Long Butterfly Example
|
||||
A trader, Kathleen, has been studying United Parcel Service (UPS), which
|
||||
is trading at around $70.65. She believes UPS will trade sideways until July
|
||||
expiration. Kathleen buys the July 65–70–75 butterfly for 2.00. She
|

executes the following legs:
|

Kathleen looks at her trade as two vertical spreads, the 65–70 bull (debit)

||||
want UPS to be at or above $70 at expiration for her bull call spread to have
|
||||
maximum value. But she has the seemingly conflicting goal of also wanting
|
||||
UPS to be at or below $70 to get the most from her 70–75 bear call spread.
|
||||
The ideal price for the stock to be trading at expiration in this example is
|
||||
right at $70 per share—the best of both worlds. The at-expiration diagram,

Exhibit 10.1 , shows the profit or loss of all possible outcomes at expiration.

If the price of UPS shares declines below $65 at expiration, all these calls
|
||||
will expire. The entire 2.00 spent on the trade will be lost. If UPS is above
|
||||
$65 at expiration, the 65 call will be ITM and will be exercised. The call
