I found this recorded trade on an old computer. I have had a lot of success with this strategy. I am surprised reverse iron butterflies are not often talked about when it comes to option trading strategies. You can see from the video that if played right you can take advantage of such a large spread between the bid/ask. This trade makes money with virtually very little movement at all. Had the stock moved it would have made more.
