⭐ Popular strategies (plain English)

🛡️ Protective Put

What it is: Insurance for shares you already own.
Made of: Shares + Buy 1 Put (same stock).
Use when: You worry about a drop but still want upside.
Read the graph: Flat under strike (loss capped), slopes up above it (upside minus premium).

💸 Covered Call

What it is: Income on shares you own; you agree to sell at a target.
Made of: Shares + Sell 1 Call.
Use when: Neutral to mildly bullish; okay to sell at strike.
Read the graph: Small cushion from premium; upside capped near strike + premium.

🚀 Long Call

What it is: Cheap “upside ticket.”
Made of: Buy 1 Call (no shares required).
Use when: You expect a rise and want limited downside.
Read the graph: Flat (loss = premium) until strike; then slope up.

🧯 Long Put

What it is: Simple “down bet.”
Made of: Buy 1 Put (no shares required).
Use when: You expect a drop and want limited loss.
Read the graph: Flat (loss = premium) above strike; slopes up as price falls.
