Bull Call Spread on NIFTY: Low-Risk Way to Trade a Controlled Upmove

This is a Bull Call Spread on NIFTY for the 20 Jan 2026 expiry.


Structure shown:


  • Buy NIFTY 25750 CE @ ₹172.90 (Qty: +65)
  • Sell NIFTY 25950 CE @ ₹87.50 (Qty: –65)



Net Cost (Debit):


  • 172.90 – 87.50 = ₹85.40 per unit
  • Lot size 65 → ₹85.40 × 65 ≈ ₹5,551
    (The UI shows “Capital Required ₹50,000” as a slider allocation or margin bucket, not the true strategy cost.)



Payoff Characteristics:


  • Max Loss: Net debit = ~₹5,551
    (Occurs if NIFTY expires at or below 25750)
  • Max Profit:
    Strike gap = 200 points
    Max profit per unit = 200 – 85.40 = ₹114.60
    Total = ₹114.60 × 65 ≈ ₹7,449
    (Achieved if NIFTY expires at or above 25950)
  • Breakeven:
    25750 + 85.40 ≈ 25835



Market View:


  • Moderately bullish.
  • You expect NIFTY to move up and stay above ~25835 by expiry.
  • Risk is strictly capped.
  • Reward is capped.



Why use this:


  • Cheaper than buying a naked call.
  • Defined risk.
  • Works well when you expect controlled upside, not a runaway rally.
  • Time decay impact is lower than a single long call.



This is a clean, risk-defined directional trade suitable for small to mid capital with discipline.
