Long Adaptive Range Bot
The Long Adaptive Range Bot is a strategic grid bot designed for bullish markets. It shares many similarities with the Booster Bot but offers a more controlled approach to managing your investment as the market trends upwards.
When to Use It?
This bot is ideal for uptrending markets. You should use it when you are bullish on an asset and want to capture profits from its upward momentum, but prefer to maintain a fixed level of capital exposure without automatically increasing your investment as the price rises.
How It Works
This bot uses a grid trading strategy to buy low and sell high within a defined range. Its key feature is how it intelligently manages its investment when the market is trending strongly.
Initial Grid: The bot starts by placing a grid of buy and sell orders, aiming to profit from volatility. Like the Booster Bot, it will buy dips using a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) approach.
Fixed Investment Trailing: When the price moves up and out of the initial grid, the bot's "Trailing Up" feature activates. It moves the entire grid range higher to follow the trend.
The Key Difference: Unlike the Booster Bot, the Long Adaptive Range Bot operates with a fixed investment amount. To fund new orders in the higher range, it sells the assets from the bottom of the old range. This means it recycles its capital, and your total invested amount remains constant.
Key Advantages
Controlled Exposure: Your total investment in the bot does not increase during a rally, helping you manage your risk and capital allocation precisely.
Capital Efficiency: The bot continuously re-uses its initial pool of capital to trade in new, higher price ranges.
Fully Automated: It automates the complex process of grid trading, buying the dip, and following a trend.
Potential Drawbacks
Less Aggressive in Rallies: Because it works with a fixed investment, it may generate less profit than the Booster Bot during a very strong and sustained bull run.
Downturn Risk: Similar to other long strategies, if the market trend suddenly reverses, the bot may be left holding assets that are decreasing in value (unrealized loss).
Example Scenario
Imagine you start a Long Adaptive Range Bot on ETH at $3,000 with a fixed investment of $2,000. Your bot sets up a grid to trade between $2,800 and $3,200.
The price of ETH rallies to $3,400, moving above your grid's upper limit.
The "Trailing Up" feature activates, moving the grid to a new, higher range of $3,000 to $3,400.
To fund the new buy orders in this higher range, the bot automatically sells the ETH it was holding at the bottom of its old range (e.g., positions bought at $2,800 and $2,850).
The capital from these sales is then used for the new grid. Your total invested capital remains constant at $2,000, but your bot is now actively trading at the new, higher price level.
Configuration
When setting up this bot, you will define your initial Investment amount. You can then use the Customize toggle to access advanced settings like Grid Step and Trailing Up to fine-tune the bot's behavior to your exact specifications.
