The strategies, in one line each 10 strategies
Long call
Pay a premium for upside with a capped loss.
Long put
Pay a premium to profit from a fall, loss capped at the premium.
Covered call
Own the shares and sell a call above: income now, upside capped.
Protective put
Own the shares and buy a put below: insurance with a known floor.
Cash-secured put
Sell a put below the price and hold the cash to buy if assigned.
Bull call spread
Buy a call, sell a higher one: cheaper upside, capped both ways.
Bear put spread
Buy a put, sell a lower one: cheaper downside bet, capped both ways.
Long straddle
Buy a call and a put at the same strike: a bet on a big move either way.
Long strangle
Buy an out-of-the-money call and put: cheaper than a straddle, needs a bigger move.
Iron condor
Sell a put spread and a call spread: collect premium if the stock stays in a range.

Theoretical option prices: Black-Scholes, European exercise, no dividends, a 4% risk-free rate, calendar days, one expiry for every leg. The probability shown is risk-neutral: it uses the assumed 4% interest rate, not a forecast of stock returns. Fees, dividends, early exercise and assignment are excluded.
