A good note from Triffin (Jim) on combos/straddles:

btw for the QQQ ..
here's a combo trade .. out-of-the money

long 4/36 put @ 1.30
long 4/38 call @ 1.70

you could also do the in-the-money combo
for a 'larger' debit .. nb it will 'expire'
for at least $2.00 .. can't lose everything
on this one <gg>

long 4/38 put @ 2.25
long 4/36 call @ 3.30

Depending upon your broker's order entry
procedures you should be able to enter/exit
combos and straddles as a 'package' for a 'quoted'
net debit/credit as the case may be rather than have
to trade/leg each piece ..

Straddle

long 4/37 call @ 2.30
long 4/37 put @ 1.70
