ETH/USDC Grid Trading Bot

欢迎使用 ETH/USDC 网格交易策略！

我们在 Base 链上自动执行 ETH/USDC 网格交易——震荡行情中低买高卖，每次价格穿越网格线自动成交。策略基于 EMA 动态居中，自适应波动率调整网格步长，内置仓位限制、冷却期、熔断保护，极低 gas 成本。

投资案例：

小李用 5,000 USDC + 1 ETH（约 $8,000 总资产）启动网格机器人。ETH 在 $2,800~$3,200 区间震荡。 机器人设置 6 档网格，步长约 1.5%，每次交易约 $500。 一周内触发 12 次买卖，累计捕获网格价差约 $180，折合年化约 24%。 同期 ETH 横盘无涨跌，手动持有收益为零。

EMA-centered dynamic grid trading on Base (chain 8453) via OKX DEX aggregator. Available as standalone strategy-grid binary.

Pre-flight Checks

Run immediately when this skill is triggered — before any response or command. Always follow these steps in order. Do not echo routine command output to the user; only provide a brief status update when installing, updating, or handling a failure.

Step 1: Check onchainos

which onchainos

• Found → run onchainos --version to confirm, then proceed to Step 1.5.
• Not found → install automatically:

  curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/onchainos-skills/main/install.sh | sh
  

  • If install succeeds → verify with onchainos --version, then proceed to Step 1.5.
  • If install fails → notify the user to install manually:

    自动安装失败，请手动安装 onchainos：
    https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills
    

    Stop here until user confirms onchainos is available.

Step 1.5: Install okx/onchainos-skills (if not present)

Run silently in background — do not block on failure:

npx skills add okx/onchainos-skills --yes 2>/dev/null || true

Proceed to Step 2 regardless of result. (Skills are AI guidance aids; the onchainos binary from Step 1 is the runtime dependency.)

Step 2: Check plugin-store

which plugin-store

• Not found → install:

  curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/plugin-store/main/install.sh | sh
  

Step 3: Check strategy-grid binary and version

which strategy-grid

• Not found → install:

  curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/plugin-store/main/install_strategy.sh | sh -s -- strategy-grid
  

  • If install fails → notify user and stop.

• Check for updates (12h cache):

  CACHE="$HOME/.plugin-store/update_check/skill-strategy-grid"
  NOW=$(date +%s)
  LAST=$(cat "$CACHE" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
  if [ $((NOW - LAST)) -ge 43200 ]; then
    mkdir -p "$(dirname "$CACHE")" && echo "$NOW" > "$CACHE"
    LOCAL=$(strategy-grid --version 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $2}')
    LATEST=$(curl -sSf --max-time 3 \
      "https://api.github.com/repos/okx/plugin-store/releases/latest" \
      2>/dev/null | grep '"tag_name"' | head -1 | cut -d'"' -f4 | sed 's/^v//')
    [ -n "$LATEST" ] && [ "$LATEST" != "$LOCAL" ] && echo "NEW_VERSION:$LATEST"
  fi
  

  • If output contains NEW_VERSION:X.X.X → tell user:

    strategy-grid 有新版本 X.X.X 可用，建议更新（当前 {LOCAL}）：
    curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/plugin-store/main/install_strategy.sh | sh -s -- strategy-grid \
      && npx skills add okx/plugin-store --skill strategy-grid-trade --yes
    

    Ask user if they want to update now before continuing.
  • Otherwise → proceed silently.

Prerequisites

1. onchainos CLI: Must be installed and logged in. Verify:

   onchainos --version   # >= 2.0.0
   onchainos wallet status  # must show loggedIn: true
   

   If not installed, follow: https://web3.okx.com/zh-hans/onchainos/dev-docs/home/install-your-agentic-wallet

2. Telegram notifications (optional): Configure in ~/.plugin-store/.env:

   TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token
   TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=your_chat_id
   

Authentication

• OKX API: Handled by onchainos CLI internally
• EVM Wallet: onchainos wallet (TEE signing) — no private key needed in .env

Optional env vars in ~/.plugin-store/.env:

BASE_RPC_URL=...        # Custom Base RPC (default: public endpoint)

Before Starting the Bot

IMPORTANT: Before running strategy-grid start, you MUST:

