• Infinity Trailing: Combines infinity grid with trailing stops
• AI Parameter Optimization: Analyzes historical data for optimal settings
• Dynamic Profit Per Grid: Adjusts based on volatility

How Trailing Grid Works

Traditional grid is static - if price leaves your range, you're stuck. Trailing grid automatically adjusts:

Traditional Grid Problem:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Upper ────────────────────────── Grid ends here
       │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
Lower ─────────────────────────
                                  Price keeps going → You miss it! ↗

Trailing Grid Solution:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
                                        New Upper ───────────────
       │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │       │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
Upper ────────────────────────      New Lower ──────────────────
       │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │       Grid trails price ↗
Lower ─────────────────────────

Price moves up → Grid moves up → You keep profiting!

Trail Modes

1. Trail Up Only (Default for Bulls)

Grid moves up with price, but doesn't move down.

• Great for: Accumulation during uptrends
• Behavior: Price up → Grid up, Price down → Grid stays

kit trailing-grid start --trail-up --no-trail-down

2. Trail Down Only (For Bears)

Grid moves down with price, but doesn't move up.

• Great for: Taking profits during downtrends
• Behavior: Price down → Grid down, Price up → Grid stays

kit trailing-grid start --trail-down --no-trail-up

3. Trail Both Directions

Grid follows price in both directions.

• Great for: Volatile markets, staying in range
• Behavior: Grid always centers around current price

kit trailing-grid start --trail-up --trail-down

4. Infinity Trailing (Advanced)

No upper limit + trailing stops instead of limit orders.

• Great for: Long-term HODL + profit taking
• Behavior: Infinity grid with trailing sell stops

kit trailing-grid start --mode infinity-trailing

Troubleshooting

"Too many trail events"

Grid is trailing too frequently. Increase trail trigger:

kit trailing-grid update --trail-trigger 5%

"Grid shifted too far"

Enable trail limits to cap total shift:

kit trailing-grid start --max-trail 30%  # Max 30% shift from original

"Slippage on trail"

Orders may not fill at exact grid prices during fast moves:

kit trailing-grid start --trail-method limit-chase  # Chase fills
