If the price then increases to 200, the buy position will show a profit of 100, while the sell position will reflect a loss of 100.At this juncture, following the strategy's rules, the profitable buy position is closed, adding 100 to the account balance. The sell position, now at a loss of -100, remains open.
The grid system within this strategy necessitates capturing profits from market movements. To achieve this, a new buy and sell transaction are initiated.
Assuming the price then reverts to the 100 level for convenience:
The second sell transaction has now become profitable by 100, while the second buy position carries a loss of -100.
As per the strategy's rules, the profitable second sell is closed, adding another 100 to the account.
The total profit realized from closed trades at this point is 200.
Meanwhile, the initial sell order, which was at a loss of -100 when the price was at 200, has now moved to the 100 level and is breaking even.
The combined result of all four transactions (the first buy closed for +100, the second sell closed for +100, the first sell now at break-even, and the second buy at -100) shows an overall net gain of 100.
All positions can then be liquidated, resulting in a profitable outcome.
Various other market fluctuations can lead to profitable results using this simultaneous buy and sell approach.
This strategy is intended for use in 2026 and beyond.
