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