description: "$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$Apple(AAPL.US)$Proshares UltraPro QQQ(TQQQ.US)I have a thought to discuss with everyone. During extremely volatile periods, simultaneously buying short-term (around 7 days) cheap call and put options is equivalent to betting heavily on volatility. For example, before Trump announces specific tariff details, before a White House closed-door meeting, or before the Fed speaks, buying both calls and puts at these junctures. If the market experiences a significant drop or surge, you can abandon the options in the other direction, with a maximum loss of only one times the option price, while the potential gain in the other direction could be several times. I believe this approach is more reward than risk. Moreover, if you were to buy the actual stocks, it would be harder to cut losses quickly during such high-volatility days, potentially leading to instant entrapment. Therefore, buying both calls and puts actually limits the risk to just one times the option price. Of course, if the market shows no reaction to the meeting or event, you might incur some loss from volatility decay, but you can choose to sell in time, limiting the loss to less than one times the option price. After careful consideration, I think this is a great profit strategy during periods of extreme volatility. Welcome to discuss."

- **神不存在 · 2025-04-10T06:18:29.000Z**: Double straddle, but the IV was particularly high at that time, once there's no big volatility it's a double loss
  - **NobodycareS** (2025-04-10T07:31:38.000Z): So I think it's only necessary to operate at such critical junctures.
- **[已注销] · 2025-04-10T05:11:30.000Z**: That's called straddle and strangle
- ***烟火声* · 2025-04-10T04:38:59.000Z**: Okay
- **AkiWang · 2025-04-10T04:28:39.000Z**: What you're describing is a straddle options strategy.
  - **新用户_ptN9LM** (2025-04-10T04:31:28.000Z): Indeed, classic double buy, long volatility.
- **交易小能手 · 2025-04-10T04:26:51.000Z**: Feeling good
