What is the SILVER straddle price?
A straddle is buying (or selling) the call and the put of the same strike and expiry. The SILVER straddle price here is the at-the-money (ATM) call premium plus the ATM put premium for the nearest expiry. The ATM strike is the one closest to the current futures price, so it moves as SILVER moves.
How to read this chart

- Straddle rising: the market is moving sharply or volatility is rising, which usually suits option buyers.
- Small sudden jumps happen when the ATM strike changes as SILVER crosses into a new strike.
- Synthetic future = strike + call − put: where the options market prices SILVER.
