How to Adjust the Grid Range on a Bybit Bot?

Accessing the Grid Strategy Management Interface

1. Log in to your Bybit account using verified credentials. Ensure two-factor authentication is active before proceeding.

2. Navigate to the Trade section from the main navigation bar. Select Spot or USDT Perpetual, depending on the asset class used by your bot.

3. Click the Automated Trading tab, then locate and select Grid Bot from the strategy list.

4. On the Grid Bot dashboard, switch to the Active Bots tab to view all running instances.

5. Identify the specific bot requiring range adjustment by checking its trading pair, status, and last updated timestamp.

Modifying Upper and Lower Price Bounds

1. Locate the Edit Range icon—typically a pencil symbol—next to the current price range display for the selected bot.

2. Click the icon to open the price range configuration panel. This panel shows editable fields for both Upper Bound and Lower Bound.

3. Enter new values ensuring the upper bound exceeds the lower bound by at least three times the 14-period ATR value of the underlying pair.

4. Confirm that neither boundary falls within the current 5-minute price volatility envelope, as this may trigger premature order execution or cancellation.

5. Press Confirm Update. The system will validate input integrity and apply changes without interrupting ongoing grid cycles.

Selecting Appropriate Grid Density

1. After adjusting boundaries, revisit the Grid Count parameter. For BTC/USDT in a 30-day consolidation phase, values between 25 and 45 produce optimal fill rates.

2. Avoid setting grid count above 100 unless operating on high-liquidity pairs with sub-0.05% slippage profiles across all tiers.

3. If using an equal-percentage spacing model, verify that the percentage increment remains consistent across the entire range—no manual overrides permitted.

4. Cross-check total allocated capital against the revised grid structure to ensure no single order exceeds 3% of available balance.

5. Save density settings before exiting the configuration panel. Unsaved modifications will not persist beyond session timeout.

Validating Execution Integrity Post-Adjustment

1. Immediately after confirmation, review the Order Book Sync Status indicator beside the bot name. A green checkmark confirms full synchronization with Bybit’s matching engine.

2. Inspect the Recent Orders log for timestamps showing entries dated after the update time. Missing logs indicate delayed propagation.

3. Manually trigger a simulated price move by placing a test market order outside the new range and observe whether the bot adjusts pending orders accordingly.

4. Monitor the Unfilled Orders counter over a 15-minute window. A stable count below five suggests correct parameter absorption.

5. Verify that the Profit/Loss Snapshot reflects recalculated unrealized PnL based on updated grid positions rather than legacy parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I adjust the grid range while the bot holds open positions?Yes. Bybit allows live range modification regardless of active position status. Existing orders remain untouched; only future order placement adheres to the new boundaries.

Q: Does changing the grid range reset historical performance metrics?No. All performance data—including realized PnL, win rate, and average holding time—remains intact and cumulative across parameter revisions.

Q: What happens if the new upper bound is lower than the current market price?The system rejects the submission and displays an error indicating violation of minimum buffer requirements. No partial updates occur.

Q: Is there a cooldown period before subsequent range adjustments?No cooldown applies. Users may modify ranges as frequently as needed, though excessive changes within one hour may trigger rate-limiting warnings.
