Nvidia stock (NVDA) continues to show amazing strength and is above the 21, 50, and 200-day moving averages.

Today, we’re looking at a bull put spread. As a reminder, a bull put spread is a defined risk strategy, so you always know the worst-case scenario in advance.

This type of trade will profit if NVDA stock trades sideways or higher and even sometimes if it trades slightly lower.

With NVDA stock trading around 490, if we use the October expiration, we can sell a 425 put and buy a 420 put for around $0.75.

Selling this spread would generate roughly $75 in premium with a maximum risk of $425.

If the spread expires worthless that would be a 17.65% return in seven weeks provided NVDA stock is above 425 at expiration.

The maximum loss would occur if NVDA stock closes below 420 on October 20, which would see the premium seller lose $425 on the trade.

The breakeven point for the trade is 424.25. which is calculated as 425 less the $0.75 option premium per contract.

I would set a stop loss/adjustment point if NVDA drops below 455. Otherwise, another good rule of thumb is to limit the loss to the amount of premium received which in this case would be $75.

Sticking to this stop loss level will help avoid large losses if the trade goes south.

If you have any questions on this, please let me know.

We hope you enjoyed this NVDA bull put spread idea.
