In reference to Kite protection, if you were short 8 of the Jan RUT 520/520 put spreads, would a 550 Feb-Jan put calender serve as temporary protection in case of a further RUT fall towards no father than 550?
I have tried generating risk graphs of otm put calendars with otm put spreads, but not sure if they are accurate in their risk assessment.
Steve,
Full reply tomorrow as a separate post.
Calendars are so-so as protection,in my opinion. But to make them much more effective, the calendar strike should be nearer the danger point of the spread you are protecting.
Graphs should be ok.
