How [3Commas] GRID Bot Nonstop — Geometric Grid works
Rules in this group usually work like this. It places a ladder of buy and sell orders at set distances. It makes a little each time price bounces inside that ladder. If price walks away and does not come back, it is left holding a larger and larger losing bet. Where the ladder was drawn decides the result. The next paragraph is this particular rule, which can be narrower than the group.
It only buys. It does not bet on falling prices. It buys when the close is at or below and the previous close is above . It gets out when the close is at or above and the previous close is below .
Each trade uses a fixed 28.15 of the quote coin. It can stack up to 100 trades in the same direction.
The exact condition, from the code

- It places orders at several prices, like rungs on a ladder. As price walks through the rungs, it holds more.

How the backtest was run
Every strategy was tried the same way, on the settings the author published.
The years are October 2021 to June 2026. The prices are from Bybit, for 13 widely traded coins, mostly on hourly, 4-hour and daily charts, with some faster charts. That was 47,242 tries. The window stored in the files is 2021-09..2026-06.
599 rules produced a finished try. A rule that finished above zero on at least 12 cells, before any fee, was tried again with a fee of 0.12 percent per side. Only buys are counted in that second try. 273 rules got it.
The method, the aggregate results and a downloadable table are on the study page. What the desk does with the results beyond these pages is its own.
This is the second pass. A fee of 0.12 percent per side is taken on the buy and again on the sell. Only buys are counted. If the rule also bets on falling prices, those trades are not in these numbers.
After fees, 24 of 29 cells finished above zero (82.8%). The median of every cell was +4.2%.
0 of the cells cleared a quality check: at least 50 trades, gains that are not one lucky trade, and a drawdown that is real without taking the whole account.
Finished above zero by chart speed: 15-minute chart, 15m 3 of 6; daily chart, 1D 4 of 4; hourly chart, 1h 6 of 6; 30-minute chart, 30m 5 of 6; 4-hour chart, 4h 6 of 6; 5-minute chart, 5m 0 of 1.
Before fees, it sat 8th on a list sorted by average Calmar. That list charges no fee.
| Cells tried after the fee | 29 |
|---|---|
| Finished above zero | 24 (82.8%) |
| Middle result, the median of every cell | +4.2% |
| Middle drawdown, every cell | 0.2% |
| Cells that cleared the quality check | 0 |
| Middle result, over the cells above zero | +5.1% |
| Extra, Calmar on the rows above zero. Result divided by the deepest fall | 0.00 |
| Extra, Sharpe on the rows above zero. Result divided by how bumpy the path was | 0.01 |
| Middle drawdown, the rows above zero | 0.1% |
| Deepest fall, the rows above zero | 4.3% |
| Middle number of trades, the rows above zero | 618 |

How to read the result
How to read the number
The median of every cell is the result of the rule. The author's settings were not changed to help any coin. The weakest and the strongest cells are not a result on their own.
What the number leaves out
The table also shows +5.1%, taken only over the cells that finished above zero. Cells that finished down are left out of that figure, which is why it stands away from the median of every cell. It describes those rows only.
0 of 29 cells cleared a quality check: at least 50 trades, a profit factor that is not one lucky trade, and a drawdown that is real without taking the whole account. Profit factor means the gains divided by the losses. Clearing the check describes this sample. It says nothing about the next set of years.
The count above is also split by chart speed. A speed that finished higher, in these years, is one slice of the same rule. It is not a separate strategy.
A place on the no-fee list is not the result after fees. The middle number above is the one after fees.
What this does not show
The useful question is what it is still holding when price leaves the ladder and does not return. Closed trades do not show that pile.
Nothing on this page was fit to the cell that finished highest. One coin, one chart speed, or one strong stretch is a single row. It is not the rule. Other years, another exchange, or another fee would be a different measurement.
