Straddle & Strangle Option Strategies
The straddle is a widely known technique and it has proven itself to be a moneymaker when executed properly.
The key to the straddle is taking the same strike price for each option - which should be as close to the stock’s current price as you can get. One straddle equals one put plus one call. Ideally, you want both the put and the call to be right at the money or one of the options to be only slightly in the money.
A strangle is set up just like a straddle: You buy one put and one call. And you buy them for the same expiration month. The difference is in the strike prices.
To set up a strangle, you avoid the expensive at-the-money or close-to-the-money strike prices and go for an out-of-the-money one.
