Strategy Masterclass & Guide

### What is a Bullish Butterfly? This is for the trader who's done their homework and has a genuine price target — not just "it'll go up," but "I think it lands around this level." You buy one call below your target, sell two calls at your target strike, and buy one more call above it. The structure is cheap to put on and offers an excellent risk-to-reward ratio if you're right. The honest downside: your profit zone is narrow. This isn't a "close enough" trade — it rewards precision and punishes a wrong guess on magnitude just as much as a wrong guess on direction.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bullish Butterfly

The max loss itself is small and defined — but the probability of landing exactly in your narrow profit zone at expiry is also relatively low. So you're risking a small, defined amount for a shot at a large payout, but the odds of hitting max profit precisely are slim. It's a lottery-style structure with defined downside.

🔼 Uptrend (Bullish)

Bull Call Spread

You're bullish, but you don't want to pay full price for a naked call and you're okay capping your profit in exchange for cheaper entry. Buy one call, sell a higher one to fund it — simple as that.

🔼 Uptrend (Bullish)

Call Ratio Backspread

This is the trade for when you think a stock is about to make an explosive move up — not just drift higher. Sell one call near the money, buy two further out. Cheap or even free to put on, and it pays big if the move actually happens.

🔼 Uptrend (Bullish)

Long Call

The first trade every options trader learns, and honestly still one of the best when you're genuinely convinced a stock is going up. You risk only what you pay, and there's no ceiling on the upside.
