⚖️ Case 3: User Starts With Both Base and Quote Assets

Example: User Has Both XRP (Base) and USDT (Quote)

Scenario: The user starts with both XRP and USDT balances. The bot can therefore place buy and sell orders simultaneously, capturing profits in both directions as price fluctuates within the chosen range.


📘 Overview

This configuration represents the ideal setup for grid trading. Because the user holds both assets, the bot can place buy grids below and sell grids above the current market price — generating profit regardless of short-term direction.


⚙️ Initial Setup

Parameter
Description

Market Price

2.5 USDT / XRP

Grid Range

2.0 – 3.0 USDT

Total Grids

8

User Balance

XRP + USDT (both available)


🧩 Step 1 — Grid Allocation

The bot divides the 2.0 – 3.0 range into 8 equal levels.

  • Levels below 2.5 USDTBuy orders (use USDT to buy XRP)

  • Levels above 2.5 USDTSell orders (use XRP to sell for USDT)

→ Active grids: 4 buy orders below and 4 sell orders above the current price.


When the price rises:

  1. One or more sell orders are triggered.

  2. The bot converts XRP → USDT at those levels.

  3. For each filled sell, a buy-back order is placed 2 % below that sell price.

Example

Action
Level (USDT)
Next Order (± 2 %)

Sell XRP

2.625

Buy back at 2.5725

Sell XRP

2.750

Buy back at 2.695

✅ If price retraces later, these buy-backs refill XRP and lock in profit.


When the price drops:

  1. One or more buy orders are triggered.

  2. The bot purchases XRP with USDT at those levels.

  3. For each buy, a take-profit sell order is set 2 % above that buy price.

Example

Action
Level (USDT)
Next Order (± 2 %)

Buy XRP

2.375

Sell at 2.4225

Buy XRP

2.250

Sell at 2.295

✅ If price rebounds, the TP sells realize profit and restore grid balance.


As long as price remains within 2.0 – 3.0 USDT, the bot simultaneously:

  • Executes buy → TP sell cycles on lower grids.

  • Executes sell → buy-back cycles on upper grids.

  • Re-places each order at its original level after completion.

Each grid level operates independently, allowing multiple overlapping profit loops.

💡 Result: Continuous, market-neutral profit generation.


If price falls below the lower limit:

  • All buy orders likely filled.

  • Each has a pending TP sell above.

  • If price keeps dropping without recovery:

    • The bot triggers Safety Exit — sells all XRP at market.

    • Realized loss is booked.

    • Trading halts.

🚨 Outcome: Loss contained and bot stops safely.


If price breaks above the upper limit:

  • All sell orders execute successfully.

  • All XRP converted to USDT.

  • Bot halts (trading range broken).

  • Result: Realized profit from completed grids.

💡 Key Takeaways

  • Holding both assets allows full-spectrum profit (up & down moves).

  • Each grid is autonomous with its own cycle logic.

  • Dual liquidity ensures continuous operation in all market directions.

  • Safety exit still protects capital on extreme breakdowns.

  • The bot halts automatically once price exits the defined range.
