# Grid Marketplace

### Overview

Grid Marketplace lets you explore currently running Perpetual Grid strategies and use their parameters as a starting point for your own Grid.

You can:

* Copy a strategy and use the same parameters.
* Reverse a Long or Short strategy to use the opposite direction.
* Review the strategy's PnL, ROI, runtime, price range, leverage, and trading activity before creating your own Grid.

Copied strategies are used as parameter snapshots. Your new Grid is independent and does not automatically follow or synchronize with the original strategy.

***

### Accessing Grid Marketplace

Open the Perpetual Grid trading panel and select the Marketplace tab.

The Marketplace displays eligible running Grid strategies as cards. You can sort the strategies by:

* Highest PnL
* Highest ROI
* Lowest PnL
* Lowest ROI

You can also filter the list by trading pair.

The displayed strategies are based on periodic data snapshots, and the page shows when the information was last updated.

### Strategy Information

Each Marketplace card may include:

| Information                | Description                                               |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Symbol                     | The trading pair used by the Grid                         |
| Direction                  | Long, Short, or Neutral                                   |
| Leverage                   | Leverage configured for the Grid                          |
| PnL                        | Current profit or loss of the strategy                    |
| ROI                        | Return relative to the strategy's initial margin          |
| Runtime                    | How long the Grid has been running                        |
| Min. Investment            | Minimum initial margin required to reproduce the strategy |
| 24H / Total Matched Trades | Grid trading activity                                     |
| Price Range                | Price range configured for the Grid                       |

The displayed performance is based on the source strategy's current results and does not guarantee that you will achieve the same results.

## Copy a Grid Strategy

Copy allows you to use the source strategy's parameters as the starting point for your own Grid.

When you select Copy, the following parameters are carried over:

* Price range
* Number of grids
* Grid mode
* Direction
* Leverage
* Margin mode
* Grid trigger
* Stop trigger

The parameters remain editable before you create your Grid.

#### How to Copy

1. Open Marketplace.
2. Find a Grid strategy you want to use.
3. Click Copy.
4. Review the copied parameters and strategy performance.
5. Adjust the parameters if needed.
6. Enter your initial margin.
7. Create the Grid.

Your new Grid operates independently from the original strategy.

***

## Reverse a Grid Strategy

Reverse allows you to use the same Grid parameters while taking the opposite direction.

| Original Direction | Reversed Direction |
| ------------------ | ------------------ |
| Long               | Short              |
| Short              | Long               |
| Neutral            | Not available      |

For a Reverse strategy:

* Long becomes Short.
* Short becomes Long.
* The price range remains the same.
* The number of grids remains the same.
* Grid mode remains the same.
* Leverage remains the same.
* Margin mode remains the same.
* Stop-loss boundaries are mirrored for the opposite direction.

The Reverse option is not available for Neutral strategies.

#### How to Reverse

1. Open Marketplace.
2. Find a Long or Short Grid strategy.
3. Click Reverse.
4. Review the reversed direction and parameters.
5. Enter your initial margin.
6. Create the Grid.

***

### Check the Price Range Before Creating

Market conditions can change after a strategy snapshot is taken.

When you copy or reverse a strategy, Aster checks whether the current market price is still within the strategy's price range.

If the current price has moved outside the range, a warning will be displayed. You can then adjust the strategy manually or use the Manual settings instead.

A copied strategy's historical performance should therefore not be treated as an indication of future performance.

***

## Account Privacy

Grid Marketplace uses the existing Account Privacy setting.

If you have Account Privacy enabled, your running Grid strategies will not appear in the Marketplace.

If you enable Account Privacy after a Grid has already appeared in Marketplace, the Grid will be removed from the Marketplace during the next data update. Your Grid itself will continue running normally and will not be stopped or modified.

Marketplace does not display the owner's:

* Wallet address
* Username or nickname
* Profile picture
* Other identifying information

***

## Important Notes

* Marketplace strategies are provided for reference and parameter discovery only.
* Copying a strategy does not guarantee the same PnL, ROI, or trading results.
* Your new Grid is independent of the source Grid.
* Market conditions may change between the displayed snapshot and the time you create your Grid.
* Review the price range, leverage, margin, and other parameters carefully before creating a Grid.
* Reverse changes the trading direction but does not mean the resulting strategy will produce the opposite of the source strategy's actual PnL.
* Running a Grid involves trading risk, including the potential loss of your invested margin.

## FAQ

#### Does Copy automatically follow the original Grid?

No. Copy creates a new Grid using the source strategy's parameters. Your Grid does not continuously synchronize with the original strategy.

#### Can I edit the parameters after copying?

Yes. The copied parameters remain editable before you create your Grid.

#### What happens when I use Reverse?

Reverse changes Long to Short or Short to Long while retaining the applicable Grid parameters.&#x20;

Can I Reverse a Neutral Grid?

No. Reverse is only available for Long and Short strategies.

#### Will I get the same PnL as the source strategy?

No. The displayed PnL and ROI are historical/current results of the source strategy. Your results may differ because market conditions, entry timing, and other factors can change.

#### Why is a strategy marked as outside the price range?

It means the current market price has moved outside the price range used by the source strategy. You should review or adjust the parameters before creating the Grid.

#### Who can see my Grid in the Marketplace?

Your running Grid can appear in the Marketplace when Account Privacy is disabled and the Grid meets the Marketplace eligibility conditions.
