Hindi Introduction

How Straddle Strategy Works
A Long Straddle profits when the stock moves significantly in either direction (high volatility). You buy ATM Call + Put. A Short Straddle profits when the stock stays stable (low volatility). You sell ATM Call + Put.
Profit = (Intrinsic Value of Call + Intrinsic Value of Put) - Total Premium PaidWhere:
- • Upper BE = Strike Price + Total Premium
- • Lower BE = Strike Price - Total Premium
- • Max Risk (Long) = Premium Paid
- • Max Reward (Long) = Unlimited
Long Straddle Example
Nifty is at 18,000. You buy 18000 CE at ₹100 and 18000 PE at ₹100. Total Cost = ₹200.\n\n• If Nifty goes to 18,500: CE is worth ₹500, PE is 0. Profit = ₹500 - ₹200 = ₹300.\n• If Nifty stays at 18,000: Both expire worthless. Loss = ₹200.
Strike: 18,000
Total Premium: ₹200
Breakevens: 17,800 & 18,200
Result: Profit beyond breakevens
