Straddle Break-Even Points

Asked at:Akuna CapitalOptiver

Problem

You buy a straddle on a stock:

  • Long 1 call at strike $100, costing $4.00
  • Long 1 put at strike $100, costing $2.50

How far does the stock price need to move from the strike (in either direction) for you to break even at expiration?

Enter the break-even distance as a decimal rounded to 4 decimal places.

Constraints

  • Strike K = $100
  • Call premium = $4.00, Put premium = $2.50
  • Output the break-even distance (total premium) rounded to 4 decimal places
