He recounts how 2015 is very similar to 2004 when the volatility died.

The Badger comments on how you trade Iron Butterflies and says he believes that trading Iron butterflies is a waiting game. Bubba comments on various trades that are currently in play. Bubba asks the Badger about taking big stocks over the weekend, the Badger replies that they are not a big fan of taking large risk home. Bubba and the Badger talk about risk reward in a trade. You want big reward with minimal risk.

Bubba and the Badger talk about executing Iron Butterflies later in the week. The Badger comments that is ok to put them on as late as Wednesday or Thursday. You just have to make sure that you are collecting enough air to offset the risk. Bubba comments that his advice is not the bible he paints the markets with broad strokes and tries to teach risk reward, there is no right or wrong answer on any one trade.

The Badger continues the conversation on the Iron Butterfly and how they construct that trade. He comments that they initiate the trade using the expected range and how you can adjust the trade.
