Until the price reaches the desired price, this strategy pays the writer for waiting with the premium received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And how exactly does a cash-secured put work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximilian Bothe: The prerequisite for trading a cash-secured put is that the investor would like to buy a share, but it seems too expensive for him at the moment. In contrast to a pure short put, the purpose of selling the put is not only to collect the possible premium, but also to book the shares. If a cash-secured put is sold far out of the money on the desired share, the seller of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/glossary\/what-are-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Option<\/a> a premium for this. If the share price is still above the strike price at expiry, the option expires worthless. The investor\/strike holder has earned the premium. The investor can repeat this until the share price is below the strike price at expiry. In this case, 100 long shares would be booked into the investor's securities account at the strike price, regardless of how low the price has fallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group banner-bild\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><a id=\"brxe-kbumbq\" href=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/depot-eroeffnen\/\" class=\"brxe-block margin-bottom-s banner-bild\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/CapTrader_Werbebanner_horizontal-Astronaut_EN.jpg\" class=\"brxe-image css-filter size-full\" alt=\"An astronaut floating in space with the earth in the background, next to it an advertising text about share trading services and a yellow &quot;Open account&quot; button.\" id=\"brxe-xmcpzb\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/CapTrader_Werbebanner_horizontal-Astronaut_EN.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/CapTrader_Werbebanner_horizontal-Astronaut_EN-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/CapTrader_Werbebanner_horizontal-Astronaut_EN-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/CapTrader_Werbebanner_horizontal-Astronaut_EN-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/CapTrader_Werbebanner_horizontal-Astronaut_EN-18x6.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><a id=\"brxe-devmle\" href=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/depot-eroeffnen\/\" class=\"brxe-block margin-bottom-s\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/CapTrader_Werbebanner_vertikal_Astronaut_EN.jpg\" class=\"brxe-image css-filter size-full\" alt=\"An astronaut floats in space next to ad text promoting stock trading features such as global exchanges, short selling and fractional shares.

Let's assume, for example, a share that is worth buying at a current price of $ 48. However, the investor finds it too expensive at this price, because he would like to buy the shares only at $ 42,50. Instead of placing a limit order in the market and simply waiting, he sells a put (Cash Secured Put) at $ 42.50. For this he receives a premium. So he gets paid for waiting for the better \/ cheaper price.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On which shares do you trade Cash Secured Puts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximilian Bothe: \"The basic prerequisite is the desire to buy a share, so the investor must first look at the company itself. First and foremost, I invest in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/inside-markets.com\/nicht-zyklische-aktien-gehoeren-in-jedes-depot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">non-cyclical shares<\/a>, as they have low drawdown, high performance and low volatility. For a long-term account, these stocks are perfect.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What happens to Cash Secured Puts in a crash?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximilian Bothe: If there is a stock market crash, there is a very high probability that all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/glossary\/cash-secured-put\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cash Secured Puts<\/a> run \"into the money\" and are tendered. However, if you pay attention to your risk and money management, this is not a problem and, if necessary, one or two cash-secured puts can still be rolled over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do you roll a Cash Secured Put?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximilian Bothe: In order to avoid tendering the shares through a cash-secured put, it is possible to use the sold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/glossary\/glossary-put-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Put option<\/a> roll (adjust). To do this, this option is closed at a loss and another put option is sold in the next term. You can find out more about this in this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AxPjaYEoQ8k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>7) An option is a forward product and therefore has an expiration date. Which remaining terms do you choose for the cash secured put?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximilian Bothe: \"In order to profit optimally from the time value loss, I usually select residual terms of approx. 50-80 days. If the investor wants to get the stock very cheap, then an option with a longer remaining term is recommended - due to the time value taken, the strike price is further away.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the maximum number of Cash Secured Puts you should hold in your portfolio?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximilian Bothe: \"One should regularly check the total amount due when all Cash Secured Puts are tendered. This amount should never exceed the available cash in an account, otherwise the account is over-leveraged. As a rule of thumb, we never trade more than half of our cash with Cash Secured Puts.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the risk of a Cash Secured Put?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximilian Bothe: \"The risk of a Cash Secured Put is never the option, but the delivery of 100 shares at the strike price. The strategy is therefore very dependent on the share price performance of the stock corporation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What returns are possible with Cash Secured Put trading?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximilian Bothe: \"With Cash Secured Put trading, returns between 5 and 10 % per annum are realistically achievable.

Bei einem starken Kaufinteresse an der Aktie zu einem deutlich niedrigeren Preis kann auch eine l\u00e4ngere Laufzeit sinnvoll sein, da so der Strike-Preis weiter vom aktuellen Kurs entfernt sein kann."},{"blog_faq_question":"Was passiert mit Cash Secured Puts w\u00e4hrend eines Marktcrashs?","blog_faq_answer":"In einem Marktcrash ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit hoch, dass Cash Secured Puts \"ins Geld\" laufen und der Stillhalter die Aktien zu dem vereinbarten Preis kaufen muss.
