Spot Grid Calculator
Direct answer
The Spot Grid Calculator returns per-round net profit and an annualized estimate, and also models equal-capital arithmetic buys to show the total coins, average cost and the floating loss at the range's lower bound.
The Spot Grid Calculator adds the questions that matter for spot: how many coins will I hold when fully filled, and what is my average cost? Besides per-round net and annualized estimates, it returns total coins, average cost and floating loss at the lower bound.
Spot grids have no liquidation, but they gradually convert capital into coins — knowing your fully-filled cost line shows how deep the drawdown can go and how hard recovery is.

Key data & facts
- Capital per grid
- capital ÷ gridsAssumes equal capital per arithmetic level
- Total coins when fully filled
- Coins = Σ(capital per grid ÷ buy level price)
- Average cost
- AvgCost = Capital ÷ CoinsNear the mean of buy levels with equal capital
- Example
- 2500–3500, 50 grids, 1000 USDT~0.36 ETH fully filled; ~16% floating loss at 2500
What is the Spot Grid Calculator?
Spot grids do not amplify notional; the risk concentrates in holding coins — declines buy you more coins while shrinking their total value.
This tool shows returns (net/annualized) and holding cost (coins/average cost/lower-bound loss) on one page for a complete evaluation.
How to use it
- Enter range, grid count, capital, one-side fee and days per round.
- Click Calculate and first read net per round and annualized.
- Then check total coins and average cost when fully filled.
- Finally check the floating loss at the lower bound to confirm you can take it.
Formulas
Coins = Σ( capital per grid ÷ buy level price ) AvgCost = Capital ÷ Coins
Worked example
Range 2500–3500, 50 grids, 1000 USDT: 20 USDT per grid yields about 0.36 ETH in total coins when fully filled, at an average cost near the range mid-point of about 2990 USDT.
At 2500 (lower bound) the floating loss is roughly 16% of cost; if price keeps falling, the spot grid can only wait for recovery.
Practical tips
- Treat coin-holding risk as the inherent cost of a spot grid. Grids earn from oscillation; the price is a temporarily full position during one-way declines.
- Average cost is the anchor of recovery. Floating loss does not clear until price returns to average cost, so design ranges around prices you are willing to hold.
FAQ
Can a spot grid be liquidated?
No — spot has no forced liquidation. But once all capital is coins, further declines shrink the portfolio's value: an opportunity cost of being long, not a liquidation.
Why is the average cost near the range middle?
With equal capital and arithmetic levels, fully-filled cost equals the mean of buy levels, close to the range mid-point. That is the natural result of a spot grid.
Which markets suit a spot grid?
Range-bound markets where you are happy to hold the coin long-term. One-way rallies favor simply holding; deep declines mean accepting loss and waiting.
