Here is the trade setup:

SLD 1 EEM OCT 08 '21 50 Put Option 0.45 USD
BOT 1 EEM OCT 08 '21 48 Put Option 0.12 USD

For this credit spread, I got a credit of 28.2 USD (after commissions) or a 0.56% potential income return in 7 days, if options expire worthlessly

What happens next?

On the expiry date, October 08, 2021, EEM is trading above $50 per share - options expire worthlessly and I keep premium - if EEM trades under $50 on the expiry date, I will get assigned 100 shares and will have to buy them for $5,000

But as I already have collected a premium of $0.28 per share, my break-even price for this trade then will be $50-$0.28 = $49.72

In case of assignment, I will turn this trade into a wheel strategy and will start selling covered calls
