Alternating Grid Entries with Equity-Based Loss Position Closures

Summary

The Market Capture strategy starts with a market sell, then adds positions at fixed grid intervals as price moves. An upward move from the initial sell triggers a buy; continued movement adds further buys at intervals from the previous buy. If price reverses through a buy level, the sequence adds a sell at another grid distance, with a corresponding process for downward movement. The described approach therefore builds alternating positions around price movement rather than relying on a single directional entry.

Inputs include position volume, take profit, minimum distance between positions, and options to close losing positions when account equity rises or falls by configured percentages. Users can also specify how many losing positions to close under those conditions. The document gives no backtest, market assumptions, or performance evidence. It does not explain how exposure is capped or quantify the risks of accumulating positions during a sustained move, so the listed equity controls should not be treated as proof of bounded risk.

Key ideas

• The strategy begins with a market sell and adds positions at fixed price intervals.
• Price movement can trigger alternating buys and sells as the grid develops.
• Inputs control volume, take profit, spacing, and equity-based closing behavior.
• Equity thresholds can trigger closure of a configured number of losing positions.
• The description provides no testing evidence or defined cap on accumulated exposure.
