Long Call strategy


1. Buy:
      LEAPs, timing: 6-18 months out, cost: $1-2, level: OTM by two intervals, count: 5-10

2. Sell when:
      Either half the time has elapsed or when the underlying reaches par, whichever is earlier

3. Build up:
      If the underlying reaches par and continues to rise, take profit on current LEAP and add more long LEAP calls with the same strategy.
