Risk disclaimer
This calculator provides parametric references, not investment advice; one-sided moves keep grid capital tied up.
How are grid parameters set?
Linear grid spacing = (upper − lower) ÷ grids; the spacing % relative to the range midpoint shows the per-grid move required.
With total capital, per-grid allocation = capital ÷ grids (unfilled sell legs need extra buffer in practice).
How to use
- Enter the lower/upper range and the grid count.
- Optionally enter total capital for per-grid allocation (blank hides it).
- Click Calculate to see spacing, spacing % and per-grid amount.
Formula
- Spacing = (Upper − Lower) ÷ Grids
- Spacing % = Spacing ÷ Midpoint × 100
- Per Grid = Capital ÷ Grids
Example
Range 100–200, 10 grids, capital 1,000 → spacing 10, ≈6.67%, per grid 100.
More grids mean tighter spacing, best suited to low-volatility ranges.
FAQ
Why spacing %?
It shows the price move % that triggers a grid, a quick check of fit to volatility.
Is per-grid allocation exact?
It is a simple split; real grids also reserve capital for sell-side orders, so keep a buffer.
Can these calculations be executed automatically?
Yes. Work out the parameters and risk limits here first, then hand the same rules to a quant system such as CubeQuants so you don't have to place orders manually. Fills still depend on your exchange, so verify with a small size first.
