Addendum
<<<What about itm, is it possible for both the put and the appointment of the straddle to become auto-exercised?>>>
No. By definition both stirke prices and expiration dates are very same in a straddle. If a put and a christen have alike strike price they cannot both be in the money.
I'll append one more article. You can override an automatic exercise. You can tell your broker not to exercise an pick even if it is in the money at expiration.
It is unachievable for both a call and put to be exercised, no. As one responder have already said, the options have to be ITM at least $.05 for an exercise to ensue. If you are straddling at $55, let's say, and the stock closes at $54, next your put will exercise and you'll be short at $55, while the call is worthless.
With straddles, because of the large value of time, it is best to exit the profitable side (or both sides!) powerfully before expiration. You will thieve in more money selling the option, rather than exercising, so long as you are out near at least few weeks to turn.
Would it be smart to buy a considerable carat Tanzanite as an investment?
Straddles and other multi-leg strategies are not evaluated for auto-exercise. Each option is checked individually and the in-the-money option are auto-exercised. You could have a situation where on earth you lost money on the strategy overall, but still get exercised on one sector.
