Summary
1. When the stock in a straddle or strangle moves stagnant, we can:
1. Pick one side of the trade and add short options creating a calendar spread.
2. Sell to close the other side of the trade for as little loss a possible.
3. Keep both long options and short respective options against them creating
calendar spreads for both sides of the trade.
4. Treat the put side of the trade and the call side of the trade as two
completely different trades moving forward (each should now have its own
defined exit strategy.
2. Exercise patience in straddle and strangle trades. Give the stock a
chance to pick a direction.
3. Always keep track of our cost basis and how it changes as we roll
the option.
