Are you sure thats a straddle? If you buy a put and call at same strike your essentially buying a futures contract arent you? Or is that when you buy one and sell the other? Options are annoying as hell lol.
Yes, what I am describing is a straddle. I think what you are referring to is a bull and bear spread strategy.
