Use our scanner to evaluate DWM straddle pricing in real time and find the moments when expected moves are mispriced.
A long straddle on DWM profits from large moves in either direction and is a classic play into binary events like earnings, product announcements, or macro releases. A short straddle profits when WisdomTree International Equity Fund stays range-bound and implied volatility contracts. The breakeven points are simple: strike plus total premium on the upside, strike minus total premium on the downside. Comparing the DWM straddle price to historical realized moves helps you judge whether the market is overpaying or underpaying for volatility.
At least 95% of the fund's total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in component securities of the index and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of such component securities. The index is a fundamentally weighted index that is comprised of companies in the industrialized world, excluding Canada and the United States, that pay regular cash dividends. It is non-diversified.
Earnings, product cycles, macro prints — any time volatility itself is the trade, the DWM straddle is the cleanest expression of that view. Our scanner prices every DWM straddle against historical realized moves, flags expirations where the market is overpaying or underpaying for vol, and ranks setups by breakeven width and IV rank. Whether you're long a DWM straddle into a catalyst or short a DWM straddle to harvest decay, the options straddle setups that matter are all in one place.
