Technical analysis by trade_lexx about Symbol ETH on 9/4/2025

Hello everyone! In this idea, I want to share the process of deep optimization and refinement of the grid strategy for ETHUSDT.P on the OKX exchange. The main focus of this strategy is on solving the main problem of classic grids: "hanging" a deal in a losing position for years. Instead of passively waiting for the price to return, I implemented an active stop loss mechanism triggered by the last order in the grid. This allows you to effectively trim losses and free up capital, without letting the deal hang like a dead weight. The main task is to find not just a profitable, but a truly stable configuration that can work stably throughout the trading history since 2019. The four-step process of creating a sustainable strategy: Stage 1: Wide search based on the current chart history The initial step was the initial optimization on the last 20,000 bars. I used the widest possible ranges for all parameters (grid pitch, volume multiplier, profit targets) to "scan" the market. The goal is to identify common areas of profitability and weed out thousands of obviously non—working combinations. A total of 5,000 variants were tested. Stage 2: Spot adjustment and tightening of filters Based on the best results of the first stage, I launched a more targeted optimization with narrowed parameter ranges. At the same time, the selection criteria were tightened: the strategy was supposed not only to make a profit, but also to show stability with a distance to liquidation of more than 80%. At this stage, after analyzing 7000 combinations, the optimal, "golden" configuration was found. Stage 3: Stress test and problem identification It was the main exam. I applied the "golden" combination to the full historical period from December 2019. The test covered all phases of the market: bullish growth, bearish falls and a long flat. The strategy went the entire distance without liquidation, but the test revealed its weak point: one of the deals was "stuck" in drawdown for a very long time — from December 2021 to March 2024. Result: The final profit since December 2019 decreased to +787%. Stage 4: Stop Loss implementation and final result Despite the final profit of +787%, prolonged "freezing" of capital in one transaction is ineffective. To solve this problem, I introduced a stop loss of 25% of the last safety order. Result: The final profit since December 2019 decreased to +504%. Conclusion: Despite the decrease in the final figure, this result is much more valuable from the point of view of risk management and capital efficiency. The strategy has become more dynamic and protected from prolonged drawdowns, which is critically important for real trading. In the video, as a related idea, I demonstrate in detail every step of this process: from the initial search to the final test and the introduction of a stop loss, which makes this strategy truly work over a long distance.
