ForexHero allows users to trade in both bull and bear markets with long and short strategies. Bots supports both directions but each bot is configured to trade in either Long or Short. To trade both directions with the same settings another bot must be used (Check out ). You may make a copy of a bot and change the strategy to trade an asset in both directions.

What is a Long strategy
