Synthetic Call

[osho67]

I trade covered calls on DIA, SPY, IWM and QQQ. When markets are going up ,it favours Covered calls. I am thinking to trade synthetic calls as well. -Sell stock and sell one put. This will help when markets are going down. The difficulty I am facing is finding the instrument to do this. I am looking for some help . Mostly I prefer ETFs. Your help much appreciated. Thanks

Short stock and short put is not a synthetic call. Are you trying to short calls?

In IB synthetic call is sell one put and sell 100 sock

In C/C I buy 100 stock but in synthetic call I sell 100 stock so the stock will be zero

IB? Interactive Brokers?

Regardless, if you sell one put and short 100 shares of stock, you have a synthetic SHORT call.

STOCK = CALL - PUT

- CALL = - PUT - STOCK

Or a "covered put".
