Box Spread

Strategy 1 — Box Spread

How it works

A box spread combines 4 option legs that lock in a guaranteed payoff of K2 − K1 at expiry — regardless of where the underlying closes. NSE index options are European (no early exercise), so the payoff is truly risk-free.

− ₹950

₹547
+ ₹547
BUY
Put @ K2
₹1,245
− ₹1,245
SELL
Put @ K1
₹864
+ ₹864
Net Debit = 950 − 547 + 1,245 − 864 = ₹784 / unit
K2 − K1 = 57,300 − 56,500 = ₹800 / unit
Gross Profit = (800 − 784) × 30 lots = ₹480
After charges = ₹480 − ~₹200 = ₹280 net profit
