➥ Hypergrowth Options Strategy Course:
The long iron butterfly spread is an options trading strategy that consists of buying a call and put at the same strike price (a long straddle) while also selling an out-of-the-money call and put (a short strangle). The strategy can also be interpreted as the purchase of a call spread and put spread with the same long strike.
A long iron fly makes money when the stock price makes a large movement in either direction or when implied volatility increases. On the other hand, a long iron fly loses money when the stock price remains near the long strike as time passes, or when implied volatility decreases.
