8 option strategies that you can use in any market (sold as a ₹ 50,000 course !)

1/ Bullish: Put Spread (Vertical Spread)

This means shorting a near OTM Put Options and buying far OTM Put Options to hedge.

Payoff and other details is attached below.

2/ Bullish: Put Spread (Cross Calendar Spread)

It means shorting a near ATM put of current expiry and buying OTM put option of next expiry to reduce margin.

Let's consider, I am bullish on Nifty (Spot: 17900).

So I will short 17800 PE (22/09) and buy 17600 PE (29/09).

If you are unsure of the view then cross calendar spread can be used as profit is good in between the range.

Decay in the far OTM option for next expiry will be less than current expiry options so that will be again a benefit.

3/ Bearish: Call Spread (Vertical Spread)
