Volatility grid bot
A Volatility grid spaces its lines a multiple of the ATR (the average range of one candle) apart.
More
When the market gets wild the grid is laid wider, when it calms it is laid tighter, and it moves its range with the price.
When to use it
When you want a grid but don't want to guess the right range: the market's own movement sets the spacing.
Settings
Every bot trades in your own Hyperliquid account. In the setup you pick the market, the amount and the leverage; Safe, Balanced and Aggressive fill in the rest from the coin's own volatility, and Customize settings opens every setting below. Rivemont's fee is from 0.1% per fill, lower with your 30-day volume, plus Hyperliquid's own trading fee.
- Direction
- Neutral starts with no position; Long starts holding coins to sell higher; Short starts short to buy back lower.
- Chart
- The candles the ATR is measured on. A longer chart gives steadier, wider lines.
- Step
- The gap between two lines, in ATRs. Higher: fewer, larger trades; lower: more, smaller trades. The lines never sit closer than 1.5 round trips' fees.
- Lines
- How many orders (4 to 200): the range is this many steps, centred on the price.
- ATR
- Candles the ATR is averaged over (2 to 200). Fewer react faster.
- Pause on a volatility spike / Spike at
- While the ATR is above this many times its average of the last 48 candles, it opens no new grid positions; orders that close positions stay.
- TP / SL
- Optional: close everything and stop once the grid has made, or lost, this share of its amount.
Example
BTC at $100,000 with a 4-hour ATR of $1,200, step 0.75 ATR, 12 lines, $1,200: the lines are $900 apart, the range about $94,600 to $105,400, each order about $100. If the ATR doubles, the next grid it lays is twice as wide.
What can go wrong
It is still a grid.
A long trend leaves it holding the losing side until it moves its range.A spike pause can miss a rebound
: it opens nothing new while volatility is far above normal.
