What is the difference between arithmetic and geometric grids?
Arithmetic grids use equal price intervals. Geometric grids use equal percentage intervals.

How it’s calculated
Arithmetic prices use equal dollar intervals; geometric prices use p_i = lower × (upper ÷ lower)^(i ÷ N). Investment is split evenly across N grids. For each interval, quantity = allocation ÷ buy price; gross profit = quantity × (sell price − buy price); fees = fee rate × (buy notional + sell notional); net profit = gross profit − fees. Net profit percentage is net profit ÷ allocation.
Assumptions
One completed buy and sell is assumed per grid, with the same fee rate on both orders. The model reports the minimum and maximum net profit per grid and warns when the minimum is zero or negative. Exchange order sizing, inventory drift, slippage, funding and tax are excluded.

FAQ
Are profits guaranteed if price stays in range?
No. Estimates ignore execution, inventory drift, funding, slippage and market gaps.
How are fees and grid profit calculated?
Investment is split evenly among grids, and each allocation buys at that grid’s lower price. For example, a $200 investment over two arithmetic grids from $100 to $200 allocates $100 each: grid one buys 1 unit and nets $49.75 after 0.1% fees; grid two buys 0.6667 units and nets about $33.10 (33.10%).
