1. The Core Principle in Plain English
A Ratio Call Spread involves buying 1 lower strike Call option and selling 2 higher strike Call options. The trade is typically structured for a net credit or zero cost.
You achieve maximum profit if the market rallies moderately to pin right at the higher short call strike at expiry, while maintaining zero downside risk if the market drops.
