Net-Debit

Trader’s Outlook:

Volatility

Description:

This is a volatility strategy consisting of a long position in an ITM call option with a strike price K1, and a long position in an ITM put option with a strike price K2 . This is a net debit trade. Since both call and put options are ITM, this strategy is more costly to establish than a long straddle position. The trader’s outlook is neutral. This is a capital gain strategy.
