Buy an out-of-the-money call and an out-of-the-money put. Costs less than a straddle but needs a bigger move: breakevens sit beyond each strike by the total premium.

Underlying (optional)

Common questions

Strangle vs straddle?
A strangle uses OTM strikes: lower cost and lower max loss, but the stock must travel further before either side pays.
What is the max loss on a strangle?
The total premium paid for both options, if the stock finishes between the strikes.
What moves a strangle's value before expiry?
Implied volatility and time: rising IV helps both legs; time decay hurts both, fastest near expiry.

Educational model, not trade advice. Options involve substantial risk and are not suitable for every investor — read the OCC’s Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. Model values use Black-Scholes with your inputs (constant volatility, European exercise, no dividends) and will differ from live market prices.

Research and education only — not financial advice. TENKis not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer and gives no personalized advice. Every call is impersonal — identical for all users, generated on a schedule from SEC filings plus a delayed/third-party price feed — may be wrong or out of date, and is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. The operator and an affiliated trading operation may hold or trade the securities TENK rates; see Disclosures. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Do your own research.
