The tracking problem

Why tracking your broken wing butterfly is harder than it looks

Difficulty in managing complex strategies

Higher risk on one side of trades

Adapting to changing market conditions

Need for precise execution around short strikes

Maintaining adequate projection on volatility changes

Overestimating profit potential

What matters

Key metrics to journal for your broken wing butterfly

These are the numbers that actually tell you if your strategy has edge

1

Net credit or debit received when opening the position

2

Breakeven points — asymmetric due to the unequal wing widths

3

Maximum profit zone and how close the underlying stayed to the short strike

4

Implied volatility at entry vs. realized volatility during the trade

5

Wing width differential — how the skip strike affects your risk/reward profile

6

Adjustment history — when and why you rolled or closed the wider wing
