{quote} Short ladder is same az long put option,right ?
Exactly. The price of the ladder varies between 0 and 100. When you sell at 90 you get the premium and your max risk could be 10 (100-90). The ladder settles at 100 if the price of the underlying is above the strike at the expiry or at 0 if the price is below the strike. If you want to trade an increase of the volatility you can structure a straddle by buying a ladder with a strike above the current market price and selling a ladder with a strike below the market. Ladders are good when you expect sharp moves within the next 30 to 60 minutes. You can profit 35 pips out of a 10 to 20 pips price move of the underlying.

Actually I close the ladders in 3 or 4 parts, but if I show all the trades it could get too complicated. These are average price.
I had a position in EURUSD but it was much more complicated and it is not a good idea to present it.

In general Yes, buy actually Not exactly. The volatility priced in the options before the London fix is higher and you need a larger price move. Before the London open it is much easier and cheaper.

Very good example for STE at 20 EMA traded via 1-minute binary call. Quotes confirm the set up.
