ORR Straddle Strategy
ORR (Militia Long/Short Equity ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management industry), listed on NASDAQ.
ORR is an actively managed ETF aiming for capital appreciation through both long and short equity positions. The long portfolio targets undervalued or growth potential equities, with a focus on developed markets. Long positions may exceed 100% of net assets, capped typically at 150%. Short positions focus on U.S.-listed companies and ETFs expected to decline, influenced by declining future cash flow projections. ORR can have short exposure up to 100% and may include inverse or leveraged ETFs. The fund actively trades positions, resulting in high annual portfolio turnover.
ORR (Militia Long/Short Equity ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $36.0M, a beta of 0.09 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 27.74-39.39, average daily share volume of 274K, a public-listing history dating back to 2007. These structural characteristics shape how ORR etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.09 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.
Current ORR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $36.59, ATM IV 21.80%, expected move 6.25%. The straddle on ORR below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this straddle structure on ORR specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for ORR is inferred from ATM IV at 21.80% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.25% (roughly $2.29 on the underlying). The 34-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 $36.59 per share and to the trader's directional view on ORR etf.
ORR straddle setup
The ORR straddle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ORR near $36.59, the first option leg uses a $37.00 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 34-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 | $37.00 | $0.88 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $37.00 | $1.13 |

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 $34.30 on the downside to $38.88 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. 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.
