Short Call Butterfly.

Description	
	The Short Call Butterfly is another volatility strategy and is the opposite of a Long
	Call Butterfly, which is a rangebound strategy. The reason that short butterflies
	arent particularly popular is because even though they produce a net credit, they
	offer very small returns compared to straddles and strangles with only slightly less
	risk.
	   The Short Call Butterfly involves a low strike short call, two ATM long calls, and
	an OTM short call. The resulting position is profitable in the event of a big move by
	the stock. The problem is that the reward is seriously capped and is typically
	dwarfed by the potential risk if the stock fails to move.
