Long Put Option Trading Strategy-Bearish Strategy

Short-Call-Option-trading-strategy

Explanation

A long put option trading strategy is a single-leg option strategy used by a trader/dealer when he perceives market volatility with a bias towards the downside. To execute this strategy, the trader would purchase options by paying a premium, which gives him the right but not the obligation to sell the underlying asset at a strike price at any time until the expiry date.

Risk

The maximum loss that options buyers could face is the premium paid-for-buying option.

Reward

Maximum reward for option buyer if the worst-case scenario for the market comes true, the price of the underlying losses its value and closes at 0.

Construction
