Dictionary : Chameleon Option

An option that has the ability to change its structure, should certain pre-determined terms of the contract be met.

An example of a chameleon option would be a put option that automatically changes into an identical call option after the price of the underlying exceeds a certain price.

This is similar to a long or short straddle except investors aren't required to open two positions.
