Crypto Grid Bot Profit With $1,000: One Grid Cycle Leaves About $0.30 After Fees

A spot grid places buy orders below the current price and sell orders above it. Each time price falls to a buy level and then rises back to the matching sell level, one slice completes a cycle and the bot records grid profit. Exchanges charge their normal spot trading fee on each filled order; Bybit's Spot Grid FAQ says there is no separate fee to create the bot.

Grid profit counts only completed cycles. Total P&L also counts the coins the bot is holding at today's price, plus fees. If price falls and stays down, the bot holds coins worth less than it paid, so total P&L can be negative while grid profit is positive. If price trends out of the range, the bot can end up holding mostly one asset and stop completing new cycles.

The two fees, $0.2005, are about 40% of the $0.50 gross. A grid spacing at or below about 0.2% would leave nothing at a 0.10% rate before spread is even counted, because every cycle pays two fills.

Worth evaluating only when you expect price to move back and forth inside a range you can defend, the grid spacing is clearly wider than two fills of your actual fee plus spread, the exact bot product is available to your account in your country, and you accept holding the coin if price falls.

Skip it if your view is that price will trend one way, the grid is too tight to cover fees, or holding a falling coin (inventory risk) is not something you understand and accept.
