About CWS Trading Platform

What is grid trading?

Grid trading is a strategy that places a ladder of buy and sell limit orders above and below a target price. When the market moves down and fills a buy order, a corresponding sell order is placed at a higher price. When the sell fills, the spread between the two prices becomes your profit — and the cycle repeats.

The strategy works well in ranging and moderately volatile markets because it profits from price oscillation rather than requiring a directional bet. It runs continuously, compounding small gains into meaningful returns over time.

What CWS Trading Platform does

CWS Trading Platform automates the entire grid trading lifecycle — from placing and managing orders to continuously optimizing your profit percentage. You connect your exchange API key, configure your target pair and profit settings, and the platform runs 24 hours a day without requiring your attention.

• ›Grid engine: Automatically places layered buy and sell limit orders. Reanchors the grid when price moves significantly.
• ›ROI sweep: Every 7 days, runs a backtest across your active pairs to find the profit percentage that would have performed best. Applies it automatically.
• ›Smart hibernation: When all profit settings return negative results, the platform cancels open buys, reprices sells to protect your entry, and waits. When conditions recover, it wakes automatically.
• ›Multi-market support: Runs the same grid strategy on both cryptocurrency spot markets (via Coinbase) and equities (via Alpaca). One dashboard for everything.
• ›Push notifications: Real-time browser and mobile push notifications on every trade fill so you always know what your bots are executing.

Your funds stay on your exchange

CWS Trading Platform connects via API key and requires only trade and read permissions. Your funds never leave your exchange account — the platform can place and cancel orders on your behalf but has no withdrawal access and holds no assets directly.
