Trade idea

USO defined risk

A short put butterfly is a high probability trade that can be used when the markets are wide on the call spread side. This strategy is bullish and aims to collect a small premium. However, it is important to note that the trade is only profitable if the crude oil price moves higher, and the risk increases if the price moves against the trade. The trade is best executed when the market is in a late cycle, and the trader should be prepared for potential losses if the trade goes against them.
