What is a straddle on FIG?
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.
FIG snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $25.43, ATM IV 68.40%, IV rank 41.34%, expected move 19.61%. The straddle on FIG 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 28-day expiry.
Why this straddle structure on FIG specifically: FIG IV at 68.40% 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 19.61% (roughly $4.99 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 FIG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FIG should anchor to the underlying notional of $25.43 per share and to the trader's directional view on FIG stock.
FIG straddle setup
The FIG 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 FIG at $25.43 on that close, the first option leg uses a $25.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FIG 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 FIG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $25.50 | $1.95 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $25.50 | $1.88 |

When traders use straddle on FIG
Straddles on FIG are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy FIG straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.
FIG thesis for this straddle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FIG extends from approximately $20.44 on the downside to $30.42 on the upside. A FIG 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 FIG IV rank near 41.34% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the straddle thesis on FIG should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, FIG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FIG-specific events.
FIG 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. FIG positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FIG alongside the broader basket even when FIG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FIG chain quotes before placing a trade.
