When To Execute?

Bull Call spread is executed when we have bullish outlook in Stock/ Index. Instead of buying naked call with higher outflow, one sells higher strike Call to partially fund the outflow resulting in hedged strategy

Trade

Buy 1 lot ATM call and Sell 1 lot OTM call

Advantages

Helps to participate in a bullish stock with relatively low cost

Reduced risk, cost, and breakeven point for a medium- to long-term bullish trade as compared to buying a call alone

Capped downside (although still 100% of the outlay)

Disadvantages

Capped profit if the stock closes above short Call

Identifying clear area of resistance and selection of strike becomes very important

Bull Call Spread

Maximum Profit

Maximum reward is limited to difference in strike less net outflow. Maximum Profit arises if the stock closes at or above the higher strike. Identifying clear uptrend is essential for the strategy

!

Maximum Loss

Maximum risk is limited to difference in cost of long and short call. Breakeven for the strategy would be lower strike + net outflow
