What is the Bear Call Credit spread?
The bear call credit spread is set up by going long a call option at one strike price and going short a call option at a lower strike price. This is a strategy you want to execute when you think a stock is going to go down.
Based on the option strike prices I select, I tend to profit if the stock goes down indefinitely, stays flat OR if it goes up to the strike price of the call option I sold short. Remember, a stock can ONLY do one of three things, go up, go down or stay flat. With the way I set up my bear call credit spread I profit with all three directions. The spread is called a credit spread because the trade results in money in my pocket upfront.
