Long Strangle
Long Strangle is a strategy to be used when the investor is Neutral on the market direction and bullish on
volatility.
This strategy involves buying an “Out-of-the-Money Call Option” and buying an “Out-of-the-Money Put
Option”. Both options must have the same underlying security and expiration month.
Long Strangle is a slight modification to the Long Straddle to make it cheaper to execute.
The investor makes profit when the underlying makes significant movement on the upside or downside. The
strategy has limited downside.
Investor view: Neutral on direction but bullish on volatility of the Stock/ Index.
Reward: Unlimited.
