Which is why I think it was made as a different strategy. As you noted, it could be dangerous on the same strategy. But you don't want to be limited to what you can do. I use the breakthrough strategy as a strangle. For those moments when the markets is gonna explode but you don't know which way.
Booktrader was a disaster waiting to happen last time I used it, especially the drag/drop functionality LOL. I'm sure a few more iterations will make it more usable and robust. In the mean time there is Buttontrader.... MoMoney.
