With long calls, some option traders choose to swing for the fences every time, making pie-in-the-sky bets with high risk and high potential returns. That strategy could mean big wins when it works, but it could also bring a lot of strikeouts and big losses. We'll explain how to potentially dial back the risk a little bit for a "smarter way" to buy long calls.

Cameron May is the best when it comes to explaining Options or anything trading related. He is the reason why I was able to understand Options better and apply what I learned successfully! I had a UA-cam playlist with his teachings, but they have since deleted all of the TD videos. The ones they offer now are nowhere near in comparison to the detailed ones TD had.
Alas, I'm glad I was able to find a good refresher delivered by Cam! Happy Trading😊
I appreciate that! ^CH
This is without a doubt the bess training lesson that i have ever had... i will watch it several times to get in all the detais. Thank you!!
Great video! It was all crystal clear and didn't move too fast.
Thanks.
clear and super helpful !
Good and comprehensive training on long call positions.
Best
I wish these videos existed when I was taking the 7 back in 2018
What is that specific date or time frame to exit Is it after 1 day, the same day, or 2-3 days? This would helpful in terms of a guideline. Thank you.
It would be appropriate to exit if you hit a target, recognize the stock is breaking support or other measurement. Also if the stock doesn't move half the target in half the time you thought it would take, some will exit. It could occur any time before options expiration. Some exit at first signs of weakness. These are better markers than X number of days. ^CH
why not by a put with it as insurance, which can reduce losses?
Traders/Investors will do this, but will need to consider the premium of the put(s) and potential changes to implied volatility, among other things prior to the purchase. ^MF
Some traders risk only 0.5% of their portfolio!? So we shouldn't be putting 75% of our account in naked calls?
Seriously though, I think the most important thing is setting up exit strategy prior to doing any trade.
You got to be kidding this is so so basic waste of time
