Answer: Strangle
A **strangle** is similar to a straddle but uses out-of-the-money options, so it generally costs **less** than a straddle. - It still expresses a **long volatility** view. - It has the potential for a **large, uncapped payoff** if the stock makes a strong move. - Because the strike prices are farther apart, the initial cost is lower than that of a straddle. The strap and strip are typically more expensive than a straddle because they add an extra call or put, respectively. A reverse butterfly spread is not the correct choice here.
