How to Trade Straddles on Forex

The straddle strategy assumes simultaneous holding of long and short positions in the same security. Consider an example: a trader buys and sells calls and places options on the same underlying asset at a certain point in time. The duration and price of both options are identical.

Stop Recovery Country Trading Strategy

The straddle strategy template is pre-configured in the trading panel and may be 'extended' on top of your basic trading setup.

The panel will open a second order using the straddle technique when you trade on it. This is supposed to act as money recovery management where if your trade fails your straddle will activate and start a new trade in the opposite direction.

The goal is to turn lost deals into winning ones without exposing yourself to unnecessary risk. First, let's take a look at the recovery options for the straddle panel.

Portable mirror trade

Mirror trading is the easiest. In this case, a second trade in the opposite direction will be placed on the bar after your initial trade was placed, with a change in the entry price and stop loss. Your main trading stop will serve as the entry price for the straddle trade. So, if your initial trade is terminated, you will be able to open a straddle trade at the same time as your initial trade. Consider the following example.

Here we have targeted a deviation candlestick, a reversal candlestick pattern. I asked the panel to take the 50 percent retracement approach and set a stop below the low of the candle. A mirror straddle trade is a trade where you change the stop loss and entry prices of your original trade to make opposite bets in different directions.

This is an example of what happens when a trade fails and the candlestick pattern fails, resulting in a loss of money. You feel like throwing your computer out the window, but this is just a joke.

Depending on the nature of your target, you can partially recoup your losses with a straddle if the buy fails. As soon as a trade goes wrong, the market starts moving in the opposite direction. They are designed to take advantage of market movements after losing trades.
