aBullPutSpread {bullishTrader} | R Documentation |
Calculates Profit and Loss (PnL) per share (or unit of the underlying) and Breakeven point at expiration for Bull Put Spread and draws its graph in the Plots tab.
Description
This is a vertical spread consisting of a long position in an OTM (out of the money) put option with a strike price XL, and a short position in another OTM (out of the money) put option with a higher strike price XH. This is a net credit (V0Cr) trade as option premium or option price (PH) received on put shorted at higher strike price (XH) is more than premium (PL) paid on the put bought at lower strike price (XL). So, V0Cr is equal to PH minus PL. The outlook of trader or investor is bullish (Kakushadze & Serur, 2018).
