Frequently Asked Questions

What's a put spread?

You sell a put option (collect premium) and buy a lower-strike put (pay premium, cap your loss). Why? You want income but limited risk if stock crashes too much.

How is breakeven different from my short strike?

Short strike ($240) is where you get assigned. Breakeven ($239) is where you start making profit. You collected $1 premium, so breakeven is $1 below your short strike.

What does "assignment probability" mean?

How likely your short put gets assigned (stock falls below your short strike). 20% = 1 in 5 times. Most traders target 20-30% (balanced risk).

Can I make money if stock drops?

Yes, until your breakeven. If stock drops below, your long put protects you and you can still profit.

Should I close before assignment?

Many traders close at 50-75% max profit to free up capital and reduce risk. The calculator shows when rolling makes sense.
