1 Long Straddles and Strangles: Setup, Risks, and Uses Disclaimer Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling options, an investor must receive a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, sent to you in previous communication. Additional copies may be obtained by calling TRADEKING at KING visiting or by downloading the file in the pop-up window on your screen. Multiple leg options strategies involve additional risks and multiple commissions, and may result in complex tax treatments. Please consult a tax advisor. Any strategies discussed and examples using actual securities and price data are strictly for illustrative and educational purposes only and are not to be construed as an endorsement, recommendation, or solicitation to buy or sell securities. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Consider the following when making an investment decision: your financial situation, your risk profile and transaction costs. System response and access times may vary due to market conditions, system performance, and other factors. The projections or other information generated by TradeKing's tools regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results. Market timing is a complex investment strategy which involves risk and may incur additional commission costs. 1

12 Long Straddles and Strangles: Setup, Risks, and Uses Long Straddle & Strangle Criteria Long Straddle & Strangle Criteria 1. Expiration (2 to 10) days out. Around a known event. 2. Decide either to do a Straddle or a Strangle. I. Opt for a straddle only if the underlying is within $.25 of a strike line. The straddle will cost more then a strangle, but will break-even with a smaller move and will have less chance of a 100% loss. II. Choose a strangle if it is more then $.25 away from a strike. Beware, it will cost less then a straddle, but will require a bigger move in the underlying to break-even and will have a higher probability of a 100% loss. (Must Expect a BIG move in a short period of time!) 24 12
13 Long Straddle & Strangle Criteria 3) Open Interest equal to 30 times the number of contracts you are trading. (for each leg) 4) Calculate the OSDM of the underlying. 5) Calculate the Distance to the Break-Even points (DBE) I. It is equal to the debit paid for the trade if it is a straddle. II. Add the cost of the trade to the call strike for the upper break-even and subtract the cost of the trade from the put strike for the lower break-even. 25 Long Straddle & Strangle Criteria 6) The OSDM should be greater then or equal to the DBE. 7) Review the last few earnings events that occurred on the stock and see if the underlying has ever made a 1 ½ times the One Standard Deviation Move (OSDM). If it hasn t don t do the trade. (cost of straddle if few days left) 8) Set a profit value and a loss value for the trade and be diligent about exiting when your target prices are realized
14 Things to Think About If only a few days remaining to expiration and ATM, the cost of the straddle should be close to the OSDM. Probability of Success Low Probability of underlying making more then a OSDM. Straddles are more enticing the Strangles. Less of a move to breakeven and a low likelihood of losing your entire investment. Gamma is the Greek that causes a straddle to accelerate. High Gamma means high Theta. Maximum profit is unlimited. Don t risk too much Low probability of success. If longer term - strangles okay - still not a big fan. 27 Upcoming Webinars Thursday, June 2 at 5pm ET Adjusting Credit Spreads, part 2 with Dan Sheridan of Sheridan Options Mentoring Tuesday, June 7 at 5pm ET Trading Performance with NASDAQ OMX Alpha Index Options with Paul Jiganti of NASDAQ OMX Tuesday, June 14 at 1pm ET How to Choose Your Strategy, part 1: Your Outlook on Direction and News with Nicole Wachs of TradeKing Tuesday, June 14 at 5pm ET Using TradeKing s Option Scanner with Jack Walker of ivolatility 14
