How LINK Grid Bot — Long Strategy 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 previous close is above and the close is at or below . It gets out when the previous close is below and the close is at or above .
Each trade uses a fixed 278 of the quote coin. It can stack up to 200 trades in the same direction.
The exact condition, from the code
Same rule, translated from the code, in the author's names. You can skip this list if the paragraph above was enough.

- 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.
Before any fee, it was tried on 69 cells. It placed a trade on 5 of them. 5 of the cells that traded finished above zero (100.0%).
It was not run a second time with a fee. That second pass happens only when at least 12 cells finished above zero before fees. 273 rules got that pass.
Before fees, it sat 17th on a list sorted by average Calmar. That list charges no fee.
| Cells tried | 69 |
|---|---|
| Cells that placed a trade | 5 |
| Finished above zero | 5 (100.0% of the cells that traded) |
| Middle result, before fees | +20.3% |
| Strongest cell, the top of the range | AVAX 4-hour: +21.7% |
| Weakest cell, the bottom of the range | AVAX daily: +17.3% |
| Middle drawdown, before fees | 29.6% |

How to read the result
How to read the number
The median of every cell that traded is the result. No fee has been taken off, so the number is a ceiling. A fee comes off each trade, and this page does not guess that cost, because this rule did not get the second pass where the fee is applied. The weakest and the strongest cells are not a result on their own.
The middle drawdown, on the cells that traded, was 29.6%.
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.
