Benefiting from an upward movement which occurs when you own an option occurs when you are quite bullish in the market. The best thing about calls is the fact that your profit potential is usually unlimited since it usually doesn't how high an underlying asset price soars, so long as your period has not expired, you get to reap the profits. And again, your risk is usually limited since if by any chance the underlying asset price falls, the much you stand to loose is the price that you paid for an option. The rest of the loss is usually absorbed by the person who holds the option.

It is worth noting that though out of money options are usually cheap despite providing greater leverage, they are the riskiest when it comes to matters of incurring losses. In the money calls are usually the ones that are much safer due to the fact that they lower your risk of loosing the premium. There has been an increased tendency among people, who buy out of money options numerous months out, in a bid to provide enough time which will allow the market make an anticipated move. It is also important to note that options, unlike stocks, are usually very much affected by decay, and as such are not bought and held.

Profits can easily be evaporated by holding of options for long times, and as such it is usually advised that it is very important that by the time you are initiating a position, you also set the option's specific target price. This will pay off quickly owing to the fact that you will be able to easily reap off your profits, soon after reaching your target. But as is natural with any human being, greed can easily lead you to increase your target price as it keeps rising, and such a reckless move would result in loosing. Word of advice though; it is very important to always ensure that you have analyzed what you expect of the underlying asset and the market before even choosing the strategy you wish to adopt.
