Arif 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Hi All, I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum. My question is regarding the most recently place double RUT calender #3: Buy to open RUT October 24 (week4) 2013 1040 putSell to open RUT October 17 (monthly) 2013 1040 putPrice: $5.80 debit. Buy to open RUT October 24 (week4) 2013 1040 callSell to open RUT October 17 (monthly) 2013 1040 callPrice: $5.70 debit. I'm confused on the reason for purchasing both calls and puts with the same strike and expiration's, why not just double up on the put or call side. I always thought of a double calender as having 2 "tops" not when 1 calender lies directly on top of the other. Clearly I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
