Question from Jarryd Smith - I have a question for the podcast that, as a long-suffering Bills fan, I hope a long-suffering Bill can answer. I wouldn't turn down the greasy meatball, though. What is meant by 'the tent'? For example, stop the trade when it exits 'the tent'. Let's use an ATM Butterfly. Is it the ending 'tent', when at the end of the trade it would a max-loss? Or the end of the trade that would still be a profit? Or something else? For example, if I had a 100/150/200 ATM Butterfly on for $25, would I exit if it hit 100 or 200? Or 125/175? Or something else? Thanks!
