What Trades to take if you are Bearish — Part2

Yesterday we discussed how to use SLBM to go bearish on a stock. Due to its complexity, most traders refrain from using that method.

A simpler approach would be to use the option strategy called Bear Put Spread.


Let us take the example of ICICI Bank again. The current price is Rs1077. We BUY a Rs1080 PUT strike and simultaneously SELL the Rs1070 PUT.

The Risk Payoff Graph is as shown.

The maximum profits will be: Rs3920

The maximum loss will be: Rs3080

Breakeven price: Rs1075.6


The maximum time duration of this strategy is till 25th April 2025, meaning your position has to make a decisive move within this period.

Most importantly, the decision to go “SHORT” has to be the outcome of your research and not a guesswork. Options trading is not gambling but the use of mathematics in the right way.
