This tool allows the users to take the opposite side to a trading signal. For example, Signal provider A sends a signal in the following format:

EUR/USD Buy Market SL: 1.3400 TP: 1.4200

The system will reverse all the commands with the following trade being placed on your account:

EUR/USD Sell Market SL: 1.4200 TP: 1.3400

The trade will be displayed in the positions tab of your account with the system name and (R) beside it to denote a reversal trade.

The reversal trade function is particularly useful for a number of reasons:

1. The client is trading 2 systems that are similar in strategy, thus it can be deployed to “hedge” one strategy against the other if market conditions are not optimal for that strategy.
2. The client can use reversal trades in systems that have performed poorly in current market conditions.
   i.e. a System that trades in ranges when the market is in breakout, etc.
3. Can be used as a hedging tool against client’s own manual trading.

It is important to note that if a system loses 100 pips in a EURUSD trade and you have the reversal trade, your account will only show 97 pips profit (assuming 3pip spread), due to the fact that your entry is paying the spread to open:

• Signal Provider Sends Signal: Buy Market EURUSD SL: 1.3400 TP: 1.3500
• EURUSD is currently trading at 1.3450/1.3453

The primary trade will have this in place:

• Long EURUSD (ask) 1.3453, SL: 1.3400 TP: 1.3500.

If the trade is stopped out the client and performance record loses 53 pips. (1.3453-1.3400), the reversal trade will look like this:

• Short EURUSD (bid) 1.3450 SL: 1.3500 TP: 1.3400.

Another very important factor to note is the trade may be stopped out on the primary trade but TP not filled on the reversal as the bid might hit the Stop Loss, but the ask may not touch the Take Profit Level.

For example, in the above case if the EUR/USD low was 1.3399/1.3402, then the Stop Loss would be hit on the primary trade but the reversal would remain open, as the ask price (the quote on the right) did not touch the TP (Take Profit) level.
