Bullish. This strategy is used when you expect a sharp and fast upside move in the stock before expiry. In this illustrative case, JINDALSTEL was trading near ₹340 in July 2022, and the expectation was for a decisive breakout above resistance.
The Trade (Illustrative | Hypothetical Premium)
• Buy JINDALSTEL 350 Call @ ₹10
(Premium is illustrative and used only for explaining the concept.)
Breakeven
• 350 + 10 = ₹360
Max Profit

Max Loss
• Limited to premium paid (₹10)
• Occurs if JINDALSTEL expires below 350

Effect of Time & Volatility
