A straddle is an option strategy where both a long and a short position is held in the same instrument, same
strike and same maturity. This strategy is profitable if a significant move happens before expiration in either direction.
This is a good strategy when you think that the underlying instrument will either drop or rise significantly.
There are two break-even
points, one below the strike and one above the strike.
If the price moves below the first point or above the second a profit can be realised.
