Ratio Calendar Combination

An option strategy in which one conducts two calendar spreads, one with calls and one with puts. A calendar spread is the simultaneous purchase and sale of calls or puts with the same strike price but with different expiration dates. A ratio calendar combination (like a calendar spread itself) seeks to profit from price movements in underlying asset.
