ORR Straddle Strategy
ORR (Militia Long/Short Equity ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management industry), listed on NASDAQ.
The Militia Long/Short Equity ETF, identified by the symbol ORR, is an actively managed investment vehicle designed to achieve capital appreciation. It employs a dual strategy, taking both long and short positions in equities. For its long-term holdings, the fund primarily focuses on stocks in developed markets that are either deemed undervalued or possess substantial growth potential. ORR has the flexibility to commit capital exceeding 100% of its net asset value to these long positions, typically up to a maximum of 150%. Conversely, its short selling strategy concentrates on U.S.-listed companies and exchange-traded funds whose valuations are anticipated to decline, often driven by unfavorable future cash flow projections. The fund can allocate up to 100% of its portfolio to short exposures and may utilize instruments like inverse or leveraged ETFs within this segment.
ORR (Militia Long/Short Equity ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $37.9M, a beta of 0.03 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 30.655-39.8, average daily share volume of 123K, a public-listing history dating back to 2025. These structural characteristics shape how ORR etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.03 indicates ORR has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure.
What is a straddle on ORR?
A long straddle buys an ATM call and an ATM put at the same strike, profiting from a large move in either direction; max loss equals the combined debit when the underlying pins to the strike at expiration.
ORR snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $38.61, ATM IV 13.80%, IV rank 2.76%, expected move 3.96%. The straddle on ORR below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this straddle structure on ORR specifically: ORR IV at 13.80% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a ORR straddle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 3.96% (roughly $1.53 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ORR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ORR should anchor to the underlying notional of $38.61 per share and to the trader's directional view on ORR etf.
ORR straddle setup
The ORR straddle below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ORR at $38.61 on that close, the first option leg uses a $39.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ORR chain at a 35-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 ORR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $39.00 | $0.45 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $39.00 | $0.93 |

When traders use straddle on ORR
Straddles on ORR are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy ORR straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.
ORR thesis for this straddle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ORR extends from approximately $37.08 on the downside to $40.14 on the upside. A ORR long straddle is a pure-volatility play: it profits when the underlying moves far enough from the strike in either direction to overcome the combined call plus put debit, regardless of direction. Current ORR IV rank near 2.76% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on ORR at 13.80%. As a Financial Services name, ORR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ORR-specific events.
ORR straddle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. ORR positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ORR alongside the broader basket even when ORR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ORR chain quotes before placing a trade.
