Strategy Dossier & Metadata Taxonomy
Strategy: Put Ratio Backspread (1x2 Put Spread) | Market: NSE Index Options | Outlook: Extremely Bearish | Downside: Unlimited Explosive Leverage
1. The Core Principle in Plain English
A Put Ratio Backspread is the mirror image of the Call Ratio Backspread: sell 1 higher strike Put and buy 2 lower strike Puts. If the market rallies or gaps up, you keep the initial net credit. If the market plunges into a deep selloff, the 2 long puts produce massive convex profits.
