01CONNECT
Verify trade-only access
GridCove rejects withdrawal-enabled credentials, creates an isolated worker, and leaves it paused for review.
HOW GRIDCOVE WORKS
Connect safely. Run deliberately. Review every decision.
Each worker starts paused, evaluates exactly four approved markets, gives fresh BUYs to one automatic Buy Focus, protects filled positions, and reconciles against the exchange after an interruption.
THE OPERATING LOOP
- Connect with trade-only access
- Evaluate and choose Buy Focus
- Place, protect, and manage orders
- Record and reconcile every change
EASIER CONNECTION SETUP
Create a trade-only key, paste two values, and verify.
Use the provider-by-provider guide for Binance.US, Kraken, and Coinbase Advanced. It shows the exact permissions to enable, which permissions must stay off, and which value belongs in each GridCove field.
FOUR OPERATING PHASES
From a paused connection to a reconciled worker.
GridCove can skip a BUY when the checks do not pass. Holding quote cash is an intentional outcome, not an error.
02EVALUATE
Read the market and choose focus
The worker checks completed market data, budget, spread, volatility, capacity, and anti-chase context across four approved markets.
03TRADE
Place BUYs and protect SELLs
Fresh BUYs stay on one Buy Focus. Filled positions receive tracked SELL targets while existing exits remain protected.
04RECORD
Review and reconcile
Activity records explain decisions, fills, warnings, and recovery. Restart reconciliation compares saved state with live exchange data.
PRODUCT WALKTHROUGH
Three views. Three clear jobs.
Configure the worker, monitor current market context, and review the audit trail. Each screenshot appears once and serves one purpose.
01 · CONFIGURE
Choose protected defaults or a plan-appropriate preset.
Review the strategy mode, protection boundaries, and saved settings before enabling the worker.
- Choose a guarded setup without editing every field individually.
- See which controls are automatic and which can be adjusted.
- Save changes deliberately before the worker uses them.
EXPAND02 · MONITOR
See the market context behind the worker.
Market Watch keeps approved markets, live SELL pressure, range position, and current price context visible.
- Review current price, movement, range position, and open-order context.
- See SELL positions first so existing exits remain easy to follow.
- Use Starter scanner tools separately when broader research is needed.
EXPAND03 · REVIEW
Use Activity Center as the audit trail.
Review fills, Buy Focus decisions, grid changes, warnings, recovery actions, and exchange resync results.
- Follow BUY placements, fills, protective SELLs, and cancellations.
- Review recovery and reconciliation without reading raw logs first.
- Expand technical details only when deeper diagnostics are needed.
EXPANDSAFETY BOUNDARIES
Automation stays inside defined limits.
GridCove cannot remove market risk, guarantee fills, or guarantee profit. Its job is to enforce the configured workflow consistently and keep the state visible.
No withdrawal permission
- Trade-only API credentials
- Encrypted credential storage
- Separate worker state per connection
Existing exits stay protected
- Recentering replaces unfilled BUYs, not active SELLs
- Unknown cost basis is not guessed
- Stop protection is optional and off by default
Restart before resume
- Compare saved state with live orders and balances
- Record recovery actions
- Return with fresh trading paused
Vault stays at the exchange
Vault is an accounting reserve inside the connected exchange account. It does not give GridCove withdrawal permission and is not a separate custodial wallet.
