STRADDLE TRADE EXAMPLE:

AAPL had its earning report come out after hours on 1-18. it closed about 328 that day. Next day it opened 20 dollars higher.

You would have bought a call and put the day of the report
(18th), then you could have sold your call the next day and made a profit, kept the put in place and you would have actually made a profit on the put in 3 days also.
