Investopedia explains 'Carry Grid'

This strategy seeks to capture the interest differential or "carry" between various currencies. The major risk of a carry grid is that a major turnaround in the carry trade can lead to significant losses that may be exacerbated by the multiple trading positions in the trading grid.
