    @ 6:20 slides do not match the setup seen in the trading window.

    I really like the options videos and have been very well done and helpful. Never really thought about making an adjustment by putting on a fly within an existing fly trade. Very nice.

    Seth - that slide at 6:15 has a huge copy/paste error. Looks like it was copied from the broken wing butterfly video and numbers modified, but the description on each row is clearly wrong. Looks like it wasn't updated after pasting.

    Thank you for the interesting video. It is an interesting way to adjust an iron butterfly. However, what you did not explain is that after adjustment your risk increases should the share price continue to go up and go well above the $2,825 in this example. At the start your spread is $100 and you get $66.23 in premium per share so your risk per share was $100 - $66.23 = $33.77 so $3377 in total. After the adjustment your spread is still $100 but now you reduced your premiums from $66.23 to $14.84. Your new risk per share is then $100 - $14.84 = $85.16 so $8516 in total. That is a significant risk increase. That is fine and it is still an interesting repair strategy but am I correct that it increases the risk or am I missing something?

    I really feel like slapping myself for not realizing that I could have been trading iron butterflies and just converting them over to iron condors when they turn sour.

    Very informative. Would you be able to do the same, a put side butterfly, if the trade went sour in the other direction?

    Hey, what kind of stocks are Iron Butterfly suitable for before reports?

    Love these videos but why do the strikes show 100 points wide then 25 points wide?

    Very NICE VIDEO AND INFORMATIVE. Reduced the overwhelming feeling of Butterfly trade set-up. Need to w as tech the video a couple more times to be very comfortable we with the set-up.

    I never thought that a butterfly can be rerolled and become an iron condor. Great video

    I have a trade of this type in NIO that I will apply this strategy tomorrow. Thanks. Also, if you could share some 'dos and don'ts' relative to managing/mismanaging winners, that would be great. I've screwed myself royally a few times and I can only assume there may be more on the horizon lol.

    Seth, I’m curious how much did the capital requirement increase when you applied the adjustment to Iron Condor. Thank you!!!

    What about a reverse butterfly?

  • @Berelore

    Why not roll up the untested put side for increased credit?

    • @brianquigley6862
      @brianquigley6862 Před 11 měsíci

      I agree with you. I got a bit confused on this adjustment. I would have explained it differently and show the new position graphically. In an IC when adjusting I take profits on the winning side (locked in profits). Then roll the winning side closer to get more premium, thus less risk. Name of the game when wrong is to lose less, NOT necessarily win.

    Could you just buy back the short and sell a higher short turning it into a debit spread cheaper?

  • @tjadd5454

    Hi. Have you heard of the reverse Harvey adjustment strategy for iron butterflies...I think it's better than what your suggesting

  • @JoeT876
    @JoeT876 Před 4 lety +5

    I love these videos! I would like to hear about why someone would choose a butterfly vs an Iron butterfly. Thanks

    • @lj4001
      @lj4001 Před 2 lety

      If I’m not mistaken, any “Iron” before a strategy it’s mostly PUTs oriented.
      But I would like to be corrected as I’m new in option trading and unsure if this is fact.

    This is exactly what I need to learn to execute better. Been reading this strategy for two weeks now after backrestimg 2 weeks before. 1 red day this week for a 1500 L. I deserve it because the market gave me not one but two chances to come back n close for 850-900 profit. I was blinded by ego n my 55% PT. Was wondering if this would be successful for 0 day dte

    When it come to options always show the price charts. Why? You don't have to think about the trade when explaining it or getting it explained to you. example: pbs.twimg.com/media/EDfjPxdVUAEL5jh.png

  • @mad0316
    @mad0316 Před 8 měsíci

    Excellent video Seth! Is it correct that the correction to the Iron Butterfly results in new breakeven prices for the trade?

    Great content. How about videos about growing small accounts. Thks .

  • @prebenebbesen5547
    @prebenebbesen5547 Před rokem

    Why did you pick 2825 as adjustment? Your videos are very interesting but I can visualize more clearly if you show the risk graph, and explain if the delta of 2825 had anything to do with your decision. Also, do you guys really go to expiration on all of your trades? I find that somewhat confusing.

    That was the sorriest thing I ever saw from someone trying to sell a "system". Numbers don't jibe, screens don't match up, nothing but razzle dazzle!
