About¶
The flash crash bot is a grid trading strategy implementation. It works by creating a buying and selling grid and executing orders as price moves through the grid levels. This strategy is designed for sideways markets with significant price fluctuations. Its weakness is trending markets where price may move through the entire grid in one direction.
This bot only works on spot markets and cannot be applied to leverage/margin markets.
Strategy Behavior¶
The execution behavior of this strategy depends on price movements. This strategy is designed for ranging or oscillating markets. Trending markets may result in one-sided order execution and unrealized positions.
Script Settings¶

The number of sell orders controls how many sell orders will be created in the grid (typically 3, 5, 10, or 20)
