Build a Call Ratio Backspread Strategy

What is a call ratio backspread?

BullishUnlimited ProfitLimited Loss

An extremely bullish strategy that gives great profits when the stock makes a big upwards move, and a loss if it only moves a bit. If established for a net credit and the stock goes down, you can actually still make a small amount.

Time is generally harmful to this strategy, and increasing volatility is helpful.