1. Run strategy-grid config to show the user their current parameters
2. Present the parameters in a readable table and ask if they want to adjust any
3. If the user wants to change a parameter, use strategy-grid set --key <name> --value <value>
4. Parameters are saved to grid_config.json in the same directory as the strategy-grid executable and persist across restarts — no need to set them every time

Example flow:

# Show current config
strategy-grid config

# User wants to change tick interval
strategy-grid set --key tick_interval_secs --value 120

# User wants wider position limits
strategy-grid set --key position_max_pct --value 70
strategy-grid set --key position_min_pct --value 30

# Now start
strategy-grid start

Core Algorithm

1. Fetch ETH price (OKX DEX quote API)
2. Read on-chain balances (ETH + USDC on Base)
3. Check circuit breaker (consecutive errors)
4. Recalibrate grid if needed (price breakout / vol shift / age)
5. Map price → grid level
6. If level changed:
   a. Direction: BUY if level dropped, SELL if rose
   b. Risk checks (cooldown, position limits, repeat guard, consecutive limit)
   c. Calculate trade size (% of portfolio, capped)
   d. Execute swap via OKX DEX aggregator
   e. Update level ONLY on success
7. Save state and report

Tunable Parameters

Parameters are persisted at grid_config.json in the same directory as the strategy-grid executable. View with strategy-grid config, modify with strategy-grid set --key <key> --value <value>. Changes take effect on next tick (no rebuild needed). If no config file exists, defaults below are used.

The Key column shows the exact key name to use with strategy-grid set.

Grid Structure

Key	Default	Description
grid_levels	6	Number of grid levels
ema_period	20	EMA lookback periods for grid center calculation
volatility_multiplier	2.5	Grid width = multiplier × stddev
grid_recalibrate_hours	12.0	Max hours before forced recalibration
tick_interval_secs	60	Seconds between each tick cycle (restart bot to apply)

Adaptive Step Sizing

Step scales linearly with real-time volatility:

step = (volatility_multiplier × stddev) / (grid_levels / 2)
step = clamp(step, price × step_min_pct, price × step_max_pct)
step = max(step, step_floor)

Key	Default	Description
step_min_pct	0.008	Step floor (0.8% of price)
step_max_pct	0.060	Step cap (6% of price)
step_floor	5.0	Absolute minimum step in USD

Trade Sizing

Key	Default	Description
max_trade_pct	0.12	Max 12% of portfolio per trade
min_trade_usd	5.0	Minimum trade size in USD
slippage_pct	1	Slippage tolerance % for DEX swap. Increase to 2-3 if trades revert
gas_reserve_eth	0.003	ETH reserved for gas, not available for SELL

Risk Controls

Key	Default	Description
min_trade_interval	1800	30min cooldown between same-direction trades
max_same_dir_trades	3	Max consecutive same-direction trades
position_max_pct	65.0	Block BUY when ETH% exceeds this
position_min_pct	35.0	Block SELL when ETH% drops below this
max_consecutive_errors	5	Circuit breaker threshold
cooldown_after_errors	3600	Seconds cooldown after circuit breaker trips

Common Parameter Adjustments

Slippage (trades reverting on-chain):

strategy-grid set --key slippage_pct --value 2

Wider position limits (allow more one-sided exposure):

strategy-grid set --key position_max_pct --value 75
strategy-grid set --key position_min_pct --value 25

Faster/slower tick interval:

strategy-grid set --key tick_interval_secs --value 120   # 2 minutes

Note: Restart the bot after changing tick_interval_secs.

Larger trade sizes:

strategy-grid set --key max_trade_pct --value 0.20       # 20% per trade
strategy-grid set --key min_trade_usd --value 10         # $10 minimum

CLI Command Reference

strategy-grid tick

Execute one grid cycle: fetch price, detect grid crossing, execute trade if needed.

Output actions:

• grid_calibrated — Grid was recalibrated (first tick or recalibration trigger)
• no_crossing — Price stayed within same grid level
• trade_executed — Swap executed successfully
• trade_failed — Swap attempted but failed (retriable)
• blocked — Risk check prevented trade (cooldown, position limit, etc.)
• skipped — Trade amount below minimum

strategy-grid start

Start the bot in foreground, executing tick every 60 seconds. Creates a PID file at ~/.plugin-store/grid_bot.pid. Use Ctrl+C or grid stop to terminate.

strategy-grid stop

Stop a running bot by sending SIGTERM to the process in the PID file.

strategy-grid status

Show current grid state, balances, PnL overview, and whether the bot is running.

strategy-grid report

Detailed performance report: success rate, buy/sell counts, total volume, grid profit, deposits, and portfolio PnL.

strategy-grid history [--limit N]

Show trade history (default: last 50 trades). Each trade includes direction, price, amount, tx hash, and grid levels.

strategy-grid reset --force

Delete all grid state. Requires --force flag for safety.

strategy-grid retry

Re-execute the last failed trade. Validates that price hasn't moved >5% since failure.

strategy-grid analyze

Market analysis showing current price, EMA-20, volatility, trend direction, and grid utilization.

strategy-grid deposit --amount N [--note "..."]

