Assume some currency pair is traded with a 1 pip spread. Now I place two orders at the same time: 1) a buy limit order to buy at 0.2 pips above the current highest bid and 2) a sell limit order at 0.2 pip below the current lowest ask. Assuming the two will get filled within a few seconds, I will make 0.6 pips (minus commissions around 0.4 pips).

Is this a viable strategy? It is possible that some market maker will their limit orders at a more attractive price than me, but then my orders will still get filled, after their orders, and I'll still make the profit. So what's the catch here?
