Context
For the past 451 days I’ve been buying a fixed USDT worth BTC daily at UTC midnight. It’s a simple stupid approach, and my current average buy price is 93.5k.
As bearish sentiment and sideways action grip the crypto market,
I want to accelerate accumulation but also use the BTC bag
Therefore I’m adding a Short Spot Combo Bot component to my strategy with TP in base BTC

The idea
Sell BTC in pumps, then use the combo grid to buy it back cheaper during sideways/downward movement, increasing total BTC over time.
Risk & Logic
The main risk is selling all your BTC bag during a strong pump.
My settings upward deviation is 50%, meaning if BTC jumps from ~90k to 135k, the bot will fully sell my bag.
At 135k price, my average sell price is ~110k (ignoring grid profits).
With a 93.5k avg buy price, that’s an 18% gain—not ideal for accumulation, but still profitable.
Worst case: I profit but lose BTC exposure.
Best case: I accumulate more BTC across all market conditions.
Maths & Parameter Sensitivity
The bot’s order sizes, safety orders, and minigrids are tuned specifically to my 93.5k average price and the price trading range (< ~77.5k).
These settings do not generalize to others
Example:
If say average buy price is 90k and BTC drops to 70k, my settings would cause them to sell their entire bag at 105k for an Avg sell price ~85k — creating an unrealized loss until short TP buys back the BTC
To avoid this, settings must be recalculated whenever:
- BTC enters a new price ranges
- Your average buy price changes (daily buys affects this)
A static price filter can prevent the bot from opening shorts outside safe ranges.
Monthly or quarterly reviews are usually enough, since BTC often trades in price ranges for months.
Summary
This is an advanced strategy for people comfortable with math, understanding grid spacing, and deviation management.
AI can help in this but gotta understand to see if AI is doing its job correctly
We all want to buy BTC but are scared if we are buying locals tops but this strategy gives an entire lifecycle plan.
You can start by buying a lump sum BTC and running a short combo bot immediately, but daily BTC buys help keeps your average buy low—especially in bear markets—reducing the upside deviation needed for a zero loss exit and keeping grid spacing tight.
If BTC trades above the avg buy price I suggest pausing the daily buys as you don’t want to push up the avg buy price.
But again that depends what the avg sell price of the short settings will be.
If you prefer gaining USDT instead of BTC, simply switch TP to quote.
The BTC bag will essentially act like a stock giving you dividends in USD
Happy trading
