This is something new to me even though I know itself isn't inherently new. I've been reading on it here and there and getting bits and pieces but my mind doesn't work too well with parts of the whole, I kind of need the entire picture laid out.
From my limited understanding this is just something people with either a decent or a lot of money use at a small acceptable loss as a write off to cover their actual gains. Is that about right? There is no actual gains from the box spread itself? I'm sorry, just trying to learn even if it's not something I use myself. It's always good to learn something new. And my wording might be off.
