BULL CALL SPREAD
Options strategy in which an investor simultaneously purchases call options at a given strike price while selling the same number of calls of the same asset and maturity but at a higher price. It is used when the average increase in the underlying asset’s price is anticipated. The maximum profit in this trade is the spread between the lower and higher strike price minus the net costs of options. Normally, these spreads are vertical spreads.
