In fact, the long albatross spread is simply a long condor spread with extremely "long wings" created by writing the short legs at a much wider strike difference. There are two ways to establish a Long Albatross Spread. One way is to use only call options. We call this a "Call Long Albatross Spread". The other way is to use only put options.
