Long Call Option Strategy

This is one of the basic strategies as it involves entering into one position i.e. buying the Call Option only. Any investor who buys the Call Option will be bullish in nature and would be expecting the market to give decent returns in the near future.

This strategy is used by a trader who is neutral on the market and bearish on the volatility in the near future. Here profits will be capped up to the premium amount and risk will be potentially unlimited.
