How to Run Two Grids on One Crypto Pair for Better Execution

Most traders launch a single grid per pair, adjust the spread and volume, and expect performance to keep scaling with market activity. In practice, one grid structure captures only one type of order flow. Markets rotate between micro oscillations and large displacement moves, so the execution logic should reflect that.

A layered configuration allows you to run two grids on the same pair within one bot. Each grid targets a different volatility profile and operates independently inside Origami Tech’s grid engine Introduction to Origami Platform.

The first grid is designed to monetize intraday oscillations near the current price. It uses tight spacing and small order sizes to generate frequent fills.

Grid 1: The Scalper

• Spread: 0.1%
• Gap between two orders of the same side: 0.1%
• Orders: 3 buy + 3 sell
• Volume: small (10 USDT per order)g
• 10 orders each side
• Purpose: capture intraday oscillations, generate consistent small fills

Spot:
{
  "execute_price": "ticker() (1 + spread order_pos)",
  "execute_volume": "10 / execute_price",
 "buy_orders_count": "10",
 "sell_orders_count": "10",
 "spread": "0.001"
}

‍

‍Futures One Way Position Mode:
{
"execute_price": "ticker_futures() (1 + spread order_pos)",
"execute_volume": "10 / execute_price",
"buy_orders_count": "10",
"sell_orders_count": "10",
 "spread": "0.001"
}

This grid maintains continuous presence close to the mid price. It recycles capital through small price fluctuations and increases trade count during ranging conditions.

The second grid is positioned further from the current price and is structured to engage during sharp moves and temporary liquidity gaps.

 Grid 2: The “Fat-Finger” Catcher

• Spacing: 2%
• Gap between two orders of the same side: 2%
• 10 orders each side
• Volume: larger - from 100 to 1000 USD
• Purpose: catch the market orders with a big slippage

Spot:
{
 "execute_price": "ticker() (1 + spread order_pos)",
 "execute_volume": "100 * abs(order_pos) / execute_price",
 "buy_orders_count": "10",
 "sell_orders_count": "10",
 "spread": "0.02"
}

‍

Futures One Way Position Mode:
{
  "execute_price": "ticker_futures() (1 + spread order_pos)",
  "execute_volume": "100 * abs(order_pos) / execute_price",
  "buy_orders_count": "10",
  "sell_orders_count": "10",
  "spread": "0.02"
}

In this configuration, order size increases with distance from the mid price. The grid becomes active during aggressive market orders, liquidations, or short-term imbalance in the order book.

Within Origami Tech, both grids are attached to the same bot and recalculated independently by the internal formula interpreter Introduction to Origami Platform. Adjusting one grid does not interrupt the execution logic of the other. This allows capital to be distributed across multiple volatility regimes inside a single trading pair.

Running a single grid concentrates exposure in one structural pattern. Layering grids distributes exposure across different types of price movement while keeping execution unified at the bot level.
