Introduction to Grid Trading Strategy
Grid trading is an automated strategy that executes buy-low-sell-high orders within a predefined price range. By setting upper and lower price limits and determining grid numbers, the system automatically places orders to capitalize on market fluctuations. OKX offers both manual trading and strategy trading modes, with spot grid being a popular choice for systematic traders.
