StraddleOptionStrategy

class sigtech.framework.strategies.options_baskets.StraddleOptionStrategy

Baseclasses: OptionsStrategyBase

A strategy that takes the same position in both a call option and a put option with the same expiration and strike price.

A long straddle strategy buys both a call option and a put option. This generally profits if the stock price increase or decrease, or if volatility increases.

A short straddle strategy sells both a call option and a put option. This generally profits if the stock price and volatility remain steady.

Parameters are the same as in the base OptionsStrategyBase strategy.

Additional attributes:

• strike: The price at which the options contract can be exercised. For FX can be also 'ATM+/-XX%' if strike_type is set to ATM type ('SPOT', 'FWD', or 'DN').

• group_name: Name of the option group to trade options for.

• exercise_type: 'European' or 'American'. Optional, if omitted, group default is used.
