    are you asking about hedging your position to be delta neutral?

    basically, if your long a ATM straddle and the underlying moves up, you sell some underlying. if it moves down you buy the underlying
     
  3. yes you're right

    However when we're waiting for one leg to be profitable , theta will decay from day to day.....

    There's a lot article for gamma trading / hedging
    but i listen to Optionuniversity webinar from Ron ianeri
    he said to minimize theta loss , gamma trading will help
