Grid trading can effectively control drawdowns when configured at the maximum level. The win rate of this strategy is about 2/3—making money during sideways consolidation, and also making profits when correctly predicting the trend direction. Even if the prediction is wrong, the losses are locked within an acceptable range. In comparison, unilateral trading offers higher returns but is difficult to manage in terms of risk. By sticking to the grid strategy and accumulating a few points of profit daily, compound interest can generate significant gains. If one grid is not enough, operate multiple grids simultaneously; since single-profit opportunities are limited, adjusting leverage multiples appropriately can boost returns. The key is to establish a stable trading cognitive system within the risk framework you can handle.

Sounds good, but is the grid really that stable? I've actually seen quite a few people leverage up, run grid strategies, and then get liquidated directly...

That's right, it all sounds correct... but I just want to ask, how did you get the 2/3 win rate data? Is it from backtesting or live trading?
As for leveraging to boost returns, it sounds like you're just making excuses for yourself.

Sounds good, but I still think the biggest risk for grid trading is a one-sided market. A 2/3 win rate sounds comfortable, but what about the remaining 1/3?

Grid trading sounds stable, but can you really stick with it in practice? I haven't seen many people avoid giving up halfway.

It sounds like a stable income strategy, but there are probably only a few who can really stick with it, right?

Listening to it, I started to feel a bit tempted, but grid trading is easy to talk about but really hard to do — the key is to resist the temptation to change the parameters.

Sounds good, but the key is execution. Most people can't stick with it for more than a few days before their hands start itching.
