  6. Butterfly Spreads • Involves positions in options in three different strike prices: • Buying an option (call or put) with a relatively low strike price (K1) • Buying an option (call or put) with a relatively high strike price (K3) • Selling two options (call or put) with a strike price halfway between the two (K2)

  7. Remember: Call Payoff Formula if ST> K: Long Call: (Spot Price-Strike Price) - Long Call Premium Short Call: Short Call Premium - (Spot Price - Strike Price)

  8. Put Payoff Formula if ST < K : Long Put: (Strike Price-Spot Price) - Long Call Premium Short Put: Short Call Premium - (Strike Price + Spot Price)

  9. Max profit = K2 – K1 – net investment Maximum profit is therefore limited Maximum loss is also limited to the net investment

  10. K1 = $55, call price = $10 K2 = $60, call price = $7 K3 = $65, call price = $5 Buy 1 call K1 ($10) Buy 1 call K3 ($5) Sell 2 calls K2 $14 Investment ($1)

  18. Bull Spread Long 55 Call Short 65 Call

  19. Butterfly Spread Long 55 Call and 65 Call Short two 60 Call

  23. Alternate Actions for Butterfly Spreads Before Expiration • 1. If the underlying asset has gained in price and is expected to continue rising, you could buy back the short call options and hold the long call options.  • 2. If the underlying asset has dropped in price and is expected to continue dropping, you could sell the long call options and hold the short call options. This action is only possible if your broker allows you to sell naked options.
