Buy and Sell Simultaneously - MetaTrader 4 Expert | Grid EA Download - MT4/MT5 Resources

Assume that a trader enters the market with active buying and selling. When the currency is at the 100 level, the price will move to 200. Buying will then have a positive value of 100 and selling will have a negative value of 100. This is when we start to break the rules of trading. We cash out our active purchase and gain 100 into our account. The sell now has a loss of -100.

The grid system requires one to ensure that any market changes. To do this, people will again make buy and sell trades. Now, for convenience, let's assume that the price returns to its original level of 100.

The second sale has increased by 100, the second purchase has increased by 100 and the loss is -100. According to the rules, you can sell it for cash and another 100 will be added to your account. This brings the total cash out for this point to 200.

Now, the first sell that is still active has moved from the 200 level (then -100) to the 100 level (currently breakeven).

The 4 trades added together are now magically showing gains: the first buy cashed out +100, the second sell cashed out +100, the first sell has now broken through and even the second buy is -100. This gives an overall gain of 100. We can clear all trades and have some champagne.

There are many, many other market moves that can turn this weird "simultaneous buying and selling" activity into profits.
