Description

A bear put spread involves buying a put option at a higher strike price and selling another put option at a lower strike price. Both options have the same expiration date

Example

If NIFTY is at ₹25,800, you might buy a ₹25,800 Put for ₹110 and sell a ₹25,600 Put for ₹70, creating a net debit of ₹40. Maximum profit is ₹160 (₹200 strike difference - ₹40 net premium).
