Benefits, risks and examples of a long call option
A long call option allows investors to benefit from price increases in an underlying asset with limited risk. This article explains the fundamentals of a long call option strategy, its benefits and risks, and how to implement it effectively.
A call option is a financial contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a predetermined price (the strike price) within a set period. Unlike buying stocks directly, where you pay the full price, a call option requires a smaller initial investment, known as the premium. The premium is paid to the seller (writer) of the call option.
In return the seller of the option has the obligation to deliver, upon the request of the buyer, a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a predetermined price (the strike price). This strategy is known as a short call option.
Both buyers and sellers of call options can terminate either their right or obligation by a reverse (closing) transaction.
A long call option strategy involves purchasing call options with the expectation that the underlying asset's price will rise. This strategy is bullish, meaning it profits when the market goes up. The investor benefits from the potential upside of the stock while limiting their downside risk to the premium paid.
Imagine you believe Company XYZ's stock, currently trading at €50, will increase significantly over the next three months. You decide to purchase a call option with a strike price of €55 expiring in three months, costing €2 per share (options typically represent 100 shares, so the total cost would be €200).
A long call option strategy is often compared with other strategies like buying stocks outright, a short put option, or other options strategies like spreads anticipating a market increase.
Versus buying stocks
A long call requires less capital than buying the same amount of stock, offering leverage with limited downside risk. Buying stocks could increase risk potential to such a level that the stocks become worthless. On the other hand, buying stocks does not impose a time limit on the possibility to benefit from your predicted market increase.
Versus a short put option
A short put creates the obligation to buy, upon the request of the buyer of the put option, a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a predetermined price (the strike price). The seller receives a premium as compensation for this obligation. The option loses its value if the price of the underlying goes up. However, the profit for the seller is restricted to the premium received. A short put also requires the buyer to buy the shares at the agreed price, even if the value decreases, or to close out the position against a loss.
Versus spreads
While more complex strategies like bull call spreads involve buying and selling call options at different strike prices, a long call is simpler and offers unlimited upside potential but requires a precise market movement.
The long call option strategy is a powerful tool for investors looking to capitalise on anticipated price increases in an underlying asset while limiting their downside risk. By understanding the key components, advantages, and risks, and by implementing the strategy with careful market analysis and risk management, investors can potentially achieve significant profits. As with any investment strategy, thorough research and prudent decision-making are essential for success in options trading.
Investing in the financial markets requires a deep understanding of various strategies to maximise returns while managing risk. Please consult your bank or broker for advice or read the Key Information Document for the product you are considering investing in to get a better understanding of all risks and costs involved.

In the world of stock trading, latency – the delay between a trader’s action and the execution of that action – is a critical factor. High-frequency trading firms (HFTs), in particular, strive to minimise latency to gain a competitive edge. One technology that has dramatically reduced latency in stock exchange order transmission is the wireless microwave network.
Wireless microwave networks have revolutionised the transmission of stock exchange orders by significantly reducing latency. Through direct line-of-sight transmission, faster signal propagation and optimised routing, microwave networks provide a critical advantage in the high-speed world of financial trading.
As technology continues to advance, these networks are likely to play an even more pivotal role in the financial markets, driving further innovations and efficiencies.
