Bear Call Ladders

The Bear Call Ladder is a net credit bullish strategy that offers uncapped return if the stock rises and defined return if the stock falls with a limited risk. It is also known as Short Call Ladder. The goal is to make capital gains while reducing maximum risk. This strategy is better to implement when you are certain that an underlying will be moving significantly. It is a limited risk and an unlimited reward strategy if the movement comes on the higher side.
