Combined, the long call and the synthetic long put (long call plus short
|
||||
stock) creates a synthetic straddle. A long synthetic straddle could have
|
||||
similarly been constructed with a long put and a long synthetic call (long
|
||||
put plus long stock). Furthermore, a short synthetic straddle could be
|
||||
created by selling an option with its synthetic pair.
|
||||
Notice the similarities between the greeks of the two positions. The
|
||||
synthetic straddle functions about the same as a conventional straddle.
|
||||
Because the delta and gamma are nearly the same, the up-and-down risk is
|
||||
nearly the same. Time and volatility likewise affect the two trades about the
|
||||
same. The only real difference is that the synthetic straddle might require a
|
||||
bit more cash up front, because it requires buying or shorting the stock. In
|
||||
practice, straddles will typically be traded in accounts with retail portfolio
|
||||
margining or professional margin requirements (which can be similar to
|
||||
retail portfolio margining). So the cost of the long stock or margin for short
|
||||
stock is comparatively small.
