In the above chart, the breakeven happens the moment Nifty crosses 5710 (since net outflow is 10). The
reward in such a strategy is unlimited. The risk is limited to 5500 [calculated as (Difference in strike prices +
net premium paid) * Lot Size].

In the above illustration there is a net outflow for the investor. If for any other case there is a net inflow, there
would be one lower breakeven point. The point will be calculated as (Sell Call Strike price + net premium
received).

Short Put Ladder
Short Put Ladder is a strategy that must be devised when the investor is neutral to bearish on the market
direction and expects volatility to be significant in the market.

A Short Put Ladder strategy is formed by selling “In-the-Money” Put Option, buying one “At-the-Money’ Put
Option and one “Out-of-the-Money” Put Option.

Maximum gain for the Short Put Ladder strategy is limited if the underlying goes up.

However, if the underlying rallies downwards, potential profit is unlimited due to the extra Long Put.

Investor view: Neutral on direction and bullish on Stock/ Index volatility.

Risk: Limited.

Reward: Unlimited.

Breakeven: Total Strike prices of Long Puts - Strike price of Short Put +/- net premium received/paid.
