how do straddles that involve selling options protect against early assignment?
user
yes, that's the risk. if the stock is bouncing around a lot your options could get assigned.  if it heads south you now are the proud owner of more of a falling stock.  it's good that you're looking to understand the risks of an investment method.  that's important no matter what the method is.
