Long Put Vertical

Analyzing the risk profile of a long put vertical

Recap

  • Long put verticals are a bearish strategy
  • Long put verticals have limited profitability and limited risk
  • The most you can lose on a long put vertical is the amount you pay for it
  • Wider verticals carry greater risk, but offer greater profit potential
  • Narrow verticals are very slow moving, but have lower monetary risk
  • Never pay more than the width of the strikes to open a long vertical
