Manually stopping a Pionex Spot Grid Bot does not always mean the remaining coins must be sold. The confirmation screen may let you keep the current base and quote assets or convert the remaining base asset at market. Read the exact option and estimated result before you confirm.
Manual closing choices change the asset outcome
| Choice shown in the confirmation | Typical result | Main check |
|---|---|---|
| Keep the coins or do not sell | Open bot orders are cancelled and the remaining assets return to your available balance | You may receive both base and quote assets |
| Sell at market | The remaining base asset is converted using available market liquidity | Fees, spread and slippage affect the result |
| Automatic Close Bot At | The Spot Grid strategy closes at its configured take-profit condition and sells locked positions | This is not the manual close workflow |
How to review the manual closing screen
- Open the exact running bot and choose its stop or close control.
- Confirm the bot type and trading pair.
- Read whether the screen will keep, buy or sell the remaining asset.
- Review the estimated holdings, fees and market-conversion warning.
- Cancel if the result does not match the assets you want to hold.
Stopping is different from leaving the range
A Spot Grid Bot normally pauses its grid activity when price leaves the selected range. Above the upper limit it normally holds quote currency, while below the lower limit it normally holds the base asset. It can resume if price returns. That range behavior does not itself approve a manual conversion or close the bot.
Automatic exits are separate settings
Pionex documents Taking Profit Price, labelled Close Bot At, and Stop Loss Price as advanced settings that can automatically close Spot Grid and sell positions locked by the strategy. For that specific behavior, read what Close Bot At does.
The current Pionex Grid Trading Bot guide explains the automatic settings. The live confirmation screen remains authoritative for your manual close because product controls and wording can change.
Frequently asked questions
Does manually stopping a Pionex Grid Bot always sell the coins?
No. The closing confirmation may let you keep the remaining assets or convert them. Read the exact choices shown for that bot before approving.
What happens if you keep the coins when closing?
The bot stops and its open orders are cancelled, while the remaining base and quote assets return to your available balance without an extra market conversion.
What happens if you choose to sell the coins?
The bot closes and uses the displayed market conversion option for the remaining base asset. The final amount can differ because of fees, spread and slippage.
Is manual closure the same as Close Bot At?
No. Close Bot At is a separate take-profit condition that Pionex documents as automatically closing Spot Grid and selling its locked positions.
Does leaving the grid range close the bot?
No. A standard Spot Grid Bot normally pauses outside its range and resumes if price returns, unless a separate closing condition is triggered.
Should you release grid profit before stopping the bot?
Check the live closing preview and balance history. Available profit actions can differ by bot state, and closing releases the funds associated with the strategy.
What evidence should you save if closing fails?
Save the pair, bot type, selected closing option, exact message, time and screenshots, then contact Pionex Support through the current app or website.
