Traders can initiate a Moderately Bullish strategy with reduced premium outflow & lower breakeven point called BULL CALL SPREAD of 12th August Expiry wherein trader will buy one lot of 16,250 call strike @ 57.05 and simultaneously sell one lot of 16,350 call strike @ 15.25, so that net outflow or maximum loss will be restricted to upto Rs 2,090 (42 points). On expiry day, if Nifty closes above 16,292 the strategy will start making profit, however, as the risk is limited so is the profit also limited. The maximum gains will be restricted up to Rs 2,910 (58 points) only because the gains of long 16,250 strike call will be offset by the sold 16,350 strike call if Nifty closes above 16,292 on expiry.
