How are TDG 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 TDG straddle priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 30.30%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$8,424.93 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a TDG straddle?

The breakeven for the TDG straddle priced on this page is roughly $1,064.60 and $1,235.40 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums.

Current TDG snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $1,145.39, ATM IV 30.30%, IV rank 36.36%, expected move 8.69%. The straddle on TDG 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 TDG specifically: TDG IV at 30.30% 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 8.69% (roughly $99.50 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 TDG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TDG should anchor to the underlying notional of $1,145.39 per share and to the trader's directional view on TDG stock.

TDG straddle setup

The TDG 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 TDG near $1,145.39, the first option leg uses a $1,150.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TDG 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 TDG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$1,150.00	$43.95
Buy 1	Put	$1,150.00	$41.45

When traders use straddle on TDG

Straddles on TDG are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy TDG straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.

TDG thesis for this straddle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TDG extends from approximately $1,045.89 on the downside to $1,244.89 on the upside. A TDG 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 TDG IV rank near 36.36% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the straddle thesis on TDG should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Industrials name, TDG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TDG-specific events.

TDG 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. TDG positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TDG alongside the broader basket even when TDG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current TDG chain quotes before placing a trade.
