The long call butterfly spread is an options strategy for traders expecting minimal price movement. It involves buying 1 lower-strike ITM call, selling 2 ATM calls, and buying 1 higher-strike OTM call. The goal is for the stock to expire at the short strike price, maximizing profit. Examples using Marvell Technology are explored. Different Butterfly Spreads are compared based on cost and profit probability. Butterfly spreads offer defined risk and reward, but require careful risk management. Paper trading is recommended for beginners to practice the strategy before investing real money. Options trading carries risks, and investors should do their own research and consult financial advisors.
