Hi Taylor, There are more than one types of Box-trading, the one I use: a. For example, I have 300 long shares and 300 short right now and that's called a 300 shares even box. I can buy 100 shares of Amzn tomorrow, if I think that the trend is up. With my box-trading "strategy", I can "potentially" have more benefit than just long 100 shares of Amzn if price does go up. If Amzn trades at $150, I will have the opportunity to sell more than 100 shares and covers the delta if price drops below $150 afterwards. Vice versa in a down trend. However, Box trading is not for everyone. You got to have 1. A reasonable large and liquid portfolio to enable the flexibility, 2. You have to be decipline/patient and watch and wait for the right timing. 3. The reward is relative in proportion to the risk.
