How to Handle Two Assets After Stopping a Binance Grid
After stopping a grid, the system automatically settles both assets (base and quote) at the current market price, converting them into the quote currency (e.g. USDT) and transferring them back to your spot or futures account. You can also choose to close positions manually, but either way, unrealized profits and losses become realized at that moment.

Confirm the Stop Method: Auto-Close vs. Manual Close
Before terminating the grid, decide which method to use and understand the differences:
Auto-Close (Recommended for Beginners): Click "Terminate" directly on the grid robot page. The system will automatically cancel all open orders and close positions, convert the assets, and transfer them back to your account.
Manual Close (Advanced Users): Stop the robot first, then manually close the remaining positions on the trading interface. This gives you more control but you bear the risk of price changes.
Key reminder: After the system auto-closes, funds will be transferred from the trading bot account to your spot or futures account within about 30 seconds. Prices may change during these 30 seconds, so the actual credited amount may differ slightly from what you saw at termination.
Asset Conversion Logic: Base Currency Will Be Converted to Quote Currency
After stopping the grid, the unified rule for both assets is:
Spot Grid: If you ran a BTC/USDT grid, the BTC held will be converted to USDT at the current market price, plus the remaining USDT, and the total USDT will be returned to your spot account. What you receive is the quote currency, not a combination of base and quote.
Futures Grid: All positions are converted to USDT (or the corresponding margin currency) at the mark price and returned to your futures account.
Completion standard: You clearly understand that stopping the grid will convert both assets into the quote currency, not return them as-is.
Verify the Credited Amount Against Expectations
After the funds are transferred back, check the actual amount received:
Go to [Orders] → [Trading Bot Orders] → [Transaction History] to see detailed profit and loss.
Credited amount = Initial investment + realized grid profit − fees − funding fees (futures) ± PnL from price changes.
If the amount differs significantly from your expectation, it may be due to slippage at termination, unfilled closing orders, or the system using a different price for conversion than you anticipated.
Completion standard: You can find the full income and expense details for this grid in the transaction history and confirm that the credited amount matches the records.
What to Do With the Funds Next
Once the funds are back in your account, decide your next move based on market conditions:
If you are still bullish on the coin and expect it to continue ranging, you can start a new grid after adjusting the price range.
If you believe the trend has changed (one-sided rally or decline), do not reopen the grid; switch to a trend-following strategy.
If you have no clear direction, leave the funds in your spot account to earn flexible savings interest or simply keep them idle.
Completion standard: You have made a clear plan for the funds based on current market conditions and your own strategy.
Pre-operation Conditions
Before terminating the grid, make sure you are logged into your Binance account and can access [Orders] → [Trading Bot Orders]. It is recommended to check the current "unrealized PnL" and "realized PnL" of the grid, compare them, and then decide.
Common Operational Mistakes
Assuming both coins and cash will be returned as-is: Then discovering that both assets were converted to the quote currency, disrupting your intended holding plan.
Manual close with a limit order that doesn't fill: Take-profit or stop-loss orders not filled, resulting in failed or delayed closing.
Forgetting to account for trading fees and funding fees: The fees and funding charges incurred during the grid run are settled upon termination, causing the actual credited amount to be lower than expected.
Relevant Risk Warnings
Financial Risk: Stopping a grid is equivalent to forced liquidation. If the price is unfavorable at that moment, paper losses become realized, and you cannot "slowly work the grid" to recover them.
Account Risk: When a futures grid is stopped, if positions are highly leveraged, slippage at the moment of closing can magnify losses.

Operation Completion Checklist
In [Orders] → [Trading Bot Orders] → [Transaction History], you see the grid status as "Terminated" and the funds are shown in your spot or futures account balance, with the credited amount within a reasonable margin of what you estimated before termination. Don't rush to start a new grid just because you've closed one. First, review why this grid made or lost money, then decide your next move.
