The Double Whammy Strangle Payoff
We entered a Long position on both the Call and Put for a strangle spread on July 7th. Here is an example of how well a “strangle” position can pay off – when carrying the debit. The key is making sure you are out beyond the 30 day cycle to have a sufficient buffer.
Take Away – We’ll close our position – take profits off the table and then reposition for the after hours earnings report – covering with a Short Call and Long Put for a three day hold.
