-The short put butterfly is a limited risk, limited reward strategy that is best implemented when volatility is relatively low in anticipation of increased volatility after entry.  The short puts reduces the cost of the trade but also decreases the reward.  The long puts are placed ATM and the short puts are equidistant from the long put strike with one short put above and the other below the long put strike price.
