Straddle Mode lets you create a Call + Put at the same strike in one tap from the Options Chain. It helps you quickly create a long straddle or short straddle without adding the CE and PE legs manually.
When you choose Add Buy or Add Sell on a strike, both CE and PE legs are added to your basket automatically. You can then review the order details, edit the legs if needed, and either execute or save the basket.
Follow the steps below to access Straddle Mode from the Options Chain, add both legs at the same strike, and review the basket before placing the order.
Tip: Choose actively traded strikes, set realistic limit prices, and review Funds req in the order window before placing.
Once placed, the legs are sent to the exchange sequentially in an order that requires lower margin.
If the straddle is not created, make sure Basket mode is turned on and you tapped Add Buy or Add Sell on a strike. If a leg stays pending, move the Limit price closer or switch to Market. If funds are insufficient, add funds and review the footer again.
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|---|
| I picked the wrong strike | Open the order window, delete both legs, and recreate the straddle at the correct strike. |
| I want a strangle instead | Edit each leg’s strike in the order window to shift the positions away from ATM and build a strangle. |
| One leg is pending or rejected | Adjust the Price or switch to Market. Check the rejection reason in Orders and retry. |
| Funds are insufficient | Tap Add funds, then confirm Funds req and Funds avl before placing the basket. |
| I want to execute later | Save the straddle to your basket and place it later when market conditions suit you. |
