    that's why i used "or" instead of "and." :D

    they are all variations of the same underlying parameter anyway.

    Just curious if other option traders find it necessary to be well versed in Greek nomenclature and trade multi stage and leg positions to make money ? Are condors, butterflies, straddles, spreads, debits and credits Oh My...necessary versus buying and selling calls and puts ?
