Straddle year to expiry: After 50 days, the P/L graph of the straddle will look as follows (blue line): The P/L blue graph is "negative" at prices from approximately 84 to 107 dollars (these are the break-even points), which means that in order for the strategy to be profitable after 50 days, the stock price should be either higher than 107 dollars or lower than 84 dollars. As time goes by, due to time decay, the straddle P/L graph goes down (and becomes more and more unprofitable), until it reaches the orange line (which is the P/L of the straddle at
