Box Spread
A

combination of a bull call spread and a


bear put spread
If all options are European a box spread is
worth the present value of the difference
between the strike prices
If they are American this is not necessarily
so (see Business Snapshot 11.1)

Other Payoff Patterns


When

the strike prices are close together


a butterfly spread provides a payoff
consisting of a small spike
If options with all strike prices were
available any payoff pattern could (at least
approximately) be created by combining
the spikes obtained from different butterfly
spreads
