Long Option Strategies
Learn the payoff logic of long calls and long puts, how premium defines initial capital at risk, and how strike, expiry and implied volatility affect long-option outcomes.
Long call
A long call expresses upside exposure with loss generally limited to the premium paid if held to expiry, subject to execution and contract terms.
Long put
A long put expresses downside exposure and can be used directionally or as portfolio protection.
Key risk
A correct direction can still produce a poor option outcome if the move is too small, too late or offset by volatility and time-value changes.