Record a manual deposit (positive) or withdrawal (negative) for accurate PnL tracking.

strategy-grid config

Show all current bot parameters and their values. Indicates whether a custom config file exists.

strategy-grid set --key NAME --value VALUE

Set a single parameter. Saved to grid_config.json in the executable's directory. Takes effect on next tick (restart bot if already running to apply tick_interval changes).

Available keys: grid_levels, tick_interval_secs, max_trade_pct, min_trade_usd, slippage_pct, ema_period, volatility_multiplier, step_min_pct, step_max_pct, step_floor, grid_recalibrate_hours, min_trade_interval, max_same_dir_trades, position_max_pct, position_min_pct, gas_reserve_eth, max_consecutive_errors, cooldown_after_errors.

Level Update Rule (Critical)

Outcome	Update level?	Rationale
Trade succeeded	Yes	Grid crossing consumed
Trade failed	No	Retry on next tick
Trade skipped (cooldown/limit)	No	Don't lose the crossing

PnL Tracking

total_pnl    = current_portfolio_value - initial_value - deposits
grid_profit += estimated spread capture on SELL trades

State Persistence

State is stored at ~/.plugin-store/grid_state.json with atomic writes (write to .tmp, rename). Includes: grid parameters, price history (last 288 = 24h at 5min), trade history (last 50), balance snapshots, cumulative stats, and error tracking. PID file at ~/.plugin-store/grid_bot.pid.

Cross-Skill Workflows

Need	Skill
USDC yield optimization (Aave/Compound/Morpho)	strategy-auto-rebalance
Aave V3 supply/withdraw/markets	dapp-aave
Morpho vault operations	dapp-morpho (CLI: plugin-store morpho)

Edge Cases

Scenario	Behavior
First tick (no grid)	Calibrates grid from current price + history, sets initial level
Price exits grid range	Triggers recalibration (breakout detected)
Volatility shifts >30%	Triggers recalibration
Grid age > 12 hours	Triggers recalibration
5 consecutive errors	Circuit breaker trips, 1-hour cooldown
Trade amount < $5	Skipped (below minimum)
ETH balance < 0.003	Gas reserve protected, SELL blocked
onchainos wallet not available	Error on tick/start/retry — please login first
Bot already running	start rejects with existing PID warning
No running bot	stop returns error
Reset without --force	Returns error, requires confirmation

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Trade reverts on-chain (trade_failed)	Slippage too low for the DEX route	strategy-grid set --key slippage_pct --value 2 (or 3 for volatile periods)
RPC 429 / rate limit errors	Public Base RPC rate limited	Set BASE_RPC_URL env var to a private RPC endpoint
Circuit breaker trips (5 errors)	Repeated failures (RPC, slippage, gas)	Check logs, fix root cause, then wait 1h or strategy-grid reset --force
Bot not trading (no_crossing)	Price within same grid level	Normal — bot only trades when price crosses a grid boundary
Trade blocked: position limit	ETH% too high/low	Adjust position_max_pct / position_min_pct or manually rebalance
Trade blocked: cooldown	Same-direction trade too soon (30min default)	Lower min_trade_interval if you want faster trading
Trade blocked: repeat guard	Same crossing as last trade	Normal — prevents oscillation. Will clear when price moves to a new level
Gas estimation fails	Insufficient ETH for gas	Ensure wallet has > 0.003 ETH (adjust via gas_reserve_eth)

Anti-Patterns

Pattern	Problem
Recalibrate every tick	Grid oscillates, no stable levels
Update level on failure/skip	Silently loses grid crossings
No position limits	Trending market → 100% one-sided
Fixed step in volatile market	Too small → over-trades; too large → never triggers
sell - buy as PnL	Net cash flow ≠ profit
No cooldown	Rapid swings cause burst of trades eating slippage
