Long Straddle strategy demands underlying to move significantly i.e., this is non direction strategy. In other words, if the underlying shows a significant move and closes above or below bought strike trade will gain significantly.
A straddle is a neutral options strategy that entails purchasing a put option and a call option with the same strike price and expiration date for the underlying investment. When the price of the security differs from the strike price by a sum greater than the whole premium paid, a trader will earn from a long straddle. As long as the price of the underlying asset fluctuates drastically, the profit potential is essentially limitless.
