Define: Broken Wing Butterfly Spread

Broken Wing Butterfly Spreads are butterfly spreads that transfers all the risk in one leg onto the other, resulting in a butterfly spread that loses money only when the stock breaks out in one direction instead of both directions.

Eventhough loss can only be incurred in one direction, the maximum loss would be twice that of the loss of a normal butterfly spread.
