Tomorrow, looking to buy 17MAY19 , 260-265-255 all Put butterfly for a dime. Max profit $490. Will look to improve my odds by taking it off if it hits $125 profit.
Mike is getting fancy on us.Does this involve four contracts, with two in the middle? Or is the double at $265 like you typed it? Or some other variation? I know there are a quite a few variations of a butterfly spread. Maybe you could explain it after you execute the trade?
Buy 1 265
Sell 2 260
Buy 1 255
Debit $.10 per contract with max possible gain of $490.00 per contract.
While speculative in nature, the risk/reward is why I considered it for this "conservative" option trade thread.
