MidasCalculators for grid and DCA bots by platform: which field is which
The 8 platforms here (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Pionex, 3Commas, Veles, KuCoin, Bitget) ask for the same numbers under different names, and they fit 3 free calculators: a spot grid (lower and upper price, number of grids, investment, fee) goes into the spot grid profit calculator, a DCA or martingale bot (base order, safety orders, price deviation, take profit) into the DCA bot calculator, and a futures grid with leverage into the grid bot risk calculator.

Which field of the calculator is which
The three calculators take these fields; the right column is how a bot setup screen usually words the same thing.
| Calculator and field | Usual wording on a bot setup screen |
|---|---|
Spot grid profit calculator: lower / upper | Lower and upper price, price range, lower / upper limit |
Spot grid profit calculator: grids | Number of grids, grid quantity |
Spot grid profit calculator: type | Arithmetic / geometric grid mode |
Spot grid profit calculator: invest, fee | Investment, total amount; fee: the trading fee rate of your own account |
DCA bot calculator: base, safety | Base (first, initial) order size; safety order (add-on) size |
DCA bot calculator: maxso | Max safety orders, number of add-ons |
DCA bot calculator: dev, stepscale | Price deviation (price drop to add); step scale (multiplier of the gap to the next order) |
DCA bot calculator: volscale, tp | Volume scale (multiplier of the next order size); take profit |
Grid bot risk calculator: leverage, mmr | Leverage; maintenance margin rate of futures (stop-out level on MT4/MT5) |
Grid bot risk calculator: size, vmult, orders | First order size; volume multiplier; number of orders |
Grid bot risk calculator: gap, gapscale | Step between orders (% or price); step scale |
A page for every platform and asset
The same calculators, set up for one platform or one asset: the wording of the settings, example links and the arithmetic of the range. No platform limits or fees, no price history.

Wording by platform
Each row gives the wording to look for and three links that open a calculator with illustrative numbers (not a recommendation, not the platform’s limits or fees).
| Platform | Spot grid bot | DCA / martingale bot | Ready links |
|---|---|---|---|
| Binance | Price range (lower / upper limit), number of grids, arithmetic / geometric, investment | Martingale / DCA bot, where the app has one: first order, price drop to add, add-on multiplier, number of add-ons, take profit | Spot grid profit · DCA bot · Grid bot risk |
| Bybit | Price range (lower / upper limit), number of grids, arithmetic / geometric, investment | Martingale / DCA bot, where the app has one: first order, price drop to add, add-on multiplier, number of add-ons, take profit | Spot grid profit · DCA bot · Grid bot risk |
| OKX | Price range (lower / upper limit), number of grids, arithmetic / geometric, investment | Martingale / DCA bot, where the app has one: first order, price drop to add, add-on multiplier, number of add-ons, take profit | Spot grid profit · DCA bot · Grid bot risk |
| Pionex | Price range (lower / upper limit), number of grids, arithmetic / geometric, investment | Martingale / DCA bot, where the app has one: first order, price drop to add, add-on multiplier, number of add-ons, take profit | Spot grid profit · DCA bot · Grid bot risk |
| 3Commas | Grid bot: lower price, upper price, number of grids (levels), investment | DCA bot: base order size, safety order size, max safety orders, price deviation to open safety orders, safety order step scale, safety order volume scale, take profit | Spot grid profit · DCA bot · Grid bot risk |
| Veles | Cycle (averaging) bots rather than a classic spot grid: use the DCA bot and grid bot risk calculators | Orders (count), overlap (% of price the orders cover), martingale (% growth of the next order), indent, take profit | Spot grid profit · DCA bot · Grid bot risk |
| KuCoin | Price range (lower / upper limit), number of grids, arithmetic / geometric, investment | Martingale / DCA bot, where the app has one: first order, price drop to add, add-on multiplier, number of add-ons, take profit | Spot grid profit · DCA bot · Grid bot risk |

The fee in the links is a placeholder of 0.1 %: replace it with the rate of your own account. Leverage, margin rules and fees are set by each platform and can change; this site does not list them.
Frequently asked questions
Which calculator fits my bot?
A bot that places buy and sell orders across a price range on spot: the spot grid profit calculator. A bot that adds to a position as the price falls (base order, safety orders): the DCA bot calculator. Futures with leverage, or a grid that averages down: the grid bot risk calculator.
Does the page show the fees and limits of each platform?
No. Fees, minimum amounts and leverage depend on the platform and the account and change over time, so you enter them yourself from the platform’s own pages.
Are these platforms partners of Midas Grid?
No. The names are used only to describe the wording of their settings. Midas Grid is a separate product: a grid Expert Advisor for gold on MT5.
About this calculator
Grid and DCA bots on different platforms ask for the same numbers under different names. This page lists the usual wording for eight platforms, the field of the free calculators it matches, and links that open the calculator with example numbers; you type your own settings in.
Midas runs the same calculation in its panel on the MT5 chart.The Grid tab shows the room to stop-out for your account and settings.
