Option Spread Strategies

Tools and tactics for sideways markets Making trades in a directionless market can be a challenge, and directionless markets occur more frequently than bull and bear markets combined.

Saliba focuses on strategies in the butterfly family of options--butterflies, condors, and iron butterflies--showing how to use these sophisticated tools in these markets. This hands-on guide illustrates numerous market scenarios to show you step-by-step how and when to apply these butterfly strategies. You'll find out how to identify, enter, manage, and exit a trade. Exercises and quizzes test your comprehension to help you obtain the knowledge to tackle directionless markets.
