Iron Butterfly Gut Option Strategy ???

  1. Can any clever guy tell me the pay-off diagram for this strategy:

    long iron gut butterfly: +call -call -put +put,
    (strike1 lower than strike2 lower than strike2 lower than strike4)

    short iron gut butterfly: -call +call +put -put,
    (strike1 lower than strike2 lower than strike2 lower than strike4)

    TIA,

    Andrew
