HAPS (HAPS) Straddle

Trading a HAPS straddle lets you take a pure volatility position on HAPS without committing to a direction. HAPS's straddle involves buying (or selling) a call and a put at the same strike and expiration, profiting when the stock moves more (or less) than the combined premium implies. Use our scanner to evaluate HAPS straddle pricing in real time and find the moments when expected moves are mispriced.

A long straddle on HAPS 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 HAPS 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 HAPS straddle price to historical realized moves helps you judge whether the market is overpaying or underpaying for volatility.

Earnings, product cycles, macro prints — any time volatility itself is the trade, the HAPS straddle is the cleanest expression of that view. Our scanner prices every HAPS 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 HAPS straddle into a catalyst or short a HAPS straddle to harvest decay, the options straddle setups that matter are all in one place.
