With the market fluctuating like this, who is really making stable profits?

Recently, I've seen many people using grid trading to make money passively—setting upper and lower limits, and letting the price bounce back and forth to automatically buy low and sell high. It’s not as exciting as chasing rallies and selling dips, but it’s stable. Especially in this kind of oscillating market, the grid strategy can actually profit from every small rebound.

A friend’s screenshot of their grid account clearly illustrates the point: no need to constantly watch the candlestick charts, as the market jumps around, the grid quietly accumulates profits. It may seem dull, but this is the truth of stable earnings in the crypto world.

Grid trading sounds good, but I still think it depends on the choice of the coin, otherwise all the fluctuations would be pointless.

Grid trading sounds good, but I still prefer to take a gamble; lying around and earning passively is too boring.

Grid trading sounds appealing, but in reality? You still need to choose the right coin. If you pick the wrong one, a decline means a never-ending trap of losses.

Grid trading, to put it simply, is a lazy way to make money. I've tried it, and you really don't have to worry about it. It sounds good and stable, but in reality, there's no profit when the market is stagnant. What I fear most is a one-sided decline. Can I see a screenshot of your friend's account? Could there be a bit of survivor bias involved?

Grid trading sounds great, but we need to look at it from a quantitative perspective—smaller fluctuations mean lower profits, and transaction fees can wipe out gains. According to historical data, this kind of "steady profit" is actually a loss trap during high volatility periods. Don't be fooled by friends' screenshots; those are likely survivor bias. If you're really going to do T, it's better to wait until a clear bottom formation before entering. It's advisable to issue a risk warning at this position.

Grid trading sounds simple, but how many people actually make money? Why do I keep getting repeatedly cut?
