    Buy Call
    Buying or “Going Long” on a Call is a strategy that must be devised when the investor is bullish on the market
    direction moving up in the short term.

    A Long Call Option is the simplest way to benefit if the investor believes that the market will make an upward
    move. It is the most common choice among first-time investors. “Being Long” on a Call Option means the
    investor will benefit if the underlying Stock/Index rallies. However, the risk is limited on the downside if the
    underlying Stock/Index makes a correction.

    Investor View: Bullish on the Stock / Index.

    Risk: Limited to the premium paid.

    Reward: Unlimited.

    Breakeven: Strike Price + premium paid.

    Illustration
    E.g Nifty is currently trading @ 5500. Investor is expecting the markets to rise from these levels. So buying
    Call Option of Nifty having Strike 5500 @ premium 50 will benefit the investor when Nifty goes above 5550.
    Strategy Stock/Index Type Strike Premium
    Outflow
    Buy Call NIFTY(Lot Buy CALL 5500 50
    size 50)

    The Payoff Schedule and Chart for the above is shown below.

    Payoff Schedule Payoff Chart


    NIFTY @ Expiry Net Payoff ( )
    14000
    5200 -2500
    12000
    5300 -2500 10000
    5400 -2500 8000
    5500 -2500 6000
    5550 0 4000
    5600 2500 2000
    5700 7500 0
    5800 12500 -2000 5200 5300 5400 5500 5600 5700 5800
    5900 17500 -4000

    In the above chart, the breakeven happens the moment Nifty crosses 5550 and risk is limited to a maximum of
    2500 (calculated as Lot size * Premium Paid).
