Current BTDR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $13.36, ATM IV 112.11%, IV rank 69.32%, expected move 32.14%. The straddle on BTDR 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 28-day expiry.
Why this straddle structure on BTDR specifically: BTDR IV at 112.11% 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 32.14% (roughly $4.29 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated BTDR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BTDR should anchor to the underlying notional of $13.36 per share and to the trader's directional view on BTDR stock.
BTDR straddle setup
The BTDR 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 BTDR near $13.36, the first option leg uses a $13.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BTDR chain at a 28-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 BTDR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $13.50 | $1.63 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $13.50 | $1.68 |

When traders use straddle on BTDR
Straddles on BTDR are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy BTDR straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.
BTDR thesis for this straddle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BTDR extends from approximately $9.07 on the downside to $17.65 on the upside. A BTDR 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 BTDR IV rank near 69.32% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the straddle thesis on BTDR should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, BTDR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BTDR-specific events.
BTDR 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. BTDR positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BTDR alongside the broader basket even when BTDR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current BTDR chain quotes before placing a trade.
