % |
| Take-profit from average | +1.00 % |
| Stop from average | −15.00 % |
The ladder of 8 levels reaches 12.00 % away from the first order. Filled completely it moves the average by 6.75 %, and the take-profit then sits 1.00 % from that average.
No liquidation price: spot, or leverage of 1.
What proves it
This system runs on a real backtest over historical candles: open the catalogue to run it, or take the system and validate it in the Test Lab before any real money.
All metrics are a backtest on real 30-day candles. Past performance does not guarantee future results — start small and in demo.
