Multi-expiry straddle price comparison
Multi-Straddle Price plots ATM straddle cost across several expiries at once, separating term-structure effects from single-expiry noise.
When near-term straddles price above farther expiries, event risk is concentrated in the front week — the core read this chart exists for.
Workflow: compare ATM straddle cost across expiries to locate where the market concentrates event risk — the expiry whose straddle prices richest relative to its neighbors is the one carrying the event. Then watch whether that hump deflates early or holds into the final hours, which separates priced-in events from genuinely feared ones.
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.
