Options Trading Strategies: The Butterfly Option

American Express (AXP) options were actively traded yesterday highlighted by a bearish butterfly option purchased in the afternoon. With shares of AXP trading around $42.50 an options trader decided to implement his bearish view on AXP by purchasing the July 30/35/40 butterfly option for a total net debit of $0.34 (or $119,000 in total proceeds). Under this options trading strategy, the options trader bought 3500 July 30 for $0.09 ($31,500), sold 7000 July 35 puts at $0.16 ($112,000), and purchased 3500 July 40 puts for $0.57 ($199,500). The graph below highlights the P/L of the July 30/35/40 butterfly option in AXP:

As can be seen in the graph, maximum profit of $4.66 ($1,631,000) for this butterfly option is achieved with shares of AXP trading at $35, a near 18% decline from current levels. However the options trader is only risking $0.34 ($119,000) to potentially make the $1.63 million return should shares of AXP trade at $35 upon July expiration. The favorable reward/risk dynamics of the butterfly option trade is one of the main reasons options traders like the structure, although commission fees (there are 3 legs to this structure) and a relatively low probability of max potential gains typically limits less advanced traders from fully embracing the structure.
