NeutralLimited ProfitLimited Loss
A put butterfly spread is the combination of a bull put spread and a bear put spread. This creates a neutral strategy that is cheap and has a good risk/reward ratio.
Decreasing volatility will increase the profitable area, while increasing volatility will narrow the profitable range. Time is helpful when the position is profitable, and harmful when it isn't.
