A long straddle on EART 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 Global X Rare Earth & Critical Materials ETF 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 EART straddle price to historical realized moves helps you judge whether the market is overpaying or underpaying for volatility.
DMAT tracks an index of global stocks that produce metals and other raw materials essential to the expansion of disruptive technologies. Disruptive Materials Companies derive at least 50% of their revenues from the exploration, mining, production and/or enhancement of one or more of 10 materials categories that include Rare Earth Materials, Lithium, Copper, Carbon Fiber, etc. Stocks not meeting the revenue requirements are considered after review and recognized as Pre-Revenue Disruptive Materials Companies. In the case of Lithium, stocks with associated revenue between 25-50% are also eligible as Diversified Lithium Companies.
The fund uses a natural language processing algorithm to identify and rank stocks. The five highest-ranked Disruptive Materials and Pre-Revenue Disruptive Materials Companies per materials category are selected. The fund employs a modified market-cap weighting scheme for diversification. The index is reconstituted and rebalanced semi-annually.
Earnings, product cycles, macro prints — any time volatility itself is the trade, the EART straddle is the cleanest expression of that view.

Whether you're long a EART straddle into a catalyst or short a EART straddle to harvest decay, the options straddle setups that matter are all in one place.
