Step 4: Backtest First
Test your strategy with historical data before risking real money.
- Select trading pair (BTC/USDT recommended)
- Set parameters (grid size, multiplier, take profit)

- Start Amount: $10-50 per trade

Begin with minimal capital to test live:

- Run for 1-2 weeks
- Monitor performance daily
- Compare to backtest results
Step 7: Scale Up
Once profitable, gradually increase capital:
- Week 1-2: $100-500
- Week 3-4: $500-1,000
- Month 2+: $1,000-5,000
- Never risk more than you can afford to lose
