[3Commas] Static Geometric Grid - Indicator
[3Commas] Static Geometric Grid — APE — Indicator
🔷 What it does:
This indicator visualizes a static geometric grid trading system for range-bound altcoins. It pre-computes 64 price levels between a configurable High and Low boundary using geometric spacing (≈ 0.61% step), tracks a virtual deal lifecycle as price crosses through levels, and displays a live on-chart stats card with virtual P&L, drawdown, fill count, win rate, and profit factor. Unlike adaptive grid variants with trailing logic, this version stays locked to the original range — no auto-shift up or down. Webhook-ready alerts are exposed for integration with an external grid bot. No orders are placed by the indicator itself — it is a pure signal and visualization layer.
64 geometrically-spaced levels rendered as horizontal lines on chart
Buy / Sell event labels on every close-cross through a grid level
Static range — grid does NOT shift on price breakout (trailing disabled by default)
Virtual P&L tracker matching the Strategy version's accounting
Stats card displaying Grid Fills, Win Rate, Profit Factor live on chart
🔷 Who is it for:
Range-bound market specialists who identify ranging altcoins and want a visual grid overlay.
Bot operators who automate grid execution through webhook integration with a connected bot.
Free-tier TradingView users who want access to the same grid logic as the Strategy version without requiring backtest functionality.
Traders who prefer predictable risk envelopes — the static range defines exact worst-case accumulation visually.
🔷 How does it work:
Long Entry Signal: When close crosses down through an unfilled grid level, the indicator marks a Buy fill at that level with a small label on chart. The level becomes "filled" in the virtual deal state, recording the buy price and quantity for later P&L calculation.
Short Entry: Not used — long-only grid visualizer.
Exit Management: For each filled level, when close crosses up through the next level above, the indicator marks a Sell fill at that target. The virtual P&L for that grid round-trip is computed as (sellLvl − buyLvl) × qty and added to the running stats. The level is reopened for another buy.
Static range — by default the grid does NOT shift when price exits the boundary. The Trailing Up toggle is provided in inputs for users who want to switch to adaptive mode, but the default static behavior produces a predictable risk envelope: if price breaks above High the grid idles; if it breaks below Low all 64 levels fill and accumulate unrealized loss until reversal.
🔷 Why it's unique:
Pure static range visualization — most grid indicators include trailing logic that compromises the original risk envelope. This variant stays locked to the configured range by default, giving traders a clear visual of the exact worst-case scenario. The trailing toggle is available as an opt-in if needed.
Live virtual P&L stats — runs a complete virtual deal accounting layer that tracks every Buy / Sell pairing and computes realized P&L in real time. The stats card matches the Strategy version's metrics closely (modulo commission, which is not factored in the indicator).
Bot Integration — entry alerts ship with webhook-ready JSON payloads. The grid_start alert fires on first activation; Bot ID, Email Token, and pair label are exposed as inputs.
🔷 What you'll see on the chart:
Red line (top) — Grid High boundary
Green line (bottom) — Grid Low boundary
Aqua lines (middle) — All 62 intermediate grid levels
Aqua "Buy L_X" label — Close crossed down through level X, virtual buy placed
Fuchsia "Sell L_X +N.NNNN" label — Close crossed up through level X+1, virtual sell with realized P&L
Stats card (top-left, configurable) — Live virtual results: Net P&L, Max Drawdown, Grid Fills, Win Rate, Profit Factor
Orange warning label — Appears if chart is on a timeframe other than the recommended 15m
Watermark (top-right, configurable) — Optional brand text overlay for screenshots
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Indicator:
Market & Timeframe: This indicator is highly timeframe-sensitive and is calibrated for a 15-minute chart. Fill density and overall virtual P&L depend directly on how often close crosses grid levels. Higher timeframes (1h+) will show far fewer fills; lower timeframes (1m, 5m) increase fills but slow chart performance. The runtime warning label flags any TF other than 15m.
Limitations: The indicator does not place orders. It tracks a "virtual deal" state on chart for visualization purposes only — actual execution must be done through a connected bot or manually. The static range design means the indicator is structurally exposed to two failure modes if price exits the configured boundary:
(1) Price breaks above High — virtual grid idles, no new fills until reversal
(2) Price breaks below Low — all 64 levels fill, unrealized loss accumulates until average is recovered
This is the trade-off of a pure static grid: predictable risk envelope, but no adaptive protection against trend breakouts.
Virtual P&L Accuracy: The on-chart stats card uses a simplified internal accounting model — it does not factor exchange commission or slippage. Realized profit is computed as the raw (sellLvl − buyLvl) × qty. Use the Strategy version for fee-adjusted backtest results.
Backtesting & Demo Testing: Always validate the grid range and step size on historical data for the specific instrument. The companion Strategy version of this script is available on the same profile for full backtest analysis with realistic commissions and slippage. Demo-trade for at least one month before any live deployment. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Parameter Adjustments: Grid range (High/Low) and level count should be re-tuned per instrument volatility. Wider ranges and more levels for highly volatile assets; tighter setups for stable ranges. The Trailing Up toggle is provided for users who want to convert this into an adaptive grid — enable to make grid follow trends upward.
🔷 Backtest Validation:
This indicator shares identical grid logic with the Strategy version of the same framework, available on this profile for full historical performance review with realistic commission and slippage:

Reference results from the Strategy version on OKX:APEUSDT (Spot), 15m chart, tested period Jan 12 — May 14, 2026:
Net Profit: +365.72 USDT (+18.29%) | Max Drawdown: 540.57 USDT (26.04%) | Total Trades: 1,026 | Win Rate: 55.26% (567 / 1,026) | Profit Factor: 1.952
The reference period included a sustained drawdown phase in Feb–Mar 2026 where APE traded near the Grid Low boundary, producing the 26% max drawdown reading. The strong recovery starting late April 2026 produced most of the realized P&L through aggressive grid unwinding. This is the representative profile of a static range grid — strong recovery returns possible but only after enduring full grid accumulation drawdowns. Refer to the Strategy publication for the complete equity curve and trade-by-trade breakdown.
🔷 How to Use It:
🔸 Adjust Settings: Set the grid High and Low boundaries based on the instrument's observed range over the past 1–3 months. The default 0.10591–0.15466 range is calibrated for ApeCoin's recent volatility envelope. The amount per level should be sized so that filling the entire ladder (all 64 levels) does not exceed your risk budget. Always confirm you are on a 15-minute chart.
🔸 Visual Confirmation: Use the on-chart grid lines and Buy/Sell labels to verify that the active virtual deal aligns with your bot's actual position. The indicator's virtual deal state is a 1-to-1 mirror of the Strategy version's grid logic (minus commission), so any major divergence between chart visuals and bot position is a flag for investigation. Pay particular attention to the Max Drawdown value in the stats card — for a static grid this can grow quickly when price breaks the Low boundary.
🔸 Create alerts to trigger the connected bot: The indicator exposes a "grid_start" alert that fires once when the first bar enters the configured backtest window. Configure the alert in TradingView with the webhook URL pointing to your bot's signal endpoint. The Bot ID, Email Token, and Pair label can be set in the script's inputs. Note that grid bots are typically configured directly within the bot interface, so this alert is primarily informational for monitoring purposes.
