Alternating Grid Orders Using Market and Limit Entries

Summary

The document describes a grid expert advisor that opens its first trade with a market order and places subsequent grid orders as pending limit orders. The direction alternates between buys and sells, with the user choosing the type of the initial trade. This outlines an order-entry pattern for a reversing grid rather than a complete specification of how positions are managed.

The text says the template is intended for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 and was generated with a visual strategy builder. It provides no grid spacing, exit rules, sizing plan, market conditions, backtest results, or live performance evidence. Without those details, the strategy’s exposure during sustained trends and its handling of accumulated positions cannot be assessed. Platform and template information explains implementation context, but does not establish profitability or risk control.

Key ideas

• The first grid position is opened with a market order.
• Later grid entries use pending limit orders.
• The direction alternates between buy and sell orders after the user selects the initial trade type.
• The document gives no grid spacing, exit logic, position sizing, or performance evidence.
