Strap

The strap strategy is ideal for investors who are optimistic about both market volatility and an upward movement in the price of the underlying asset. This approach involves purchasing:

  • 1: Two at-the-money call options and
  • 2: One at-the-money put option.

All have the same underlying asset, strike prices and expiration dates.The strap is essentially a bullish variation of the standard Buy Straddle strategy. Significant profits can be achieved with the strap strategy when the price of the underlying asset experiences a substantial move in either direction by expiration. However, the strategy is particularly rewarding when the price rises sharply.

  • Investor View :Bullish on price direction and volatility of the underlying asset.
  • Potential Risk : Limited to the premium paid.
  • Potential Reward : Unlimited.
