Backspread

| A spread where more options (calls or puts) are bought than sold (the opposite of a Ratio Spread). | ||

Additional Comments:
In low-volatility periods a back spread may be highly effective, but be aware of total movement of the spread. Indices may not have the effective range that an individual stock or commodity may have because of the diversification.
The back spread requires a fairly substantial price change to be effective, so it is important to consider the back spread as very long term and try to place the spread within the range of reasonable annual return for the index. |
