RE: [TheOptionClub.com] Re: Butterfly question? on Feb expiration

 

Ricky, that's a difference case.  What you present is like a wide spread, sort of like a condor or a double calendar, but with butterflies on either leg instead of vertical spreads.  What I am talking about, is for example your Call spread, if it closed in the center of the butterfly where profit is maximized, which would be $60, then the 55 is ITM and the 60 could be ITM if it's ITM by 1 penny or more.
