RE: [ConservativeOptionStrategies] if I sell a put and a call at the money

If you sell a put and a call ATM, how do you profit?

That's a short straddle trade. You profit from the proceeds of selling the
options. You are "betting" on a neutral market with little to no movement.
A short straddle had unlimited risk.

Good luck.
