Dynamic grid spacing with ATR: letting volatility set the parameters

The problem with fixed spacing Grid bots need a fundamental parameter decision upfront: how far apart should the buy/sell levels be? Set it too tight: the price crosses levels constantly, you pay gas on dozens of micro-trades, and slippage eats your profit. Set it too wide: the price oscillates within a single band all day. The bot sits idle. Capital is deployed but not working. The grid bots were running at 1.5% fixed spacing — a reasonable starting point. But optimal spacing changes with market conditions. When volatility is low, 1.5% is too wide. When volatility is high, 1.5% is too tight. What ATR measures ATR (Average True Range) measures how much an asset moves on average across N periods. True Range for each candle: TR = max( high - low, # intrabar range |high - prev_close|, # gap up |low - prev_close| # gap dow
