A Straddle chart is a graphical representation that displays the price movement of a straddle option strategy. It shows how the option's value changes in response to market price fluctuations, allowing traders to analyze potential profit or loss scenarios.

Straddle is an Options strategy that involves buying and selling of either call or put of the same strike price and of the same expiry date.

How to use

Traders can see the Straddle price of the Index as well as Stocks also. For eg, If the Nifty/Stock Spot price chart is in Range bound. If there is no volatility then Shorting the Straddle is a good option for traders.
Let's say, if there is a big movement either upside or downside, then Long Straddle can be beneficial because either side CE or PE premiums will shoot up one way. So analysing the Spot chart, traders can make decisions either to buy the straddle or sell the straddle.
