Weekly snapshot
This week was about structure, not action.
Across the portfolio, grid arbitrage continued to do its job while market prices remained below recent averages. The result is a familiar but expected pattern: positive arbitrage, negative holdings, net slightly down.
No panic moves. No forced optimization.
What the data shows
- Arbitrage remains positive across all active bots
- Drawdowns are driven by price, not system failure
- Reinvestment continues to compound future grid density
- Volatility was muted, resulting in fewer arbitrage cycles than peak weeks
This is exactly the environment grid systems are designed to survive — and quietly prepare for.
Asset behavior highlights
- Higher-volatility assets continued to generate trades despite price pressure
- Large-cap pairs (ETH) remained stable, producing fewer but cleaner cycles
- Mid-range assets (UNI, AVAX) stayed within expected ranges with no structural concerns
No asset broke thesis. No range invalidations occurred.
What I changed (and what I didn’t)
- No global changes made
- No emotional rebalancing
- No capital forced into drawdowns
One underperforming configuration is under review for efficiency. If a more suitable asset does not emerge that better matches the desired volatility and range behavior, this position will be closed and redeployed into a more active setup.
Takeaway
Weeks like this are where discipline compounds.
Grid trading isn’t about predicting direction — it’s about staying deployed long enough for volatility to return. This week reinforced that the system is functioning as intended, even when the market is quiet or drifting lower.
Next week’s focus remains the same: observe, document, and let the math work.
