Chapter 23: Spreads Combining Calls and l'uts 357
Looking at the negative side, the "calendar straddle" is the least attractive of the
three strategies, primarily because one is forced to increase his risk after near-term
expiration, if he wants to continue to hold the longer-term options. It is often diffi­
cult to find a "diagonal butterfly" that offers enough credit to make the position
attractive. Finally, the "calendar combination" has the largest probability oflosing the
entire debit eventually, because one may find that the longer-term options expire
worthless also. (They are out-of-the-money to begin with, just as the near-term
options were.)
The strategist will not normally be able to find a large number of these positions
available at attractive price levels at any particular time in the market. However, since
they are attractive strategies with little or no margin collateral requirements, the
strategist should constantly be looking for these types of positions. A certain amount
of cash or collateral should be reserved for the specific purpose of utilizing it for
these types of positions - perhaps 15 to 20% of one's dollars.
