Manual modes: You can flexibly create personalized grid strategies by choosing stablecoins when the market is sideways/gently rising; base tokens when during slow downtrends; or a combination of 50% USDT, 50% token when in indecisive markets.
AI modes:
Bitget also offers AI-recommended Spot Grid Bots that automatically configure optimal grid spacing based on volatility.
-
AI Conservative: Tight spacing, frequent small trades. Best for stable markets and low-risk appetite.
