What is GridFlow?
GridFlow is a self-hosted automated grid trading bot for Binance Spot. You install it on your own server, connect your Binance API key, and it runs 24/7 — placing and rebalancing orders automatically as the market moves.
Why self-hosted?
Most grid trading bots (3Commas, Pionex, Bitsgap) run in the cloud. That means:
- They hold your API keys. If they get hacked, your funds are at risk.
- You pay every month. $25–100/mo forever, whether the bot is profitable or not.
- You trust a third party to execute trades correctly and honestly.
GridFlow is different. You install it once on a $6/month VPS. You own the server. You hold your own keys. No middleman.
What does it do?
GridFlow places a grid of limit orders across a price range you define. When a buy order fills, it immediately places a sell order one level up. When that sell fills, it places another buy one level down. It captures the price oscillation automatically, 24/7.
Price range: 90,000 – 100,000 USDT (BTC/USDT)
Grid levels: 90k | 92.5k | 95k | 97.5k | 100k
BUY at 90k, 92.5k, 95k (below market)
SELL at 97.5k, 100k (above market)
→ BTC drops to 95k → BUY fills
→ BTC rises to 97.5k → SELL fills → profit: 2.5k × amount
Who is it for?
- Traders who already use Binance and understand grid strategies
- Anyone frustrated with cloud bots that hold their API keys
- Developers or technically comfortable users who can run Docker on a VPS
