EA Straddle Trader

Operation Principle

The EA places two stop orders (BuyStop and SellStop) with preset stop loss and take profit at a specified distance from the price and within specified time. Stop orders are repositioned every time after a new candle opens (frequency of stop orders repositioning directly depends on the time frame of the chart where the EA is installed; a minute time frame is usually used to avoid false triggering of an order; it also depends on the applied strategy). Pending orders will be repositioning relatively to the price until one of two orders triggers or until both orders are deleted at a specified moment.

After one of pending orders opens, the other one is automatically deleted. Then the EA keeps working with the open order: it changes the StopLoss level according to trailing settings to make the order move to breakeven and close in profit by the StopLoss level or the specified TakeProfit.
