# Long Strangle
|
||||
|
||||
**Section**: 2.23 | **Asset Class**: Options | **Type**: Volatility
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
The long strangle is a volatility strategy consisting of a long position in an OTM call option with strike K1 and a long position in an OTM put option with strike K2 (K2 < K1). This is a net debit trade. Because both options are OTM, this strategy is less costly to establish than a long straddle. The flipside is that the move required to reach a breakeven point is more significant. The trader's outlook is neutral. This is a capital gain strategy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Construction
|
||||
- Buy 1 OTM call option at strike K1
|
||||
- Buy 1 OTM put option at strike K2 (K2 < K1), same expiry
|
||||
|
||||
Net debit: D
|
||||
|
||||
## Payoff Profile
|
||||
f_T = (S_T - K1)+ + (K2 - S_T)+ - D
|
||||
|
||||
- Upper breakeven: S*_up = K1 + D
|
||||
- Lower breakeven: S*_down = K2 - D
|
||||
- Max profit: P_max = unlimited (stock can move far in either direction)
|
||||
- Max loss: L_max = D (if K2 <= S_T <= K1 at expiry; both options expire worthless)
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Conditions / Signals
|
||||
- Neutral directional view; expects a very large move but uncertain of direction
|
||||
- Cheaper than a straddle but requires a larger price movement to profit
|
||||
- Ideal before high-impact events where an extreme move is anticipated
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
The maximum loss zone is the range [K2, K1] where both options expire worthless. The position is long vega and short theta. Compared to a straddle, the strangle is cheaper to enter but needs a bigger move to profit.
