1 Butterflies, Condors and Risk Limiting Strategies December 17, 2013 Joe Burgoyne, OIC 2 The Options Industry Council Options involve risks and are not suitable for everyone. Prior to buying or selling options, an investor must receive a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. Individuals should not enter into options transactions until they have read and understood the risk disclosure document, Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, available by calling OPTIONS or by visiting OptionsEducation.org. Copies may be obtained by contacting your broker or The Options Industry Council at One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL In order to simplify the computations, commissions, fees, margin interest and taxes have not been included in the examples used in these materials. These costs will impact the outcome of all stock and options transactions and must be considered prior to entering into any transactions. Investors should consult their tax advisor about any potential tax consequences.

4 7 Spread Basics Spread is a position with both long and short options same underlying stock or ETF all calls, all puts, or both calls and puts Long and short sides of spread are called legs opening transactions limits (hedges) risk of the other(s) to some degree Spreads can be bullish, bearish or neutral depends on construction, not whether calls or puts 8 Spread Basics Spreads established at net debit or net credit differential between leg prices Debit spread long leg(s) cost more than received for short investor paying net debit is long the spread Credit spread more received for short leg(s) than paid for long investor receiving net credit is short the spread
5 9 Spread Basics Focus on leg price differential for pricing spread and/or trading in or out after established to track profit or loss Investor may trade in or out with spread order buy/sell legs simultaneously as a unit at net debit or net credit orders away from market may be disseminated but regarded as not held 10 Spread Basics Spreads can offer investors unique tradeoffs limited loss potential limited profit potential varying degrees depends on spread construction For a given market forecast, spreads may offer more acceptable risk versus reward ratios higher percentage profits versus outright purchase or sale of calls or puts
6 11 Spread Basics Time decay and rising/falling implied volatility? some spreads can protect you other spreads may take advantage of decay and volatility Trading spreads may involve firm-specific requirements accounts approved at higher levels minimum equity amounts 12 Vertical Spreads are Building Blocks Lower Strike Higher Strike Lower Strike Higher Strike Bull Vertical Spreads Bear Vertical Spreads
7 13 Vertical Spread Basics Vertical spread buy one option = long leg sell another option = short leg both calls or both puts different strike prices same expiration month same underlying stock always 1:1 ratio (long : short) net debit or net credit 14 Vertical Spread Basics Vertical spread characteristics limited loss potential limited profit potential reduced sensitivity to underlying price changes break-even point between strike prices Maximum spread value at expiration difference in strike prices (differential) x $100 both options in-the-money Minimum spread value at expiration zero (both options out-of-the-money and with no value)
8 15 Four Basic Vertical Spreads Bull call spread moderately bullish debit spread long call spread Bear put spread moderately bearish debit spread long put spread Bear call spread moderately bearish credit spread short call spread Bull put spread moderately bullish credit spread short put spread 16 Debit Spread Characteristics Bull Call Spreads and Bear Put Spreads Maximum loss limited to net debit paid for spread Maximum profit potential difference between strike prices net debit paid Margin net debit must be paid in full
9 17 Debit Spread Bull Call Spread Buy Lower Strike Call Sell Higher Strike Call Establish buy call with given strike sell call with higher strike same expiration month same underlying stock Bull Call Spread Always debit spread price of lower-strike call always greater than price of higher-strike call 18 Bull Call Spread Example Stock XYZ at $50.00 Spread: buy 1 XYZ call $2.90 $1.70 net debit sell 1 XYZ call + $1.20 Position: long 1 XYZ call and short 1 XYZ call long XYZ call spread net debit = $1.70 or $ total
10 19 Bull Call Spread at Expiration Buy 1 XYZ call at $2.90 Sell 1 XYZ call at $1.20 $1.70 net debit XYZ Price Long Call Profit/(Loss) Short Call Profit/(Loss) Combined Profit/(Loss) $60.00 $55.00 $51.70 $7.10 $2.10 ($1.20) ($3.80) $1.20 $1.20 $3.30 $ $50.00 ($2.90) $1.20 ($1.70) $45.00 ($2.90) $1.20 ($1.70) 20 Credit Spread Characteristics Bear Call Spreads and Bull Put Spreads Maximum loss difference between strike prices net credit received Maximum profit potential limited to net credit received for spread Margin margin is required may be more than net credit received for spread
