What is Multi Straddle/Strangle in Options Analytics?

Multi Straddle/Strangle lets you track the combined premium value of selected straddle or strangle strategies over time for a chosen underlying and expiry.

Unlike Auto ATM Straddle, this chart allows you to manually select strikes, compare how their combined premiums evolve, and optionally Buy or Sell (B/S) the strategy from the kebab menu.

What does the Multi Straddle/Strangle chart show?

The chart plots multiple data points on the same timeline:

  • Straddle / Strangle value (Y-axis) — Combined premium of the selected Call + Put legs
  • Underlying price
  • VWAP (optional)

Important: The Y-axis always represents the Straddle or Strangle premium, not price or IV.

How are strategies selected?

You can manually create strategies by choosing strikes from the Option Chain.

Example:

  • Straddle: 26000 CE + 26000 PE
  • Strangle: 25800 PE + 26200 CE

Once selected, the chart tracks the total premium movement of each strategy over time.

How to use Multi Straddle/Strangle effectively?

This tool is commonly used to:

  • Compare premium decay across different strike combinations
  • Track the volatility behaviour of custom strategies
  • Evaluate which straddle or strangle is losing or gaining value faster
  • Decide entry or exit timing for multi-leg strategies

Practical example:

  • If the straddle value is steadily declining → Indicates time decay/volatility contraction
  • If the strangle value spikes → Indicates volatility expansion or directional move

Chart controls available

  • Time period: Intraday
  • Resolution: 1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour
  • Expiry: Options expiry
  • Multiple strategies: Compare more than one straddle/strangle

What if the values look unexpected?

  • Check if different strikes are being compared
  • Confirm the expiry
  • Ensure you’re reading the strategy value, not the underlying price
  • Sudden drops or spikes usually reflect volatility changes or leg imbalance

Important points to note

  • The Y-axis always shows the Straddle/Strangle premium
  • Strategy value may jump when one leg becomes dominant
  • Strike selection directly impacts behaviour
  • Best used with IV, OI, and price analytics
