Solana Grid Trading: Which AI Strategy Makes More?
2026-10-22
"Which strategy makes more?" is the question every grid trader asks, and it is the wrong place to start. A higher backtested profit almost always comes with a bigger drawdown and a closer liquidation point. This guide compares two Bitrue AI SOL/USDT grid strategies side by side, a 20x Aggressive Grid and a 9x grid labeled Stable, using the figures shown on their strategy pages. It explains what each number means, what the same amount would have done in the backtest, and what could go wrong. This is educational content, not financial advice, and none of these figures predict future results.
Key Takeaways
The 20x Aggressive Grid shows a 30-day backtested annualized return of 2,451.36% and a maximum historical drawdown of 55.56%. The 9x grid shows 1,078.2% and 24.53%.
Per unit of drawdown, the two are nearly identical, at roughly 44 points of annualized return per point of drawdown each. The aggressive strategy does not look more efficient, it just takes bigger swings.
Both are backtests on 30 days of data. Bitrue says estimated returns are based on historical backtests and do not guarantee future performance, and leverage means a position can be liquidated even if price stays inside the range.
How Grid Trading Works on Solana
A grid strategy places buy and sell orders at set price levels inside a range. When price moves down it buys, when it moves back up it sells, and each completed pair earns a small profit. It tends to work best in sideways markets and struggles in strong one-way trends.
Bitrue's guide to the Bitrue AI grid strategy explains the mechanics and the key parameters, including a point worth repeating: grid profit is not the same as total profit, because an open losing position and fees can outweigh completed grid trades.
Bitrue AI generates the range, grid count and direction, then shows the reasoning. You choose the amount and decide when to start and stop. That is why the comparison below focuses on the parameters the AI recommends.
The Two Strategies at a Glance
Figures are taken from the two Bitrue AI strategy pages. Neither page shows a snapshot timestamp, so treat them as a snapshot of when the strategies were generated, and check the live page before acting.
The 9x strategy appears under different names on its own page, "Stable" in the heading, "balanced" in the URL and "Pertumbuhan" (growth) in the meta title, so check the label shown on the live strategy card.

Same Amount, Same Period: What the Numbers Imply
The pages do not state the investment amount behind the "estimated monthly profit." Working backwards, the annualized figures divided by 12 match the profit figures if the base amounts were about 64 USDT and 75 USDT, which also match the start-button amounts. That is my inference, not something the pages say, so confirm it on the platform.
To compare fairly, scale both to the same hypothetical amount of 100 USDT using the backtest percentages. This is simple arithmetic and assumes results scale in proportion, which real trading does not guarantee:
So "which makes more" has an easy answer in the backtest, the aggressive strategy, and a more useful answer: it makes about 2.3 times as much while risking about 2.3 times the drawdown. Neither number is a forecast. A 30-day window that includes a favorable range-bound stretch can flatter any grid, and a backtest cannot include the next trend.
What the AI Analysis Says
The two pages cite similar inputs. Both mention support near 105.85 and 100.43 on the 4-hour chart, resistance near 109.18, ATR14 of 0.87 and a sentiment index of 68. Both flag bearish MACD and weak on-balance volume as directional-break risks.
Aggressive grid: Described as ranging with a downward bias, ADX14 of 29 and price below the Bollinger midpoint near 107.31. It sets a "short grid" with sell and buy bounds at the top and bottom of the range, and lists two risks, an upside breakout above 113.09 and a downside breakdown below 99.31.
9x grid: Described as a sideways structure with RSI14 at 43 and price near the lower Bollinger Band. It warns that a loss of 105.85 could trigger repeated lower fills before 96.64, and that a sustained move above 109.18 could leave the grid under-positioned. Average grid spacing is about 0.239% of price, above a 0.12% fee threshold.
Neither page gives explicit take-profit or stop-loss values, only breakout and breakdown thresholds, and neither shows a win rate or a risk rating.
Risk: Where Each Strategy Can Hurt You
Liquidation distance. As a rough rule, a leveraged position can be wiped out by an adverse move of about 1 divided by the leverage, before fees and maintenance margin. That is about 5% at 20x and about 11% at 9x.
Actual liquidation depends on the platform's margin rules, so treat this as an orientation, not a calculation. The 20x strategy's range spans roughly 13% of the price, so a trend through the range can threaten liquidation, not just a smaller profit.
Range breaks. Both pages state the risk of price breaking out of the range. A strong trend can leave open positions losing more than completed grid trades earned, which Bitrue's grid guide illustrates with a net-loss example.
Direction. The aggressive strategy leans short. If SOL rallies through 113.09, the downside is concentrated in that direction.
Fees and slippage. Backtests may not fully reflect fees, slippage and fast moves, which Bitrue says directly on its page about whether Bitrue AI guarantees profits.
Inconsistent details. The pages mention both 64 and 73 cells for the aggressive grid, and 75 and 80 for the 9x grid, and slightly different range bounds in their text. Rely on the parameters shown at the point of starting the strategy.
Which Strategy Fits Which Trader?
If you are new to grid trading, the lower-leverage, wider-range strategy is the more forgiving choice, because it has a smaller historical drawdown and more room before a breakout. It is not safe, only less aggressive.
If you want to test faster profit-taking, the aggressive grid is the higher-variance option, and it needs a smaller position and closer monitoring.
If you are unsure, start with the smallest amount and watch how it behaves through a few swings before adding.
Whichever you pick, check the range against current price, decide your loss limit before starting, and confirm you can stop the strategy at any time.

Conclusion
On backtested numbers, the 20x Aggressive Grid earns more than the 9x grid, about 2.3 times as much, and carries about 2.3 times the drawdown, so neither is clearly the better deal. The real choice is how much risk and monitoring you can handle, and whether SOL stays inside the range. Treat both as examples of how Bitrue AI presents parameters, not as promises. This is not financial advice, and Bitrue AI does not guarantee profits.
FAQ
Which Bitrue AI strategy makes more on Solana?
In the 30-day backtests shown, the 20x Aggressive Grid has the higher annualized return (2,451.36% versus 1,078.2%) but also the larger historical drawdown (55.56% versus 24.53%). Backtests do not predict future results.
Is Solana grid trading profitable?
It can earn small repeated profits in a range, but strong trends, leverage, fees and slippage can produce losses, and no strategy guarantees profit.
What is the risk of 20x leverage in a grid?
A small adverse move can liquidate a leveraged position even while price is inside the grid range. Bitrue's grid guide warns about this for futures.
Does Bitrue AI guarantee profits?
No. Bitrue states that estimated returns come from historical backtests and do not guarantee future performance.
How much do I need to start a SOL grid?
The strategy pages show start buttons of 64 USDT and 75 USDT, but do not label them as minimums, so check the amount shown at checkout.
