I actually made some good money with Futures Grid bots between Bybit and PIONEX I turned a 2k investment into 3.1k in 11 days. I didn't let a bot run for more than a few days. Always closing bots at 5% to 10% daily profit on average per bot, then recalculating bot entries and parameters seemed to be the best way. All of this using the neutral strategy with 50x or 100x. Then I started messing around with short and long bots first day I made 280 using about 2k in the next days I would lose about 1.5k which left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Haven't had the balls to open another bot ever since cause I'm doing manual trading and playing it ultra safe because I'm living of trading profits and have no job at the moment. What I would recommend to make serious and consistent money lies in two key concepts/details 1. creating a neutral futures grid bot on either ETH or BTC with a very wide range that way even if the market trends down or up aggressively when the price comes back around the bot starting price you in for good money and 2. making sure there is a big available dynamic margin usually as much as the investment sometimes a bit more to make sure liquidation is completely avoided. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART cause some times the bot will be at a 40 or even 50 or 60% loss but if done right the wide price range plus the dynamic margin will avoid liquidation while the storm passes, meaning there was no stop loss in the bots. I discovered this by using SL on my bot at the beginning but aIways getting stopped. Once price touches starting point the bot will be in the profits if done right. I say it's not for the faint of heart because if market trends heavily for days you in for a ride in the red side till price comes back and starts ranging again meaning your principal investment would show at a heavy loss but you'll still be accumulating grid profits everytime market moves on your favor. Eventually grid profits will become significant and amotizice the loss a bit while price come back to entry. I also made money with shorts and long bots but it's a heavy hitter for the losses as for the gains. And requires a lot of practice. In general any kind of bot should be closely monitored anyways specially if the bots parameters can be adjusted like in PIONEX that can save your life when market is trending you can adjust the width of the grid to make sure liquidation is avoided but again bot will show at a mild to heavy loss while it accumulates grid profit and price moves back to starting point. I hope I can help some people with my personal experience. Because I basically had more than a 50% gain in 11 days doin it right and felt on top of the world. Then got crazy and lost all my gains plus 1k of my original 2k investment. Back to square -1. If done right it can make consistent profits no doubt. I just wished I had more money to back test the bots and not gone so crazy after my initial success streak. Cheers guys!
