No need to post an example. If one converts to a box at a price which locks in profits, then it is risk-free IF it is held thru expiry. In reality, the short legs can present some risk, as can unwinding un-simultaneously. Add in commissions and fees, and you just further raise the bar of profitability, but I can certainly imagine a trader only putting on a box at a price where profit is guaranteed.

Why just not take the profits outright ?

I always wonder why people want to "lock-in" profits with convoluted schemes.

A box "could" be a great trade if there is some dislocation going on with the underlying (like a hard to borrow condition), however it is too easy to get burned when using american style options.

Another decent use for a box could be to play some interest rate stat arb, but the edge is too small most of the time (hard to overcome comms for a lowly retailer like me).
