Short Put Butterfly.

	
Description
	The Short Put Butterfly is identical to the Short Call Butterfly, except that it uses puts
	instead of calls. It is the opposite of a Long Put 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 with strad-
	dles and strangles with only slightly less risk.
	   The Short Put Butterfly involves a low strike short put, two ATM long puts, and
	an ITM short put. 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.