11 21 Credit Spread Bear Call Spread Sell Lower Strike Call Bear Call Spread Buy Higher Strike Call Establish buy call with given strike sell call with lower strike same expiration month same underlying stock Always credit spread price of higher-strike call always less than price of lower-strike call 22 Bear Call Spread Example Stock XYZ at $73.00 Spread: sell 1 XYZ call + $9.40 $6.00 net credit buy 1 XYZ call $3.40 Position: short 1 XYZ call and long 1 XYZ call short XYZ call spread net credit = $6.00 or $ total
12 23 Bear Call Spread at Expiration Sell 1 XYZ call at $9.40 Buy 1 XYZ call at $3.40 $6.00 net credit XYZ Price Long Call Profit/(Loss) Short Call Profit/(Loss) Combined Profit/(Loss) $80.00 $75.00 $71.00 $1.60 ($3.40) ($3.40) ($5.60) ($0.60) $3.40 ($4.00) ($4.00) 0 $70.00 ($3.40) $4.40 $1.00 $65.00 ($3.40) $9.40 $6.00 $60.00 ($3.40) $9.40 $ Time Decay and Volatility For All Vertical Spreads Bull or Bear Debit or Credit Effect of time decay depends on stock price versus strikes between strikes effect generally minimal closer to long strike losses should increase at faster rate as time passes closer to short strike profits should increase at faster rate as time passes Effect of changing volatility depends on whether one or both legs are in-the-money amount of time until expiration
13 25 Four Basic Vertical Spreads Long Strike Long Strike Short Strike Short Strike Bull Call Spread Debit Bear Call Spread Credit Long Strike Short Strike Short Strike Long Strike Bull Put Spread Credit Bear Put Spread Debit Vertical spreads are building blocks for more advanced strategies Butterfly Spreads
14 27 Long Butterfly Basics Long butterfly spread to establish buy 1 option with lowest strike sell 2 options with middle strike buy 1 option with highest strike All calls or all puts same underlying stock same expiration month same strike price increment always 1:2:1 ratio (long to short to long) 3 option series Always net debit 28 Long Butterfly Basics Investor s position long 1 lowest strike wing short 2 middle strike body long 1 highest strike wing Investor is long butterfly has purchased butterfly for net debit Composition = two vertical spreads 1 bull spread and 1 bear spread 1 debit spread and 1 credit spread Profit potential and loss potential both limited
15 29 Long Butterfly Basics Neutral strategy Expectations for underlying trade in a range before expiration stabilize around middle (short) strike at expiration Motivations profit from time decay profit from decreasing implied volatility Investor wants to profit from stable underlying market unwilling to accept risk of short straddle 30 Long Butterfly at Expiration Maximum profit limited strike difference net debit paid for spread if underlying closes at middle (short) strike Maximum loss limited net debit paid for spread if underlying at or below lowest strike if underlying at or above highest strike Break-even points downside lowest strike + net debit paid upside highest strike net debit paid
16 31 Long Butterfly at Expiration Maximum Profit Maximum Loss Lowest Strike Downside BEP Middle Strike Highest Strike Upside BEP 32 Long Butterfly Basics Criteria for underlying selection sufficient liquidity Possible requirements for trading butterfly spreads accounts approved at higher levels minimum equity amounts firm-specific Margin net debit paid for in full greater initial margin amount possible firm-specific

44 87 Condor Comparison Call or Put Condor Debit spreads Maximum profit lower (same strikes) Maximum loss higher (same strikes) Iron Condor Credit spread Maximum profit higher (same strikes) Maximum loss lower (same strikes) At expiration, maximum profit will occur with underlying closing at or between the two middle strike prices At expiration, pin risk is always a concern 88 Iron Butterfly vs. Iron Condor Iron Butterfly at Expiration Maximum loss generally lower Maximum profit (net credit) generally higher Maximum profit at single strike price (middle) Iron Condor at Expiration Maximum loss generally higher Maximum profit (net credit) generally lower Maximum profit within range of strike prices (middle two)
45 89 In Conclusion Butterflies and condors (including iron versions) neutral strategies tradeoff for limited loss potential limited profit potential opportunity to sell options with limited risk Probability of maximum profit at expiration butterfly lower condor higher Margin, as well as account approval, may be required to trade these strategies 90 For More Information OPTIONS
