short call is ITM, with a −1.00 delta. If the stock is above the upper
|
||||
breakeven of $76 (the call strike plus the premium), the trade is a loser. The
|
||||
higher the stock, the bigger the loss.
|
||||
Intuitively, the signs of the greeks of this strangle should be similar to
|
||||
those of a short straddle—negative gamma and vega, positive theta. That
|
||||
means that increased realized volatility hurts. Rising IV hurts. And time
|
||||
heals all wounds—unless, of course, the wounds caused by gamma are
|
||||
greater than the net premium received.
|
||||
This brings us to an important philosophical perspective that emphasizes
|
||||
the differences between long straddles and strangles and their short
|
||||
counterparts. Losses from rising vega are temporary; the time value of all
|
||||
options will be zero at expiration. But gamma losses can be permanent and
|
||||
profound. These short strategies have limited profit potential and unlimited
|
||||
loss potential. Although short-term profits (or losses) can result from IV
|
||||
changes, the real goal here is to capture theta.
