High Volatility Strategies

Making profits in a volatile market no matter which direction it takes.

There are two strategies available on Nexo Options to generate profits in high volatility markets:

The key idea behind these strategies is that you are betting the price of an asset will rise or fall significantly in either direction.

When buying a Straddle or Strangle, the reasoning is:

“I don’t care what the price will be, but if it moves significantly in either direction during the period of holding the Straddle/Strangle, I win big.”

The main difference between the two is:

  • Straddle = ATM Call + ATM Put.

  • Strangle = OTM Call + OTM Put.

This means the Strangle is generally cheaper than the Straddle.
