News Trading - Straddle Strategy

I love this thread, it's like seeing gladiators in the financial arena.

After seeing your experience, I confirm that I don't want to touch a straddle or a stick.

The straddle is not a strategy, it's a leap of faith.

Today the publication of GDP was a disaster for me. I filled an order and the price went against me instantly.

That's exactly what many of us here are warning.

Have you tried an ECN broker? Perhaps with faster execution the straddle will improve.

If you depend on the broker to make your system work, you've lost.

I've been on the news for a year and I've never found a way to make the straddle profitable.

Sometimes it's best to assume that we can't beat the pros in their own game.

My final tip: if you want excitement, stay with straddle. If you want money, find another strategy.
