Multi-expiry straddle price comparison
Multi-Straddle Price compares combined call and put premiums across selected straddle configurations and expiries. The timelines help examine how the cost of movement differs between contracts during the same session.
Check strikes, expiry dates and whether selections roll with spot before comparing lines. A higher premium may reflect more time, different moneyness or event exposure. Compare like-for-like configurations and time to expiry; the highest-priced line alone does not identify a mispriced event or profitable spread.
What does a multi-straddle chart show?
ATM straddle cost across several expiries simultaneously, so the volatility term structure is visible in one view — which expiry is richest, which is cheapest, and how the curve reshapes as events approach and pass.
How do you read straddle term structure?
Normally longer expiries cost more (more time, more uncertainty). Inversions — near expiry pricier than farther — signal concentrated event risk in the front week. After the event passes, the front expiry deflates and the curve normalizes; failure to deflate means the market still expects movement.
