Unlike traditional grid bots that size trades based on total portfolio value, this bot:
- Sizes trades in ETH (not USDT portfolio percentage)
- Compounds 80% of profits into next trades
- Keeps 20% as buffer (safety + realized gains)
- Grows exponentially through profit reinvestment
Result: Clean, predictable compounding that's not affected by price fluctuations.
- Base trade size: 10% of USDT balance
- 80% of each profit → reinvested in next buy
- 20% of each profit → USDT buffer
- Buy budget grows exponentially with profits
- Sell size = last buy amount (perfect pairing)
- Buy trigger: -1.0% (catch dips)
- Sell trigger: +1.5% (maximize profits)
- 50% more profit per sell vs symmetric grids
- No investment input needed
- Bot detects current ETH + USDT balances
- Calculates base size automatically
- Validates 50/50 balance (warns if imbalanced)
- Trade alerts (buy/sell with profit)
- Bot halt alerts (insufficient funds)
- Error notifications
- Daily summaries at 8:00 AM
- Startup confirmation
- Zero hardcoded credentials
- No config files with secrets
- All input via password prompts (hidden)
- Everything stored in memory only
- Secure by design
Starting Balance: 0.26 ETH + $492 USDT @ $1,915/ETH
Trade 1: SELL 0.0261 ETH @ $1,944 (+1.5%)
→ Revenue: $50.74
→ Profit: $0.75
→ 80% reinvested: $0.60
→ Buy budget: $49.22 + $0.60 = $49.82
Trade 2-5: Price keeps rising, 4 more sells
→ Profits accumulate: $12.01 total
→ 80% reinvested: $9.61
→ Buy budget: $49.22 + $9.61 = $58.83
Trade 6: BUY with $58.83 @ $2,050 (-1%)
→ Get: 0.0287 ETH (more than initial 0.0261!)
→ Reset buy budget to $49.22
Trade 7: SELL 0.0287 ETH @ $2,087 (+1.5%)
→ Profit: $1.04
→ Next buy: $49.22 + $0.83 = $50.05
