MidasBTC grid bot settings: range, grids, step and calculator links
Example: an arithmetic spot grid on BTC/USDT from 60,000 to 100,000 with 20 grids, $1,000 and a 0.1% fee per trade has a step of 3.33% at the bottom and 2.04% at the top, and nets 1.84% to 3.13% of the grid's money per buy-and-sell cycle; if price falls to 60,000 with every grid bought, the position is at −22.4%. The price levels are illustrative, not the current price or a forecast.

How a grid for BTC/USDT is set up and what the settings cost: the range, the number of grids and the step, with the arithmetic of fees and of the position below the range, and links that open the calculators with example numbers. The price levels are illustrative: they are not the current price and not a forecast, and the page has no price history.
Example: BTC from 60 000 to 100 000
An arithmetic spot grid on BTC/USDT with $1 000 and a 0.1 % fee per trade. More grids mean a smaller step and a smaller net profit per cycle; once the step is near 2 × the fee a cycle earns almost nothing. The last column is the result if the price falls to the lower limit and all grids have bought.
| Grids | Step, bottom | Step, top | Net per cycle, bottom | Net per cycle, top | At the lower limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 6.67% | 4.17% | 6.46% | 3.96% | −21.3% |
| 20 | 3.33% | 2.04% | 3.13% | 1.84% | −22.4% |
| 40 | 1.67% | 1.01% | 1.46% | 0.81% | −22.9% |
| 80 | 0.83% | 0.50% | 0.63% | 0.30% | −23.1% |

About the market
Crypto trades around the clock, every day, so a grid keeps working at weekends and has no weekend gap; the price can still jump within minutes. Spot grids have no liquidation, futures grids do.
Frequently asked questions
Which range should a BTC grid use?
There is no right range in general: the wider it is, the fewer grids fit before the step gets small, and the deeper the loss if the price leaves it downwards. The tables above show these trade-offs as arithmetic; the range itself is your decision.
Does this page use the price history of BTC?
No. It has no historical statistics: only arithmetic of the settings and illustrative price levels that are not the current price and not a forecast.
Can a grid on BTC lose the whole deposit?
Yes. A spot grid holds the asset at a loss when the price keeps falling; with leverage a stop-out or liquidation can close the position and take the deposit. The calculators show where that happens for the settings you enter.
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.
