in realized volatility. The rise in IV did indeed occur, but not immediately.

By Tuesday of the second week, vega profits were overshadowed by theta
|
||||
losses.
|
||||
Gamma was the saving grace with this trade. The bulk of the gain
|
||||
occurred in week two when the Fed announcement was made. Once that
|
||||
event passed, the prospects for covering theta looked less attractive. They
|
||||
were further dimmed by the sharp drop in implied volatility from 40 to 30.
|
||||
In this hypothetical scenario, the trade ended up profitable. This is not
|
||||
always the case. Here the profit was chiefly produced by one or two high-
|
||||
volatility days. Had the stock not been unusually volatile during this time,
|
||||
the trade would have been a certain loser. Even though implied volatility
|
||||
had risen four points by Tuesday of the second week, the trade did not yield
|
||||
a profit. The time decay of holding two options can make long straddles a
|
||||
tough strategy to trade.
