Selling straddle is the exact opposite of buying a straddle. Instead of buying a call and put option at the same strike price, the investor instead sells a call and put option the same strike price. When selling a put, you profit when the price is above the break even price (strike-premium collected). When selling a call, you profit when the price is below the break even price (strike-premium collected). When selling a straddle therefore, you profit when the price is above the call break even price and below the put break even price.
Price is above the put break even price and below the call break even price: Profit! Maximum profit is at the strike price.

But nothing good is going to happen if you will enter it without right knowledge about it.
