What is grid trading strategy in forex and why is it controversial?

Grid trading places buy and sell orders at set intervals above and below price, profiting from volatility within ranges. It doesn’t require predicting direction, only capturing swings. Benefits: steady income in ranging markets. Risks: catastrophic losses if strong trends break the grid. Institutions rarely use pure grids but may integrate grid logic in market-making. Retail traders often misuse grids with excessive leverage, leading to margin calls. Grid trading appeals for its simplicity, but sustainable use requires risk controls, stop-outs, and diversification. Without safeguards, it’s more gambling than strategy.
