Straddles and Combinations |
|
By: Thomas Demark
& Thomas Demark, Jr.
Options
straddles and combinations are a unique way of capitalizing
on market activity or market consolidation.
Straddles and combinations can be utilized
to make money if a trader feels the market will experience
a move, but is not certain as to the direction of
that move. They
can also be utilized to make money if one expects
the market to stabilize or consolidate over a specific
period of time.
Straddles and combinations are very similar.
A straddle
involves the simultaneous purchase of a call and a
put, or the simultaneous sale of a call and a put,
of the same security, strike price, and expiration
date; while a combination
involves simultaneous sale of a call and a put,
of the same security, but with different strike prices
and different expiration dates, or both different
strike prices and different expiration dates.
Unlike spreads, where four possible positions
can be taken, there are only two sides to straddles
and combinations, long and short.

|
|
By: Murray Ruggiero
The
following is an excerpt from Murray Ruggiero's Cybernetic
Trading Strategies
A trader does not have to be a statistical
genius, but he or she should have a basic understanding
of statistics that are descriptive of various properties
of the data being analyzed.
This article gives an overview of some of the
most important statistical concepts that traders should
understand.

Option
purchases and Vertical Debit Spreads - The strategies,
and converting to "Free Trades".
In
this article, we'll discuss the option purchase
and vertical debit spread strategies, and ways to
convert those positions to "Free Trades" under favorable
market conditions.
Option
purchases.
For
many traders, the first introduction to the world
of options is the simple concept of buying a call
or put. Depending on the market opinion, traders
will buy a call to benefit from a rise in the underlying
market, or buy a put to benefit from a decline (not
considering effects of time decay or changes in
implied volatility). If your conviction about market
direction is strong, you might be purchasing in-the-money
options, which will have a high "delta", and gain
a high percentage of what the underlying futures
would gain. To take a lighter position, out-of-the-money
options might be used which will have a lower delta,
and less risk if the market doesn't go your way.
And in the right situation when you think a good
move could be forthcoming, but you're uncertain
about direction, and implied volatility is cheap,
you can buy both puts and calls by purchasing long
straddles (same strike options) or strangles (different
strikes).
