What is a Strangle?
A Strangle is an options strategy that involves holding a position in both a call and a put with different strike prices but with the same expiration date and underlying asset.
- Long Strangle: You buy an out-of-the-money call and an out-of-the-money put. It profits from large price movements in either direction.
- Short Strangle: You sell an out-of-the-money call and an out-of-the-money put. It profits when the stock price remains stable between the strikes.
What is a Straddle?
A Straddle is similar to a strangle but involves buying (or selling) a call and a put with the same strike price and expiration date.
- Long Straddle: Benefits from significant volatility in either direction. Requires a larger move than a strangle to be profitable because the cost (premium paid) is higher.
- Short Straddle: Profits if the stock price remains very close to the strike price at expiration.
