<p><strong>Bear Put Spread</strong> is a strategy used in forex trading to profit from a decline in the price of an asset. It's a type of vertical spread, involving the purchase and sale of put options with the same underlying asset but different strike prices and expiration dates.</p>

<h2>How It Works</h2>
<p>A Bear Put Spread involves buying a put option at a higher strike price (long put) and simultaneously selling a put option at a lower strike price (short put). Both options have the same expiration date. Here's how it works:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Trader buys a put option at a higher strike price (e.g., $100).</li>
  <li>Trader sells a put option at a lower strike price (e.g., $95).</li>
  <li>The net premium paid is the difference between the two strike prices minus the premium received for selling the put option (e.g., $5).</li>
</ul>
<p>The maximum profit is achieved when the underlying asset's price is at or below the lower strike price at expiration. The maximum loss is limited to the net premium paid.</p>

<h2>Why It Matters for Traders</h2>
<p>Bear Put Spreads are useful for traders who:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Have a bearish outlook on an asset but want to limit their risk.</li>
  <li>Want to generate income while waiting for a potential price decline.</li>
  <li>Want to reduce the cost of buying a protective put option.</li>
</ul>
<p>On MetaTrader 5, traders can easily set up and manage Bear Put Spreads using the platform's advanced options trading features.</p>

<h2>Example</h2>
<p>Let's say you expect the EUR/USD pair to decrease in value. You buy a put option at a strike price of 1.1800 (long put) and sell a put option at a strike price of 1.1750 (short put), both with an expiration date of one month. The net premium paid is $50. If the EUR/USD pair falls to 1.1700 at expiration, your maximum profit of $150 (1.1800 - 1.1700 - $50 net premium) would be realized.</p>
