Over the last few weeks I have started to trade butterflies more frequently. I have been trying out a new strategy to fit my risk profile while increasing my profits exponentially with little added risk. The one thing that is needed to trade butterflies is patience. As I mature as an option trader I have learned that the one thing that has made me successful is patience, and without it, many of my trades would have never reached their potential, or I would have exited with losses to soon and not give myself a chance to recover. There are three reasons as to why I love trading butterflies: there is very little time decay, you have a phenomenal risk/reward, and you do not need a big move to be profitable.

You thought a long weekend would put an end to this Greek-standoff stuff? Think again.
Talks between Greece and eurozone finance ministers on Monday night lasted barely two hours, according to some reports. Sticking to his guns, Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said his country wants a deal, but with concessions. He also said negotiators don't have "the right to play games with the future of Europe," and that a halfway meeting point may emerge during the next couple of days.
We'll see. Let's just hope he doesn't get his Burberry scarf caught on the door handle before the proverbial car goes off the cliff.
