Double Red Strategy

The double red strategy is a binary options trading strategy that aims to catch a short-term bearish movement on an asset. A double red indicator is composed of two successive red candles where the second red candle closes lower than the bottom shadow of the first candle.

These two bearish candles must appear after price hits resistance following an uptrend.

How To Trade The Double Red Strategy

Start by identifying the resistance levels on the weekly and daily charts. On the five minute charts you will be playing off of your long term resistance lines, if none are close by then you may have to look for potential short term resistance levels.

Then, when price hits your resistance level wait for two red candles. If the second black candle closes lower than the previous two candles you have a signal to trade a put or lower option with an expiry of up to 15 minutes.
