Limited-risk upside exposure with a purchased call.
Buy a call and offset cost by selling a higher strike call.
Combine different strikes and expirations in one call spread.
Sell a put while reserving cash for possible assignment.
Collect premium while accepting downside assignment risk.
Use a long-dated call as a stock substitute against a short call.
The finder first classifies the target as bullish, bearish, or neutral relative to the current price. It then scores templates by directional fit, whether the modeled debit fits the entered budget, and whether the expiration risk is defined. Target P&L is calculated with each template's default example premium.
This approach is useful for learning how payoff shapes differ. It is not an option-chain optimizer: it does not include probability, liquidity, market spreads, event risk, or a broker's margin rules. Open a result and replace every example value before comparing an actual scenario.
