I've always thought that running a grid strategy on spot trading is one of the more stable plays in this market.

The reason is simple: it's not like futures, where one wick can liquidate you instantly. It's also not like chasing pumps and dumps, where you're making decisions based on emotions every day.

Grid trading is more like putting all those chaotic impulses of yours in a cage first. Sell a bit when it goes up, buy a bit when it goes down. You don't need to constantly convince yourself that you're a chosen trader. You don't need to go all-in on a whim either.

Of course, stable doesn't mean invincible. During a one-sided crash, you can still get stuck holding bags. During a one-sided rally, you might miss the moon.

What it's really best for is the kind of market action that bounces around, pulling back and forth repeatedly.

Grid spot trading isn't the most profitable. But for most ordinary people, it's probably the way least likely to blow yourself up.
