Sometimes they even offer lucrative employment opportunities in forex trading. There are entire systems based on this style of trading. Some of them do nothing but place straddle orders all the time. Traders never care which way the markets will go, as long as they move. These kind of systems call for updating the orders every predetermined time interval. For example, once a day. This means that old orders/trades must be canceled/closed every day at the same time. That is when new orders are placed. People looking for mechanical trading strategies might find this approach suitable, since the same thing is done over and over again without any in depth analysis.

Due to London's dominance in the market, a particular currency's quoted price is usually the London market price.
