Bull Call Spread Guide
The Bull Call Spread is used when you are moderately bullish on an asset. It involves buying an In-the-Money (ITM) call and selling an Out-of-the-Money (OTM) call.
Why use it?
It reduces the cost of entry compared to buying a naked call and mitigates the impact of time decay.
Step-by-Step
- Buy Strike A (Lower strike)
- Sell Strike B (Higher strike)
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Lower cost, lower break-even.
- Cons: Profit is capped if the market rallies significantly.
