Involves buying a put option and a call option with the same strike price and expiration date, and selling the underlying asset. This strategy is similar to a traditional long straddle, but it uses put options instead of call options to create the synthetic position.
Description
The goal of this strategy is to profit from significant price movements in either direction. If the underlying asset’s price increases significantly, the call option will expire in the money and offset the loss from the put option expiring out of the money. If the underlying asset’s price decreases significantly, the put option will expire in the money and offset the loss from the call option expiring out of the money.

Sweetspot

Max profit

Max loss
is the total premium paid for the position, which is the cost of the call and put options.
