Options AI offers four different types of bullish options:

* Call
* Strap (Classic Strategy)
* Bull Call Spread (Classic Strategy)
* Bull Put Spread (Inversion Strategy)

## **Call Options**

**Definition:** A call option is an on-chain contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy ETH or BTC at a fixed price during a certain period.

### **How Call Options Work:**

* The buyer chooses the size, period, and strike price for the option contract.
  * **Size:** Number of option contracts being acquired.
  * **Period:** Number of days the contract will be active.
  * **Strike Price:** Pre-determined price at which the buyer can purchase the asset.
* The premium is calculated based on the chosen parameters, and the buyer pays this amount in USDC.e using their wallet.
* Upon payment, the buyer receives an ERC721 option token representing the purchased option.
* The buyer can exercise the call option during the selected period using the ERC721 token.
* **Outcome:** If the price of the asset rises above the strike price, the buyer profits. If it does not, the option expires worthless, and the seller keeps the premium.

**Exercise Process:**

* The buyer sends the ERC721 token to the protocol to exercise the option and receives the profit in USDC.e.
* The contract must be exercised before the expiration time, provided the price is above the strike price.

**Available Periods and Strike Prices:**

* **Periods:** Ranging from 7 to 90 days.
* **Strike Prices:** ATM (current market price) and three OTM prices:
  * Market Price + 10%
  * Market Price + 20%
  * Market Price + 30%

**Example:**

* Market price of ETH: $2,337.
  * OTM Strike #1: $2,571
  * OTM Strike #2: $2,804
  * OTM Strike #3: $3,038
