Strap Option Strategy 

Strap Strategy is similar to Long Straddle, the only difference is the quantity traded. A trader will buy two Call Options and one Put Options. In this strategy, a trader is very bullish on the market and volatility on upside but wants to hedge himself in case the stock doesn’t perform as per his expectations. This strategy will make more profits compared to long straddle sin

Put Backspread Option Strategy

If the trader is bearish on market and bullish in volatility, he will implement this strategy. However the trader can be neutral in nature i.e. indifferent if the market moves in either of the direction, this strategy will make profits, but uptrend will give a capped income than downtrend which will give unlimited returns.
