Interesting question—does the maker points incentive mechanism really allow bots to arbitrage more effectively? I'm wondering if I could also run a grid strategy, which would allow me to earn maker fee discounts and also profit from trader spreads—killing two birds with one stone. The idea might be a bit wild, but the logic holds up. Is there any expert actively experimenting with this? Please share some experiences and see if there are any pitfalls I haven't thought of.

I've also thought about the grid part, but the fee discounts don't cut into many points, and it's not as profitable as I imagined.

The grid strategy... sounds good, but when you actually execute it, the transaction fees might eat up half of the profits.

Haha, the grid strategy has been played out for a long time. The key is whether the cost can be pushed to the limit.

Robot order brushing? Buddy, your idea is a bit naive. The exchange's risk control has long been monitoring this approach. Grid strategy can indeed be profitable, but don't think you can kill two birds with one stone — often, neither side is well taken care of.

The water is too deep when it comes to bot-driven order brushing; I think the risks outweigh the benefits.

The grid strategy is indeed prone to failure. I tried it before, and the transaction fees ate up more than half of the profits.

Haha, I've tried the grid strategy before. The fee discounts are definitely beneficial, but don't expect too much from the spread...

Grid arbitrage definitely has its tricks, but don't get hit by high fees Robot trading is no longer cost-effective, risk control is getting stricter I've tried this approach, and the losses are much higher Maker discounts seem attractive, but in reality, they can't beat gas fees Is anyone doing this? Please share some real data
