Short “naked” options are calls or puts that are sold that have nothing to limit their risk (shares of stock, long options). It is a bullish strategy when selling a put option and a bearish strategy when selling a call option.
A short naked put is a bullish strategy that is executed by selling a put option. It is a strategy that can be used to buy shares of stock at a lower price, while keeping the premium collected if the stock price does not decrease.

A short naked call is a bearish strategy that is executed by selling a call option without being “covered” by long stock or a long call option. Selling naked calls is an undefined risk strategy.

The trade will be entered for a debit. It’s important that the debit paid is no more than 75% of the width of the strikes.
The exact maximum profit potential & breakeven cannot be calculated due to the differing expiration cycles used. However, the profit potential & breakeven area can be estimated with the following formulas.
Short “naked” options are calls or puts that are sold that have nothing to limit their risk (shares of stock, long options).
Since “naked” options have no options that are purchased against them, they benefit the most from the passage of time (theta decay) and any decreases in implied volatility (IV). As a result, the ideal environment for selling naked options in terms of the premium collected is when IV is high.
Profitable short naked calls and short naked puts will be closed at a more favorable price than the entry price (first goal: 50% of maximum profit)
When trading short naked options, selling an option of the opposing type (i.e. selling a call against a short put that is being “tested”) can be one defense mechanism. This reduces the directional risk of the position and collects more premium, which extends the break-even point.
If the trader’s assumption on the underlying has not changed as expiration approaches, the position can be rolled to the next expiration cycle to extend the time in the trade and collect more premium.
