📉 From Peak to Pitfall: My Grid Trading Bot's PnL Journey

Over the past year, I’ve been running a grid trading bot — a system designed to automatically buy low and sell high within a defined price range. It started off strong, showing promising results and even reaching a peak cumulative PnL of +$12,908.66 USD as of December 8, 2024.

However, markets are never predictable. As of August 3, 2025, the cumulative PnL has turned negative, now sitting at –$1,769.91 USD.

The sharp decline after the peak highlights the volatility and risk that come with automated trading strategies. While grid bots can be effective in sideways markets, they can suffer significantly in trending or unstable markets.
