Range Forward – Bullish Exposure with Minimal Entry Cost
Range Forward – Mild Bullish Bias with Premium Cushion
(Illustrative Example:
POLICYBZR
| Nov 2024 | Historical CMP ~1800)
Market View
Bullish. Applied when the expectation is for POLICYBZR to move higher gradually, without placing an upper limit on upside.
The Trade (Illustrative | Hypothetical Premiums)
• Buy POLICYBZR 1850 Call @ ₹90
• Sell POLICYBZR 1750 Put @ ₹95
Net Premium: 5 (small net credit)
(Premium paid for the call is largely offset by premium received from the put.)
Breakeven
Strike price of put - net premium received
‘OR’
Strike price of call + net premium paid
1750 – 5 = 1745 ( in this example)
Max Profit
• Unlimited
Max Loss
• Unlimited (due to short put exposure)
Premium & Margin
• Premium: Near zero
• Margin: Required
Effect of Time & Volatility
• Time decay impact is largely neutral
• Volatility effect is negligible due to offsetting legs
Pros / Cons
• ✔ Directional exposure with minimal upfront cost
• ✖ High downside risk if price falls sharply
