How are TTC 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 TTC straddle priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 30.10%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$1,107.52 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a TTC straddle?

The breakeven for the TTC straddle priced on this page is roughly $83.60 and $106.40 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current TTC market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 8.63%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

How does current TTC implied volatility affect this straddle?

TTC ATM IV is at 30.10% with IV rank near 2.35%, which is on the low end of its 1-year range. Premium-buying structures (long call, long put, debit spreads) are relatively cheap in this regime; premium-selling structures collect less credit per unit risk.

Current TTC snapshot

As of June 29, 2026, spot at $97.11, ATM IV 30.10%, IV rank 2.35%, expected move 8.63%. The straddle on TTC 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 81-day expiry.

Why this straddle structure on TTC specifically: TTC IV at 30.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a TTC straddle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.63% (roughly $8.38 on the underlying). The 81-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TTC expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TTC should anchor to the underlying notional of $97.11 per share and to the trader's directional view on TTC stock.

TTC straddle setup

The TTC 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 TTC near $97.11, the first option leg uses a $95.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TTC chain at a 81-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 TTC shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$95.00	$6.95
Buy 1	Put	$95.00	$4.45

When traders use straddle on TTC

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

TTC thesis for this straddle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TTC extends from approximately $88.73 on the downside to $105.49 on the upside. A TTC 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 TTC IV rank near 2.35% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on TTC at 30.10%. As a Industrials name, TTC options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TTC-specific events.

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