Hello Ajay,
Thanks for your post. Yes the original purpose of the group was to cover BWBs and to examine the claims made in the book about BWBs which most people bought. I believe we did that over the years. Naturally a manual like you mention would pull out the important things that we have discussed here and make it easy for others to learn. For a long time I had planned to write a book which would highlight some discussions we have had here, to correct the false ideas from the previous book, and to discuss constructing and adjusting the BWB. Unfortunately I have not done that yet. Looking back I think I do better creating by corresponding with another or a small group. Thanks for your input.
Neal

This is a good post from Neal. Since one of the original purposes of the group was to thoughly cover BWBs and RWBs, it seems that is the way to go. Specifically, I suggest a little manual with a couple of topics. One, define a BWB; two advantages and disadvantages over other spreads; three how to construct; four some of the key adjustments which depend on how the underlying moves in relation to the strikes of the BWB. The same should be done for RWB. Then we can feel that we achieved a key goal of the group and we can move on to other topics such as collars and their adjustments......Ajay
