Comparison Between Butterfly Spread and Credit Spread
When deciding between a butterfly spread and a credit spread in a trading scenario, considerations such as market outlook, risk-reward ratio, and probability play crucial roles. The credit spread offers a higher probability of success but comes with increased risk and capital requirement. On the other hand, the butterfly spread presents a lower probability trade with higher rewards, particularly if there is momentum in the market. Understanding these differences allows traders to choose based on their market outlook and risk tolerance.
