Understanding Credit Spreads
Credit spreads are a popular options trading strategy that involves simultaneously buying and selling options of the same class (puts or calls) on the same underlying asset but with different strike prices or expiration dates. The goal is to limit risk while still allowing for potential profit.
In a put credit spread, a trader sells a put option and buys another put option with a lower strike price. This strategy generates a net credit to the trader's account, which is the maximum profit potential. The maximum loss occurs if the underlying asset falls below the lower strike price at expiration.
Conversely, a call credit spread involves selling a call option and buying another call option with a higher strike price. Similar to the put credit spread, this strategy also generates a net credit and has defined risk and reward parameters.
Both strategies are often used in a neutral to bullish market outlook, as they allow traders to profit from time decay and potentially limited movements in the underlying asset's price.
Conclusion
This week saw no closed trades, and thus no wins were recorded. The pending nature of these trades means that the outcomes are yet to be determined. As always, it's essential to monitor your trades and adjust your strategies based on market conditions.
