This paper develops and tests arbitrage bounds for a combination of two option spread positions known as a box spread. This strategy involves the simultaneous use of four options and creates a position that is equivalent to riskless lending. The no-arbitrage conditions are compared to existing arbitrage bounds and are tested using Chicago Board Options Exchange data.
