Sell OTM put + sell call spread. No upside risk when credit > call-spread width.

How it works

Sell an out-of-the-money put AND an out-of-the-money call spread. When the total credit exceeds the call-spread width, the position has NO upside risk — a rally past the calls still nets a profit.

When to use it

Rich implied volatility with a neutral-to-bullish lean. You are paid three premiums to be wrong slowly, and structurally immune to being wrong upward.

What can go wrong

Downside is the short put: full assignment risk below its strike, softened by the larger total credit. Check the no-upside-risk condition holds at YOUR fill — credit greater than call-spread width.
