How are TRI 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 TRI straddle priced from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 48.50%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$1,228.48 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a TRI straddle?

The breakeven for the TRI straddle priced on this page is roughly $92.65 and $117.35 at expiration, derived from the August 14, 2026 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 TRI market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move in the same options snapshot is approximately 13.90%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

TRI snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $103.50, ATM IV 48.50%, IV rank 59.58%, expected move 13.90%. The straddle on TRI 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 35-day expiry.

Why this straddle structure on TRI specifically: TRI IV at 48.50% 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 13.90% (roughly $14.39 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 TRI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TRI should anchor to the underlying notional of $103.50 per share and to the trader's directional view on TRI stock.

TRI straddle setup

The TRI 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 TRI at $103.50 on that close, the first option leg uses a $105.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TRI 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 TRI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$105.00	$5.25
Buy 1	Put	$105.00	$7.10

When traders use straddle on TRI

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

TRI thesis for this straddle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TRI extends from approximately $89.11 on the downside to $117.89 on the upside. A TRI 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 TRI IV rank near 59.58% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the straddle thesis on TRI should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Industrials name, TRI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TRI-specific events.

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