What is a straddle on BOT?
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.
BOT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $31.83, ATM IV 119.00%, IV rank 63.87%, expected move 34.12%. The straddle on BOT below is built from the 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 BOT specifically: BOT IV at 119.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 34.12% (roughly $10.86 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 BOT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BOT should anchor to the underlying notional of $31.83 per share and to the trader's directional view on BOT stock.
BOT straddle setup
The BOT 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 BOT at $31.83 on that close, the first option leg uses a $31.83 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BOT 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 BOT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |

| Buy 1 | Put | $31.83 | N/A |

Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the strike minus the combined call plus put debit (reached at zero). Max loss equals the combined debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins to the strike). Two breakevens at strike plus debit and strike minus debit.

When traders use straddle on BOT
Straddles on BOT are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy BOT straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.
BOT thesis for this straddle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BOT extends from approximately $20.97 on the downside to $42.69 on the upside. A BOT 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 BOT IV rank near 63.87% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the straddle thesis on BOT should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, BOT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BOT-specific events.
BOT 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. BOT positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BOT alongside the broader basket even when BOT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current BOT chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a straddle on BOT?
- A straddle on BOT is the straddle strategy applied to BOT (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium): 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. With BOT stock at $31.83 on the most recent close, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed BOT chain strike and the premiums come straight from that session's bid/ask midpoint.
- How are BOT straddle max profit and max loss calculated?
- Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the strike minus the combined call plus put debit (reached at zero). Max loss equals the combined debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins to the strike). Two breakevens at strike plus debit and strike minus debit. For the BOT straddle priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 119.00%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is unbounded per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a BOT straddle?
- The breakeven for the BOT straddle priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve at expiration, derived from the end-of-day chain's premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The BOT market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move in the same options snapshot is approximately 34.12%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
- When should you consider a straddle on BOT?
- Straddles on BOT are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy BOT straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.
- How does current BOT implied volatility affect this straddle?
- BOT ATM IV is at 119.00% with IV rank near 63.87%, which is mid-range against its 1-year history. Strategy selection depends more on directional thesis and expected move than on a strong IV signal.
