    This is fantasy land.

    @wxytrader if you trade a 5$ wide vertical on spx ATM, you get slightly better than your 100%...
    Fees and commissions are very low for this type of trade.
    The vertical I mentioned will have approx 230$-250$ risk for 250$-270$ reward, and it will cost you less than 3$ to enter...

    Then, what's this fantasy about the 0.01 itm of binary advantage?
    Even a vertical spread will pay in full if the all spread is itm by any amount.

    Can't compare binary to single legs, obviously.

    Also, check Dustin Journal for some 1000% return on some single option legs...

  2. I usually see a risk reward of about 3:1 writing $5 wide on spx.

    How does that work with verticals?

    One could buy at mid, and have a 2.60 risk 2.40 reward of the 5$ width.
