Max profit on a credit spread equals the net credit received. For example, if you sell a FDX put for $3.00 and buy a lower put for $1.00, your max profit is $2.00 per share ($200 per contract). The breakeven equals the short strike minus net credit. Use the calculator to model exact scenarios with FDX's current price of $355.01.
In current conditions, defined-risk strategies like put spreads or iron condors are recommended for FDX as they limit downside while still capturing the available premium.
18 preset strategies are available: Short Put, Covered Call, Put Credit Spread, Bear Call Spread, Iron Condor, Short Strangle, Iron Butterfly, Broken Wing Butterfly, Calendar Spread, Short Straddle, Jade Lizard, Poor Man's Covered Call, Long Call, Long Put, Bull Call Spread, Bear Put Spread, Protective Put, and Collar. Plus a custom multi-leg builder for any combination up to 4 legs with optional share positions. Each strategy shows max profit, max loss, breakeven, and probability of profit for FedEx's current price.
Liquidity determines whether theoretical premium translates into real returns. For FedEx, check bid-ask spreads, open interest, and daily volume on your target strikes before entering. Wide spreads (over 10-15% of the premium) reduce your actual credit and make adjustments harder. Multi-leg strategies like iron condors are especially sensitive — each leg's spread compounds. Start with the most liquid strikes and expirations, and always use limit orders.
Return on Capital (RoC) = net credit / capital at risk. For a FDX cash-secured put at $337, RoC depends on the premium vs the full strike x 100 collateral. For spreads, RoC = credit / (spread width x 100 - credit). Higher IV environments produce better RoC. Use the calculator with FDX's current price to model exact returns.
When multiple strategies are recommended for FedEx, compare them on: (1) Risk type — defined vs undefined risk based on your account size. (2) Capital requirement — how much collateral each requires. (3) Max loss — how much you could lose in the worst case. (4) Probability of profit — higher PoP means more consistent but smaller returns. Use the calculator to model each and compare payoff diagrams side by side.
