Chapter 06 · Section 6.1

Trading

A trader, viewing a market as volatile, should:

a) buy option straddles.
• b) write option straddles.
  No. If the market is volatile, a trader writing both a call and a put will lose money. In a bull market, the trader will be obliged to deliver on the short call; in a bear market, on the short put.
