1.theta is relative its depends upon IV so ideally should place at high IV but risk also increases as IV can increase further.It also depends the time to expiry.Straddles are not recommended for longer expiry .
2. Profit target can be conservative at 25% of Total credit amount.
3. Not to place straddle for Vix <20% or >80% of bell curve of VIX.
