Foreverold you are correct,

It's difficult to delete orders. There should be a function in the expert to do that, if need be.

The Idea is, if markets are a tug of war between buyers and sellers then the best way to win is to go with the winning side. and the grid does a good job of making your win side heavy as the market moves in one direction.
But the trick is to judge the total possible swing of the market in a given time and stack the orders accordingly. Timing is Also crucial.

My wish is to help make such a grid that does all those calculations before stacking orders and having enough fail safes not to not take huge losses.

But given that I am not a programmer, it's an up hill battle.
