Understanding Call Credit Spreads
A call credit spread is an options trading strategy that involves selling a call option and buying another call option at a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. This strategy is typically employed when a trader expects the underlying asset to remain below a certain price level. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
- Sell Call Option: The trader sells a call option, receiving a premium. This is the maximum profit potential if the option expires worthless.
- Buy Call Option: The trader buys a call option at a higher strike price, which limits potential losses. The cost of this option reduces the overall profit from the trade.
- Net Credit: The difference between the premiums received and paid results in a net credit to the trader’s account.
