What problem does it solve?

Automates mechanical Coinbase Exchange grid trading so you can earn from price oscillation without manually placing and rebalancing buy/sell orders.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dry-run simulation on invoke to immediately show what the grid would do before any live trading.
  • Automated grid order management to place missing post-only maker orders within a configured price range and risk limits.
  • Safety guardrails and persistence including stop-loss enforcement, dry-run vs live opt-in, and best-effort SerenDB/MCP-native logging.

Quick Start

Invoke the skill to run a dry-run grid simulation and display the full dry-run results for your configured config.json (and only proceed to live trading after reviewing them).

Frequently Asked Questions about grid-trader

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Coinbase grid trading without manually placing buy and sell orders?▼

Automated Coinbase grid trading executes a mechanical workflow that places buy and sell orders within a configured price range. It uses a deterministic script to manage rule-based, non-directional trading, eliminating manual order rebalancing.

Can I simulate grid trading strategies on Coinbase before risking real funds?▼

Yes, you can run a grid trading dry-run simulation upon invocation. This immediately displays projected order placements and workflow results for your configuration, allowing you to validate mechanical trading rules before enabling live execution.

How does grid trading bot automation handle risk management and stop-loss protection?▼

Grid trading bot automation enforces risk management through configured stop-loss protection and strict risk limits. Safety guardrails ensure automated order placement respects your boundaries, operating only with explicit live opt-in authorization.

How is trading event data logged for post-trade analysis in automated grid bots?▼

Trading event data is logged through best-effort SerenDB persistence and JSONL logging. This captures workflow events and order execution details, providing a durable record for post-trade analysis and system auditing.

What do I need to set up before running a Coinbase grid trading bot?▼

You need valid Coinbase Exchange credentials and a configured price range for your desired trading pair. The workflow validates both credential authentication and trading pair availability before executing any grid operations.

When should I avoid using mechanical grid trading strategies?▼

You should avoid mechanical grid trading in strongly trending markets where prices move directionally outside your configured range. Grid trading is designed for non-directional price oscillation scenarios, and stop-loss triggers may activate during sustained breakouts.
