Set the lower and upper limits of a Pionex Grid Bot to define the two prices around which it operates, then choose how many grid levels sit inside that range. A Grid Bot divides capital across orders; it does not automatically trade the full balance at each boundary.
How the range is funded
| Part of range | Asset reserved |
|---|---|
| Below current price | Quote currency for future buys |
| Above current price | Base coin for future sells |
| Outside range | Normal grid execution pauses |
Why two values still need order sizing
The lower and upper limits define price boundaries. Grid count defines the number of intervals. Investment, price precision and minimum order rules determine how much each order can use. A very narrow range can create frequent trades but also increases breakout and fee sensitivity.
Setup checklist
- Choose a liquid pair.
- Set lower and upper limits from a documented thesis.
- Choose arithmetic or geometric spacing.
- Review grid count and net profit per grid.
- Inspect the initial base and quote allocation.
- Set risk and exit controls.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Pionex Grid Bot trade between two chosen prices?
Yes. Set the lower and upper limits to define the operating range, then choose the grid count within that range.
Does using two grid levels make the bot trade the full balance each time?
No. Order size follows the bot’s allocation, range, grid count and minimum requirements. It does not automatically rotate the entire balance.
What happens when price reaches the upper limit?
The bot can have sold most or all allocated base coin and pauses normal grid execution above the range.
What happens at the lower limit?
The bot can become mostly or fully invested in the base asset and pauses normal grid execution below the range.
Why does the bot hold both assets?
It needs quote currency for buy orders below market and base coin for sell orders above market.
What if you only want one buy and one sell?
Smart Trade Limit mode can be clearer for a single planned entry with take-profit and stop-loss settings.
What should you compare before using a narrow range?
Compare fees, spread, price precision, profit per grid, breakout risk, asset allocation, minimum investment and closing behavior.
A narrow range can be left quickly and does not guarantee repeated profitable cycles.
