After price moves beyond the grid range you set, the bot stops making new arbitrage trades outside that range. It does not close right away. It is waiting for price to return inside the range.

In other words, the grid will not automatically follow the market out of the range you set.
What Happens Once Price Leaves the Range? Two Modes Compared
For a normal grid, once price leaves the range, the bot has two situations:
Case A: You did not turn on "Trailing Up/Down" or tracking
Price breaks above the upper limit: the bot stops new buy and sell actions. It only holds any position already bought and waits for price to fall back into the range before reactivating orders.
Price breaks below the lower limit: the bot also stops trading. It keeps any open buy orders and starts working again after price rises back into the range.
In this state, the grid itself will not close automatically, and funds are not automatically released. Only when price returns inside the range will the bot continue buying low and selling high.
Case B: You turned on "Trailing Up" or "Trailing Down"
Binance offers "Trailing Up" and "Trailing Down" for spot and futures grids. When enabled, the grid range adjusts automatically in the direction of the breakout:
Trailing Up: after price breaks above the upper limit, the whole grid range moves up, so the bot can continue arbitrage in a higher price range.
Trailing Down: after price breaks below the lower limit, the whole grid range moves down, so the bot can keep working in a lower price range.
But note: if you use a futures grid and the price keeps rising so the value of your position exceeds the maximum allowed by your current leverage, the bot may be forced to stop.
When Will the Grid Stop on Its Own?
Unless you stop it manually, a grid will not automatically close just because price breaks out. But the following situations can stop the grid:
Your "Stop Trailing Price" is reached: if Trailing Up/Down is enabled, you can set a "Stop Trailing Up Price" or "Stop Trailing Down Price" when creating the grid. When price reaches that limit, the trailing feature stops, but the grid continues running in the new range.
Minimum trade limit is reached: during trailing, if a single grid order's trade value falls below Binance's Minimum Notional requirement, trailing pauses, and the grid continues running in the new range.
Margin shortage or liquidation: for futures grids, if account margin falls below the maintenance margin requirement, the grid will be liquidated and stopped.
Practical Tips
If price only breaks out briefly: no action is needed. Once price returns inside the range, the bot will resume automatically.
If you believe a new trend has formed: you can consider "stopping the grid and creating a new range", or turn on Trailing Up/Down in advance to handle breakout moves.
If the grid has been outside the range for a long time and you do not want to act manually: the grid will stay there until price comes back. But during this time your funds are locked.

How to Check
Open [Trading Bots] → [My Grids] → find the order. Check the status:
If it shows "Running", the grid is still working but just has not triggered new orders for now.
If it shows "Stopped", the grid has stopped. You need to handle funds manually and create a new grid if needed.
