How it works
Identical payoff to the call butterfly, constructed from puts; choose whichever side quotes tighter.
When to use it
Same pin thesis; put quotes sometimes give a cheaper fill.
Risks & management
Same narrow peak; live chains with uneven strike spacing skew the wings (visible in the example).
