A bear call spread, also known as a short call spread or call credit spread, is a defined risk option strategy. The position’s spread width, minus the credit received, defines the maximum loss.
For example, if you sell a $5 wide bear call spread for a net credit of $1.28, the most you can lose on the position is $372 per contract, if the underlying price is above the long call strike at expiration.
