Strategies

Bull Put Spread

A clearly bullish credit-spread strategy with defined risk and a very clean P/L profile.

Description

What the strategy consists of

A bull put spread consists of one short put and one lower long put in the same expiration. That creates a net credit at entry.

The strategy is bullish: it performs best when the market stays above the short-put strike.

On the S&P 500, a 30 to 45 DTE window has proven particularly interesting.
