Long futures to ratio spread

Discussion in 'Options' started by bigbiscuit, Feb 22, 2009.

  1. How do I construct this... I'm long 1 corn futures (example), which is showing a profit. I want to turn that +10 futures into a long call ratio spread so that I lock in some profit, with some window of opportunity to the upside... what is the correct way to do this with options?
    thanks

    You might consider Metamorphosis (PDF page 50)(Book page 44)to a Collar(Bull Vertical), a Butterfly, or Slingshot Hedge,
    as an alternative to a Call Ratio Spread, depending on your outlook of the underling price movement/Risk.
