What is a long call strategy?
As the name suggests, a long call is an options strategy in which a trader's view is bullish on a stock or an index for the short term. In this strategy, a trader buys a call option. If the trader's view goes right and the stock or the index moves up, the trade will turn profitable. While deploying the long call strategy, a trader places only one order and buys a call option.
