Remember, while theoretical risk is nice to know, a trade should be managed according to it&#8217;s <em>real risk<\/em> so that the trade never even comes close to its maximum loss. \u00a0That&#8217;s something I discuss in the four videos of the Broken Wing Butterfly video series.<\/div>\n<div>This trade can profit in excess of the 65-cent entry credit if the market moves moderately lower this week. \u00a0With an up move, the credit would be the profit. And a big move to the downside would require action to close or adjust the trade, but for now this trade can most likely withstand a two standard deviation move before getting to the point.<\/div>\n<div>Keep an eye on this trade. \u00a0Watch it and learn. \u00a0I&#8217;ll update you later in the week.<\/div>\n<p>Trade safe!<\/p>\n<p>Greg Loehr<\/p>\n<p>Optionsbuzz.com<\/p>\n<p><em>Please note: Hypothetical computer simulated performance results are believed to be accurately presented.
