Butterfly strategy with options: Regular income - CapTrader (Part 1)

Published on:
CapTrader
Video description:

Christian Schwarzkopf from Optionsuniversum will give you an introduction to a Butterfly options strategy (BF70) on the #Russell 2000 in two videos: This is a „simple“ income trade with a positive expected value. The BF70 is also a #options strategy that is set up the same way month after month – with the goal of generating regular income. The strategy is characterized by being very easy to manage and therefore can also be a suitable instrument for beginners in #options trading. Furthermore, the BF70 offers an excellent risk/reward ratio and has been characterized by low drawdowns in the past.
