WHAT IS BULL CALL SPREAD
OPTION TRADING STRATEGY
Bull Call Spread
The bull call spread
option trading strategy is employed when the options trader thinks that the
price of the underlying asset will go up moderately in the near term.
Bull call spreads can be
implemented by buying an at-the-money call option while
simultaneously writing a higher striking out-of-the-money call option of the
sameunderlying security and the same expiration month.
Bull Call
Spread Construction
|
Buy 1 ITM Call
Sell 1 OTM Call |
By shorting the
out-of-the-money call, the options trader reduces the cost of establishing the
bullish position but forgoes the chance of making a large profit in the event
that the underlying asset price skyrockets. The bull call spread option
strategy is also known as the bull call debit spread as a debit is taken upon
entering the trade
Limited Upside profits
Maximum gain is reached for the bull call spread options strategy when the stock price move above the higher strike price of the two calls and it is equal to the difference between the strike price of the two call options minus the initial debit taken to enter the position.
The formula for calculating maximum profit is given below:
- Max Profit = Strike Price of
Short Call - Strike Price of Long Call - Net Premium Paid - Commissions
Paid
- Max Profit Achieved When Price
of Underlying >= Strike Price of Short Call
Limited Downside risk
The bull call spread strategy will result in a loss if the stock price declines at expiration. Maximum loss cannot be more than the initial debit taken to enter the spread position.
The formula for calculating maximum loss is given below:
- Max Loss = Net Premium Paid +
Commissions Paid
- Max Loss Occurs When Price of
Underlying <= Strike Price of Long Call
Breakeven Point(s)
The underlier price at which break-even is achieved for the bull call spread position can be calculated using the following formula.
- Breakeven Point = Strike Price
of Long Call + Net Premium Paid

Option Call Put Strategy
Option Call Put Strategy
Options provide
liberty to make profits in almost every
kind of market provided u judge it
correctly. Option strategies in this post are categorized as per market
conditions
Bullish strategies
Bullish options
strategies are employed when the options trader expects the underlying stock
price to move upwards. It is necessary to assess how high the stock price can
go and the time frame in which the rally will occur in order to select the
optimum trading strategy.
The most
bullish of options trading strategies is the simple call buying strategy used
by most novice options traders.
Stocks seldom
go up by leaps and bounds. Moderately bullish options traders usually set a
target price for the bull run and utilize bull spreads to reduce cost. (It does
not reduce risk because the options can still expire worthless.) While maximum
profit is capped for these strategies, they usually cost less to employ for a
given nominal amount of exposure. The bull call
spread and the bull put spread are common examples of
moderately bullish strategies.
Mildly bullish
trading strategies are options strategies that make money as long as the
underlying stock price does not go down by the option's expiration date. These
strategies may provide a small downside protection as well. Writing out-of-the-money
covered calls is a good example of such a strategy.
Bearish strategies
Bearish options
strategies are employed when the options trader expects the underlying stock
price to move downwards. It is necessary to assess how low the stock price can
go and the time frame in which the decline will happen in order to select the
optimum trading strategy.
The most
bearish of options trading strategies is the simple put buying strategy
utilized by most novice options traders.
Stock prices
only occasionally make steep downward moves. Moderately bearish options traders
usually set a target price for the expected decline and utilize bear spreads to
reduce cost. While maximum profit is capped for these strategies, they usually
cost less to employ. The bear call spread and the bear put
spread are common examples of moderately bearish strategies.
Mildly bearish trading strategies are options strategies
that make money as long as the underlying stock price does not go up by the
options expiration date. These strategies may provide a small upside protection
as well. In general, bearish strategies yield less profit with less risk of
loss.
Neutral or non-directional strategies
Neutral
strategies in options trading are employed when the options trader does not
know whether the underlying stock price will rise or fall. Also known as
non-directional strategies, they are so named because the potential to profit
does not depend on whether the underlying stock price will go upwards or
downwards. Rather, the correct neutral strategy to employ depends on the
expected volatility of the underlying stock price.
Examples of
neutral strategies are:
Guts - sell in
the money put and call
Butterfly - buy in the money and out of the
money call, sell two at the money calls, or vice versa
Straddle
- holding a position in both a call and put with the same strike price and
expiration. If the options have been bought, the holder has a long straddle.
If the options were sold, the holder has a short
straddle. The long straddle is profitable if the underlying stock
changes value in a significant way, either higher or lower. The short straddle
is profitable when there is no such significant move.
Strangle - the simultaneous buying or selling
of out-of-the-money put and an out-of-the-money call, with the same
expirations. Similar to the straddle, but with different strike prices.

The long options strangle is an unlimited profit, limited risk
strategy that is taken when the options trader thinks that the underlying stock
will experience significant volatility in the near term. Long strangles are debit spreads as a net debit is taken to enter the trade.
