Trading a long call spread can be a powerful strategy for limiting risk while still giving yourself upside potential, but many traders overlook a hidden danger. If the stock price drops below their short strike and finishes between the two strikes at expiration, they could unexpectedly find themselves buying hundreds or even thousands of shares they don’t even want. In this video, Schwab Education Senior Manager Cameron May will break down exactly how that risk happens, how much a trader can make or lose with a long call spread, and why can be important to plan the exit strategy before expiration.

Using a real-time example on the thinkorswim Desktop platform, Cameron will walk through setting up a long call spread, reviewing its profit/loss potential, and then demonstrating how to enter a closing order to be executed in the final days before expiration. You’ll see step-by-step how to how a trader might protect themself from accidental assignment while still potentially capturing the benefits of the strategy. If you’re trading long call spreads for income or directional plays, this guide will help you understand not only the opportunity but also the critical risk management steps a trader might take.
