Short Call Vertical
Analyzing the risk profile of a short call vertical
Recap
- Short call verticals are a bearish strategy
- The most you can make on a short call vertical is the credit you receive for it
- The most you can lose on a short call vertical is the width of the strikes minus the credit received
- Wider verticals carry greater risk, but offer greater profit potential
- Narrow verticals are slow moving, but have lower monetary risk
- Short call spreads can have a very high POP when set up correctly
