Proof, with the caveats left in
CashflowLoop testimonials: three worked ETH/USDT P&L case studies
These are transparent, illustrative scenarios rather than named customer claims. Every one uses the same ETH/USDT setup: $500 starting capital, a $2,800–$3,200 range, 15 grids, approximately $33.33 per grid, approximately 2.3% gross spread per completed round-trip, and a 0.1% Binance fee per leg.

Illustrative data, not verified testimonials. Trading bots involve risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. These worked examples are not promises of returns: results depend on the pair, volatility, spread, fees, execution, and how often price revisits the range. A break below the band can leave the account holding inventory at a loss.
Three ways the same grid can finish
Price oscillates inside the ETH/USDT band often enough to complete ten buy-then-sell round-trips without a sustained break in either direction.
