In Options, you can hedge the pricing speculation through the Multi leg order strategy. The Multi leg order allows the investor to buy and sell options contract simultaneously with the different or same strike price. These are advanced trading strategies. When the fluctuation in the price is clear, however, the direction is unclear; you can use the multi leg order strategy. There are different multi legged strategies such as straddle, strangle, ratio spread, and butterfly.
The Multi leg orders incur lesser cost compared to call-put or bid-ask orders. Let us assume you are buying an option contract of a stock at a strike price of Rs.1000 and simultaneously selling an option contract of the same stock at the same strike price of Rs.1000. On the date of expiry of contracts, the trading cost here for the multi leg order lesser compared to the bid-ask trade cost.
Understanding Multi leg order strategies:
Straddle: Straddle strategy involves buying a call and put options simultaneously at the same strike price with the same expiry date and underlying asset.
Strangle: Strangle strategy involves buying a call and put options at different strike prices with the same expiry date and underlying assets.
