allowed to stand because none of the member firms cared about changing it. Still, if
|
||||
one has excess collateral - perhaps from a large stock portfolio - and is interested in
|
||||
generating excess income in a hedged manner, then the strategy might be applicable
|
||||
for him as well. Futures option traders receive more favorable margin requirements,
|
||||
and it thus might be a more economical strategy for them.

REVERSE RATIO SPREAD (BACKSPREAD)
|
||||
A more popular reverse strategy is the reverse ratio call spread, which is comrrwnly
|
||||
known as a backspread. In this type of spread, one would sell a call at one striking
|
||||
price and then would buy several calls at a higher striking price. This is exactly the
|
||||
opposite of the ratio spread described in Chapter 11. Some traders refer to any
|
||||
spread with unlimited profit potential on at least one side as a backspread. Thus, in
|
||||
most backspreading strategies, the spreader wants the stock to rrwve dramatically. He
|
||||
does not generally care whether it moves up or down. Recall that in the reverse
|
||||
hedge strategy (similar to a straddle buy) described in Chapter 4, the strategist had
|
||||
the potential for large profits if the stock moved either up or down by a great deal.
|
||||
In the backspread strategy discussed here, large potential profits exist if the stock
|
||||
moves up dramatically, but there is limited profit potential to the downside.
|
||||
Example: XYZ is selling for 43 and the July 40 call is at 4, with the July 45 call at l.

||||
A reverse ratio spread would be established as follows: ·
