Strategy Details

Core Strategy

• Type: Long-only grid trading
• Asset: ASTER perpetual futures
• Leverage: 5x
• Grid Spacing: 0.5% between levels
• Grid Levels: 40 levels per side (below center)
• Take Profit: 8% gain threshold
• Execution: Every 5 minutes

Key Features

• Intelligent Grid Placement: Places buy orders at geometric intervals below current price to accumulate positions during dips
• 15-Minute VWAP Initialization: Uses volume-weighted average price from 15-minute candles to set grid center
• Dynamic Position Sizing: Margin-aware order sizing with 85% margin utilization
• Automated Take Profit: Closes 50% of position when 8% profit threshold is reached
• Hibernation Mode: Automatically pauses when price moves outside active grid range
• Self-Healing Order Management: Automatically cancels misaligned orders and maintains grid integrity

Code Structure

The complete production code is available in strategy.py. The strategy uses VibeTrading's decorator-based execution model:

@vibe(interval="1m")
def aster_long_only_grid():
    # Main strategy execution
    # - Market data snapshot
    # - Grid initialization
    # - Order management
    # - Position & take profit management

See strategy.py for the full implementation that has been running in production for weeks.

Configuration

Key parameters can be adjusted in strategy.py:

ASSET = "ASTER"
SPACING_PCT = 0.005              # 0.5% grid spacing
GRID_LEVELS_EACH_SIDE = 40       # Grid depth
LEVERAGE = 5                     # Trading leverage
TP_THRESHOLD_PCT = 0.08          # 8% take profit
OHLCV_INTERVAL = "15m"           # Data timeframe
