Straddle

The straddle is a strategy typical for investors who believe that the price of some stock will change significantly in the future. Strategy involves the simultaneous buying of put and call options on the same underlying stock, with the same strike price and same expiration date.

In case of significant price change, no matter whether it is an increase or decrease, the investor gains on the basis of one option (put or call). The worst situation for investor is that the price does not change. In that case, the investor loses the money he invested in options.
