About Us — An Independent Guide to Binance Grids and Bots

Let's get the most important thing out of the way first: this is a small, independently run site — Binance didn't make it, and it doesn't represent Binance. The reason for building it is simple: grids, trading bots, and those features wearing the "AI" label are where beginners most often pay tuition — opening a futures grid they shouldn't have and getting swept to the edge of liquidation, treating a bot like a money printer, going heavy on a single AI signal. Meanwhile the Chinese material online was either platform marketing-speak or quant code nobody can read. So the idea was to explain, in plain language, what these tools actually are and where the traps usually sit.

"Qin Shen" is a pen name

The byline "Qin Shen" is a pen name, not my real name. I'm not hiding that — plenty of sites invent a stack of titles for their author, "ten-year quant trader," "managed hundreds of millions," and I don't want to do that, because I have none of it, and making it up would just be lying to you. I'm no expert, and I have no résumé to intimidate you with. You shouldn't trust me because of who I am; you should decide whether to trust me on whether the content itself holds up. Anywhere an article touches a number that can change — fee rates, limits, leverage caps — I write it as a range and mark it "go by what Binance's page shows," precisely because handing you a hard-coded number could mislead you instead.

What this site is trying to do for you

Plainly, one thing: help a beginner just getting into Binance's smart tools fall into fewer traps. Concretely, that lands in three parts —

Explain the features clearly: how a grid buys low and sells high, why a futures grid can get liquidated but a spot grid can't, who pays the funding rate to whom, whether a bot can actually make money — all taken apart in plain words.
Make the tools genuinely usable: the seven calculators on the site all run in your browser — grid profit, grid parameters, liquidation price, funding cost, DCA return, trading fees and US-stock cost. Dialing through the parameters yourself beats reading ten articles.
Put the risks out in the open: crypto trading can take you to zero, and I won't soft-pedal that just to get you to click a link. Where it needs a cold splash of water, I'll splash it.

How the site keeps running

This site is free, and it doesn't run those junky pop-up ads. Running costs are covered by referrals: the site carries Binance referral links and a referral code, and if you sign up through them the site may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. The details are on the Disclosure page. What gets covered and what gets recommended is judged on whether it is useful to a beginner and how big the trap is; plenty of articles tell you to skip the leverage and not to go heavy, and none of that earns the site more commission.

Where we stand: we're on the user's side, not the platform's. The goal is to help you fall into fewer traps and use the tools right, not to egg you on to trade more and lever up more. The higher the trading frequency and the bigger the leverage, the higher the odds something goes wrong — and that doesn't clash with running on referral commission, because users who stick around and know what they're doing are the ones who last.

How to get in touch, how to flag an error

If the content has an error, a number's gone stale, or you want to point out a passage that's wrong, you're very welcome to just email me: the contact page has the address. Errors readers catch, I fix — and I log the change on the Corrections page and own it publicly. This site has worked that way since day one. Partnerships and suggestions go to the same address.

A few honest words of disclaimer

One last time, so there's no misunderstanding: everything here is educational explanation, not investment advice. I don't know your financial situation or risk tolerance, and I can't make trading decisions for you. The calculators in the articles all give estimates; real fills go by Binance's actual execution. On risk specifically, I wrote a dedicated Risk Notice page — I'd suggest reading it carefully before you put on a trade.
