How to identify tops and bottoms in any market and find an option strategy that better fits in terms of risk and return.
Q. Are "Bullish Call Spreads" Less Risky Than "Buy Stocks"? A. Yes. The ‘bullish spread’ strategies have a clear advantage over the ‘buy stock ’strategy in terms of profit potential. A call bull spread is always a debit transaction, since a call with a lower striking price must always trade for more than a call with a higher price, if both have the same expiration date. Let's consider the following example...
We have analyzed all 33,691 bullish signals generated by the stochastic oscillator indicator for all US optionable stocks in 1999 and found that MACD has much higher prediction power than Stochastic Oscillator. It predicts price surge within the next five days after an occurrence with 68% probability compared to 61% probability for Stochastic Oscillator.

Strategy in brief: Call option and put option are bought with the same usually at-the-money strike. When to use this strategy: you strongly believe that the stock moves far enough in either direction in the short run. Comments: • Buy higher/lower strike options if the position can encounter different probabilities of bullish/bearish movements of the stock. • Buy at-the-money options if those probabilities are almost equal.
